@K B i mean people dont even buy this for the performance
@K B its more for the battery
@K B I would say its more of a casual phone
@K B RN7 Use 660 and RN8 use 665
Correct
This guy is the best reviewer. Most reviewers now a days doesn’t really test anything. They just shows fancy editing and give overview.
I agree
He is my favorite
Agreed yet the reviewers you talk about have millions of subs due to fancy editing
@@BP-ez7nu peeps love shiny stuff. Also most love watching short vids with 1000 cuts.
Agree man..
New subscriber and found your reviews are honest and unbiased as compared to others. Very much appreciated these days. Keep up the great work!!
This review enlightened me, thanks a lot!
Glad to see that description of touch response.
Thanks for the review Chris!! Came at the perfect time!
Thanks for another concise and honest review. This guy deserves more views than the other bias tech reviewers. 👍👍👍
This got sold out in a few minutes on a popular online shopping platform here in the Philippines. More than anything else, it's really the cheap price that draws people to buy this phone. For the well off, it could just be a regular utility phone. But for economically deprived, this may already look like a flagship and something they can brag about.
Thanks...you are the best youtuber unboxer of the world i like that you explane everything...keep your nice job!
glad your channel is taking off
You have become my favorite reviewer. Enjoy your style of reviews😊
100% agree, superb review as always. Cris can you review the ASUS VivoBook Flip 14? With Ryzen 5 4500U or R7 4700, Expandable RAM (4GB onboard + slot) and pen?
Thanks for detailed reviews . You tell us what we want to know
Thanks for the nice work , always enjoying your reviews , would You be so kind and compare S10 lite with S20FE p990 , battery life , camera.....value for money
Thank you TechTablets! Please keep doing reviews on inexpensive phones. Most people can't afford expensive phones and we appreciate your reviews. How about include Umidigi phones ?
Your review is trully honest, i always like the reviewer who make honest opinion eventhough he get the free stuff from sponsor. Keep up the good review and videos... 👍
17:18 Described almost 99% of Tech CZcamsrs
Thanks for the excellent review, as always
well, it feels that this model was made to completely trash the oneplus nord n100, since they have similar specs but the poco m3 is a lot cheaper...
one plus nord pretty more expensive yet med ranged specs.
The software is oneplus upperhand. The clean software is the only reason people buy oneplus
Hey Chris! 3 Things -- the first on a totally unrelated topic that we enjoy:
1. Next to nobody on CZcams reviewed the kinda new Beelink GK55 windows 10 Mini PC. I needed to upgrade the one at my TV and WOW what an upgrade for 11/11 price of $179 shipped and taxed to the US. I refused to believe that Intel J4125 really based clocked at 2Ghz, but it does. Fan noise is a mixed bag: it's a soft harmless sound but than fan seems to be always on. (Hmm.) I may install FAN CONTROL and play with it. But what a value for someone like me who doesn't game but wants 8GBs of RAM and the ability to stream 1080p60 without gumming things up. (I had a 1Ghz Celeron from two years back.)
2. I agree that this screen frankly looks like garbage on camera. And that this phone in general seems to be a misfire.
3. A question, sir. Did Apple and Samsung destroy the AMOLED and Gorilla Glass 5/6 market this year? It's the only way I can explain Xiaomi (and others) taking these giant backwards steps. Even the newer Nord stepped back this way. What do you think?
Another great review here... Absolutely honest reviews, with much testing and samples. I did actually buy this on first day (don't have it yet) of sales. Really hoping some updates and Gcam will fix some issues. Certainly poco x3 is way better but my budget was low at the moment (plus my old phone has cracked screen) so I've gone with this one... Official price is 129 euros for EU with free shipping, certainly a good price but nothing extra ordinary. It should never sell above that price point, 149 euros for the 64 gb is way too much. And I do think the price is going to keep at the current price because, let's face it, at 149 euros it has serious competition. Plus, one last thing: Chris is an honest reviewer, my favorite one (and i see a lot). No-one should actually attack him for such an honest review! Keep them coming Chris!
Thanks a lot for this video Chris. I just wanted to see it from you and here it is.
Great, thanks for watching
Thanks for the great review, appreciate these real reviews, not the mock adverts the rest of CZcams has become!
Agreed with you about good main camera + useable ultrawide.
Thank you so much for being honest with your reviews, I really do respect you for that.
Great video as usual. Always come to your channel for Chinese phones/tablets/laptops other tech.
More to come! Some tablets soon, min pcs etc
@@Techtablets Will you be getting the BMAX Y13 with the new M5 and M7 chips (Pro and Power I think they're calling them)?
I appreciate the honest review, thank you. Was planning to buy this phone
Chris reviews are best... honest .. brutal honest reviews
Thank you I Appreciate your honesty
Great review. Just wanted to say you are still the best reviewer i found on youtube. I just bought a new tablet: Samsung Tab S5e because of your review. We are very happy with it! Please keep on the good work!
