Poco M3 India launch is on the horizon. The launch of the Poco M3 has been officially teased by the company. A new video uploaded by Poco India on Twitter talks about the design and performance of the budget phone.
The Poco M3 in India will be the successor to the Poco M2 which is one of the popular budget phones in India from 2020. The new video starts off with two people (cameraman and host) carrying Poco M3 to a mall in Bengaluru and asking out how the phone looks. First, the Poco M3 is shown in the Black colour variant which gets a response as "Killer look". Next up they talk about performance and call it an "OP" a.k.a Over Performer. The Yellow colour variant is shown next in the video. The video also highlights the heavy task performance of the Poco M3 - it can handle audio, video, and image editing apps, all at the same time. Apart from that, the phone is also shown in all three colour options - Yellow, Blue, and Black.
