The phone being a Poco M3 successor comes with a funky design, which is known as the SwitchBlade design. There is a vertical strip in the top left corner that houses the camera hump and the company’s branding. This is a change from the big camera setup on the M3. But, what remains the same is the attractive colour options that include the Poco-proprietary yellow colour. Other colours are Cool Blue and Power Black.

On the camera front, there are three rear snappers: a 48-megapixel main camera, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The phone gets an 8-megapixel front camera. This is similar to the Poco M3.

The smartphone also comes with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. This is a step down from the 6,000mAh battery seen on the Poco M3. But, don’t be disappointed as the company claims it will last you for up to two days. It runs MIUI 12 based on Android 11.