Great tablet enjoy!
This one I believe is on the same platform as the recently announced Redmi note 9 4G version in China. Would be great if you can get that one and have a comparison between the 2. Thanks for the great review as always!
Ty for your honest review. You are only reviewer can trust now. Hope you do more phone. Like redmi note 9 5g and redmi note 9 pro 5g
5.5" version would be epic
Wish you'll do a Redmi Note 9 vs Poco M3 comparison. Great review as always!
Great review! Appreciate it 👍
As always an honest review ☺️
Great review, clear and honest, love it! I actually won this phone from Poco themselves and I am so curious to my personal findings when it arrives!
I love honest reviews like yours and bought this phone after watching those so i won't have any nasty surprises. By the time I got my hands on this I think the lags have been fixed. So far, after a few weeks of use, the phone performs as expected and appears to be awesome value for money.
Keep doing what you do Chris! Lol'd at the thumbnail bit 😂
Why is the thumbnail funny
Also, what about a followup review in about a week, with Gcam and more updates to see where it stands then.
den einai kalo sta 150 sto scroutz
I love the videos You make for us not having the latest of tech! I Have had so much benefits for just looking Your videos! Need to replace my Nokia 7 plus and looking for same perf for half the price, so still looking! Thak You! You make some awsome reviews! Oh well, they are all awsome...
It's actually decent for its price, competitors doesn't have that good specs on that price range.
They generally don't I agree. I'm trying to think of better budget phones with these kinds of specs, around this price, and I can't immediately think of any. Especially at the $129 opening sale price.
Good review...wts tat wallpaper
Thanks very appreciated
8:13 (Facebook & TikTok checked) " uninstall that rubbish that you don't want" damn savage. hahaha.
Thank you for your honesty!
Thanks for being honest Chris.
Its ok, well kind of... back is interesting and in yellow colour its looks great for me. But Redmi 9 has similar price, a bit lower battery, but more capable camera setup with ultra wide. Plus, Helio G80 is more capable chip than SD 662, it wont noticable for majority of users but still.....
That 3 in 1 slot for simcard and microsd card is really rare nowadays, only asus that have the same feature like that...hope many brand will follow this step
You’re my fave reviewer. Even if it’s 3am here, and I have No intention of buying, I’m watching this just to learn what makes your reviews so rich and info packed, and the delivery so high quality. ☕️☕️☕️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰🥰🥰
Lag is a optimization problem definitely. Love your honesty.
For me it's not lagging on my end
Hi, I've been following your video ever since mi4s times, keep up the quality review and have my subs 😁
Wow that's a long time thanks 😊🙂
Gran video como siempre!
6000mAh with that cost? I just found out that there are brands like this that offer crazy prices.
Thank you for the honest review. Feels like every other youtuber is just hyping it up.
Got it on a cheap preorder deal for 80 bucks so I am curious how well it is.
$80 is a great price!
@@Techtablets He means 80€
Thanks. Can you measure contrast ratio of display?
Great review. You're my favourite ♥️
10:32 FINALLY! CHRIS IS DEFINITELY A LIVING EMBODIMENT OF "THIS IS FINE" MEME!1!1
I bought a similarly specced Redmi 9T (4GB / 64GB, SD 662) for my mom, and it doesn't have the UI lags shown here with the Poco M3. Battery life is great, lasting several days, though my mom is a light user. Must be a Poco specific optimization issue.
Which one is better poco m3 or Huawei y7a about games and camera?
Hi, i have samsung galaxy A40 and i am thinking about this poco. What do you think is better<
sorry for my english
Thanks for honest review ❤️🙂
Thank you for your review, very fair. I just ordered a M3 for a collegue, 96€. I hope she will not hate me.
@@MrOrtmeier I would not say JUNK... Under 100€ it is worth trying.
Great video and audio quality. The best and most reliable reviewer.
if someone had offered me this smartphone four or five years ago, I would have taken it immediately ... today I have a little more demands for a good smartphone :)...perfect review as usual :)
four or five years ago, a smartphone with these specs and cameras would have costed 400$, and it'd have sold like crazy
More $550, Snapdragon 662 is better than the 821, 4GB Ram was top end then (bear in mind we’re talking about Galaxy S6/S7 generation) multiple cameras were pretty much unheard of, 6000Mah battery and the bezelless screen, so you’re looking at $550 upwards
I still have my Sony XZ bought in 2016 for $600. Even with flagship chipset SD820, the XZ is not really smooth, drains battery like drinking water and worst of all heat up like crazy until the main camera is not usable due to overheating.
indeed more room for further improvements for Pm3 at least ... honesty is the best policy
Hey techtablets can you help me? Which is better tecno pova ld7 or poco m3?
So, does the 64 GB model uses eMMC flash storage? Thanks for your hard work!
