The phone comes with a 6.53-inch FHD+ display with a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC coupled with 4GB RAM and up to 128GB storage that is further expandable via a microSD card slot. It runs on Android 10-based MIUI 12 custom skin on top and has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security. Connectivity features could include 4G LTE, dual-band WI-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and USB Type-C port for charging and data sync.

As for the cameras, the POCO M3 has triple sensors at the back with a 48MP primary sensor, a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots, and a 2MP macro lens for close up shots. For selfies and video chats, there is an 8MP snapper on the front. Lastly, a 6,000mAh battery with 18W fast-charging support fuels the phone. POCO M3 is priced at USD 149 (approx Rs 11,000) for the 4GB + 64GB base variant and USD 169 (approx Rs 12,500) for the 4GB + 128GB variant.
