Poco m3 pro 5g, worth it?

Discussion

converted it's around 150-160USD in my parts
90hz screen
dual sim 5g
wifi ac 5000mah battery
fast charge with fast charger (i believe)

cons:
shared sd card slot with sim
meditek SOC

what do you guys think? the SOC is a bit of a bummer since I really want to root and go with custom roms/EU

xiaomi.eu doesnt make rom for mtk, unfortunately.

Is this a problem? Each other custom room is better.

I'd rather buy a snapdragon device because of the GCam support but that's just me, I take a loot of photos

https://www.cyanogenmods.org/google-camera-redmi-9/ I suppose it is true. If it exists for mkt in redmi 9 , we will see for mkt in m3 pro.

I checked two gcam-s 7.4 and 8.1 suggested for redmi 9 and both work on m3pro.

In my opinion, the Poco M3 Pro 5G is a good entry level smartphone in the 5G sphere. It’s got everything that one would want in a budget smartphone, including a massive 5,000 mAh battery, huge HD+ screen, fast refresh rate, powerful mediatek 5G processor, a cool design and a good set of cameras.

This m3 pro is similar to redmi note 8 pro. Maybe a bit more powerful. It's very good entry level.

Pricing for the Poco M3 Pro 5G has not been shared yet and will be avialable after the virtual event I think. But it was recently tipped that the 6GB + 128GB variant of the phone will cost Rs. 17,999. The phone is expected to launch officially at a virtual event today, June 8 and I think it will be somewhere around 17k. It also has a Dimensity 700 which I think will make performance really good. Worth it I'd say.

I ordered 6gb version for my wife for 170$ with knowledge the root is possible and how to do it. The existing custom ROM was not a key for me. But I found , the lot of custom ROMs exist for redmi 9 with MKT. This Poco will the same popular because of price and functionality. We will see custom ROMs after some months.

I think it's worth it. It's a very affordable smartphone and what's more is that it is 5G enabled. The smartphone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC, which is a 5G processor and very capable too and I think for the 15k price point it is a pretty good deal to consider. The battery and cameras are really good as well