UFS 2.1 and the 128GB UFS 2.2
Samsung ucmp chip(memory and flash in one chip),lpddr4x+ufs2.2
Also I don't know if there's been more updates since the review but mine is working really very well at the moment. Nothing like what's being described here!
No lag or noticable hang?? Please tell, cause I'm thinking about getting it
which would be the best color??
I read somewhere on the internet the ram on this Snapdragon 662 could be lpddr3 or lpddr4x . Not know which one is inside this unit.
The M3 is using DDR4X RAM, UFS2.1(64Gb) and UFS 2.2(128GB) storage.
is that the mimax1? currently using mimax2 still in good condition ✌️
Honest review. I really like this channel.
Great review as usual but why are phones becoming so thick/heavy/brick like these days? I want light and thin!
I was watching videos of this poco phone and I was 99% percent convinced to buy this phone. AND THEN I SAW THIS VIDEO.
Got mine yesterday. Already regretting it
@@eviLscented xiaomi sucks. I sold my lite and x3 after playing with them for a bit.
Does Netflix really streams in 1080p? Poço F1 eventually got Widevine L1 and Netflix did not streams in HD...
Probably because Netflix has list of phone models on server, and it won't allow other models to download Full HD videos. It also has checks for Widevine L1 on device and checks for rooting.
So devices can run in Full HD if they use an older modified Netflix app, with removed server check.
It's crazy, as if Microsoft would say, you HP laptop can't run Office.
Thanks for the review. I am still using the excellent Redmi Note 4 as a backup phone and use it mainly for youtube, actually I am writing with it know. So I'm kinda on the Xiaomi's side on the budget segment. For some people 20 dollars is a big deal. If I needed a second phone, I might buy Poco M3 but I don't need one yet.
Now who said “battery king” I wonder? Hmmm 🤔🤣
Hi ,Frankie , love your videos!
what about display quality ?
Man, could you please test other launchers with poco m3 and see if it solves the lag issue?
@@aj0425 If you're bitching about lag pay up and buy a Mi 10T Pro. It's a 150 dollar phone.
@@vybezone Great resolution but could be brighter. I mentioned this in my review.
I think you can try to compare POCO M3 and Redmi 9 also to see which one is better
Thank u so much sir
That thumbnail reaction 😂
I was thinking of buying this one, but the issue with daylight and screen brightness, or lack of, worries me. Is this the same issue with Xiaomi X3 and Mi 10T?
Hello Sire,
I hope you'll review the Redmi Note 9 4G also. Thanks!
I own one and I agree with all the points presented🤷
Idc if I've already seen videos on something, it's always worth it to have your take my man. Keep going! 👍🏽
Full comparision with Poco X3 NFC would be awesome
Does it have a notification led?
16:38 exactly but my friends started laughing at me 😐
To me megapixel count doesn't matters it's the sensor size and quality that matters
I remember my friend laughing about my "garbage" only 12 mp pixel 2 camera, lets just say he wasnt laughing when we conpared them to his 64 mp camera
@@sixunity1171 right. megapixels is just marketing gimmick. it doesn't matter. I used to have a one megapixel camera long ago that took really good quality photos because olympus cameras had good lens.
A rare honest straight forward reviewer..... LOL
For a casual user that is on a budget, its definitely not bad. I just ordered this phone online as a second phone.
I'm considering a cheap phone for my 11 yr old, which would you suggest? Budget is in the area of £100 plus a bit
Can't we go back to slim phones with smaller displays 😔 I mean I love my Poco X3 but it feels like a brick in my pocket.
Chances are lower right now with failure of iPhone 12 Mini... It didn't sold well so that will give "no little, slim phones wanted" message for smartphone industry...
Will it run filmora?
Does the UI feel better when you turn the animations down or off completely in Developer Options? I tend to do that by habit with phones now as animations just annoy me, no matter how 'cool' the companies think they make their UI look.
I tested thst its a bit better but still feels like its running at 30fps
Is there gyro delay in this phone?
I will think about it...
whats the battery type of this phone, li ion or li polymer? can you check it on cpu z app and tell us? thanks.
I like your videos , I subs to you as welll, but you need to "add" in your videos some "numbers" on the screen when you mention specs, there are alot of people who doesn't speak English every day. Just an advice, good luck !
PS : take a look at MKBHD for example .
What are the chances in your opinion that they can fix the performance and battery life with updates?
Right now they have the 64gb version for 110€, which is damn low.
Thank you Chris you just saved me again. I was about to jump on this with all the other "giant killer" type reviews out there. I need better camera capabilities and the raves about the 6k mah 🔋 are moderated by your showing it as little if no better than many 4k mah batteries, which was a major disappointment.
Why are some of the icons duplicated in the app drawer, like the settings and Chrome icon? Is this another firmware bug?
Great review as usual. I never buy a phone before checking TechTablets.
