    Did any defffernce between 6gb 4gb ram

    For those who are thinking of buying this in 2022, please stay away. Poco M3 and its twin, Redmi 9T, suffer from the β€œdead boot” issue. If you try to reboot, it will shut down but not boot up. No combination of power and volume button presses can turn it on. Only solution is to wait for the battery to fully drain, then connect to a charger. If the empty battery icon appears, try to turn it on. If it goes back to deadboot, try again (drain battery, connect to charger, try to turn on). Took me 3 tries before I succeeded, and now the phone must avoid reboots.

    in my 5 months of using this phone ive had 3 times already bring my phone in a repair shop. b4 im using it in 2months i dont have any complain but the sms tone. i cant find it. then after that my apps starting to lag. i tried to reboot it but unfortunately it didnt open already. i bring it in a technician then it came back. after 2 weeks of using the same problem again.. then same as the 3 time. then i asked the other technician regarding that problem all poco m3 user came to his shop are all had the same issue as mine. im 1 of those disappointed user of poco m3

    I’ve been using this one for 8 months now and im I M P R E S E D.
    I’ve also saw some lag but overall, i think its a pretty good phone.
    Plus virus scan and Trash apps are a lifesaver if you are gonna use a 32GB version of this phone.
    Even tho i use a 64 version of this phone i still use the trash app everyday.
    The camera isn’t so good or bad. It’s more about a little more above average.
    Also, if you are low on budget, this phone is also a lifesaver

    this is my opinion so yea

    Poco M3 + GCam = Amazing πŸ™‚

  12. AHAMED MASRY on June 9, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    Don’t buy poco m3



  13. S J on June 9, 2022 at 7:12 pm

    Which is better xiaomi redmi note 10s or poco m3?



  14. Curious Explorer on June 9, 2022 at 7:13 pm

    Very bad experience! Bought 6 gb 64 gb poco m3 from a local mi store (Xiaomi’s official store)(Location: Thakurgaon,Bangladesh). Within one week, I found 2 major problems. Selfie camera is very bad because of some software or hardware issue and Gyroscope is not working properly in games (in driving many games).

    I went to that mi store back again and was trying to show them what was wrong with the phone, they were not accepting at all. Then I told them I want to send it for warranty. They sent it. I got the phone from the store after one month and lots of visits and calls so that they can give my phone back from warranty fast. The Selfie camera is good enough now, but Gyroscope still having the same problem. I wanted to buy xiaomi’s more expensive phones by adding some money. They don’t accept it. I’m not going to send it for warranty repair again for one month.

    My whole family using xiaomi’s phone including my past note 4 which is working till today just fine. We are not going to buy any xiaomi phone in the future because of the very bad experience I swear! The store people are very careless and their attitude is not like they want to help.



  15. GJ YT on June 9, 2022 at 7:14 pm

  16. Rajput Rajput on June 9, 2022 at 7:14 pm

  17. Redline Roadkill on June 9, 2022 at 7:14 pm

  18. legalisthebest on June 9, 2022 at 7:15 pm

  19. Yuri Alcala on June 9, 2022 at 7:15 pm

  20. chef sloth on June 9, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    I currently have this as a temporary phone, while I save up for v60 because I really want the dual screen! I am really loving this phone and its so cheap and its gorgeous!!

    I just bought it 1 day ago and I can say it’s pretty smooth but I’m having some force stop issues in YouTube and other Google apps but it’s fine.
    Gaming is pretty good it gets 60 fps in Wild Rift, I will test COD Mobile and Asphalt 9 today.

    I need this phone so badly 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭



  33. Olamigoke Philip A. on June 9, 2022 at 7:30 pm

    Not worth my buy in my opinion



  34. Saitama 22 on June 9, 2022 at 7:30 pm

    This is by far one of the best mobile phone i’ve used. It has big battery capacity, big screen, feel very sturdy and durable. It may not be the fastest but it is smooth, it is responsive and gets the job done..



  35. Muhammad Afnan on June 9, 2022 at 7:31 pm

    Plz suggest me what should I buy Samsung galaxy a12 or pocco m3



  36. affan amin on June 9, 2022 at 7:33 pm

    Every second consumer of
    POCO M3 facing the issue as mobile phone goes dead on MIUI update, Such a pathetic device, Please DONOT BUY Xiaomi POCO M3, there is this issue to almost each device. There is no official statement about Xiaomi on this.

  49. Kristiaan Yeo on June 9, 2022 at 7:52 pm

    On the battery life, it’s the same charge rate as the Redmi. Maths clearly not your strong suit



  50. limon official on June 9, 2022 at 7:53 pm

    Hi, Recently i have bought a new POCO M3 Device. Now i am facing a big problem with this device. When i restart my phone, it won’t turn on by itself. Even after trying to turn on the phone by pressing the power button, it does not respond. It doesn’t respond to charging also. After 8-12 hours of trying, it then turns on.😒😒😒😒
