Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G Philippines Price, Specs, Availability, Five Selling Points

Last June 3, 2021, Chinese technology company Xiaomi launched a new and affordable 5G-enabled Android smartphone model in the Philippines, which allows more Filipinos to enjoy the benefits of the latest generation of broadband connectivity without spending too much.

The freshly released Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G builds upon the strengths of its predecessor and comes with give strong selling points that should make it very attractive to Filipinos.

This new model lets you enjoy 5G connectivity in the Philippines, which supports speeds of up to 1Gbps. Some users report that they usually enjoy 500Mbps speeds in key 5G zones in the country.

First, the two variants of this 5G smartphone model have budget-friendly price tags that should be accessible even to entry-level consumers. The 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM version goes for only PHP 8,990 while the one with 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM sells for just PHP 11,990 via the POCO Official Global Store on Lazada.

The RAM and ROM combination of both versions along with the poweful 7nm 2.2GHz Octa-Core MediaTek MT6833 Dimensity 700 5G processor and Mali-G57 MC2 GPU allow the devices to deliver an enjoyable mobile experience when playing resource-intensive games, running multiple applications at once, or even just when editing photos before uploading them to social media.

So if your budget for a new handset is less than PHP 12,000, these two variants should definitely be in your list of 2021 smartphones to consider getting.

Second, the POCO M3 Pro 5G has a hip and trendy design that should appeal to mobile users both young and young-at-heart.

Flaunting an eye-catching shell with a high-gloss finish, this handset is available in three striking colorways, namely, Poco Yellow, Power Black, Cool Blue. 

Not to mention, it's fairly light at only 190 grams, making it a joy to keep in the pocket or pouch.

Third, POCO M3 Pro 5G has a large 6.5-inch FullHD+ IPS display that's both brilliant and crisp. This screen also has a 90Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth screen transitions when you're swiping your fingers across the touchscreen.

Also, compared to the DotDrop display of the POCO M3, the POCO M3 Pro 5G's DotDisplay - with just a small punch hole housing the front-facing camera instead of a big notch - is more elegant and nicer to look at.

Fourth, this smartphone has a decent array of cameras that make it a good point-and-shoot digicam alternative for casual photographers.

It has three cameras at the back, namely, the 48 MegaPixel main camera, the 2 MegaPixel macro camera, and the 2 MegaPixel depth sensor, which all work together to provide good versatility to budding mobile photographers. I kind of wish that it also had an ultra-wide-angle shooter but I guess Xiaomi also had to cut corners to keep the price of the handset low.

In front, there's an 8 MegaPixel snapper powered by Xiaomi's own beautification software for those who enjoy taking selfies and groufies with their loved ones.

Fifth and finally, the Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G has a massive 5,000 mAh Li-Po battery pack that should provide at least a whole day of uptime even for heavy gamers. Casual users should get even multiple days of battery life from this device.

This smartphone also supports 18W Fast Charging feature that should greatly cut down the time going from 0% to 100% when plugging it to an electrical outlet.

Now, if you think the Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G is the right handset for you, you may purchase the your preferred variant via the POCO Official Global Store in Lazada. Both versions come with 1-year local manufacturer warranty and up to 36-months intallment option.
