- An alleged render of the Poco M3 was leaked just days before the phone launched.
- The design is reminiscent of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk Special Edition phone that launched earlier this month.
- The Poco M3 will be officially launched on November 24th.
The official launch of the Poco M3 is only a few days away, but it is only now that the first leaked images of the phone have appeared. And after rendering 91MobileThe back design of the phone will be the most noticeable feature.
The Poco M3 has a notch and a noticeable chin for each plaster. On the right edge there is a volume rocker and an on / off switch, which can function as a capacitive fingerprint sensor due to their sunken shape. This would be a design change from the Poco M2’s well-camouflaged rear fingerprint sensor.
Speaking of the rear: the Poco M3 in the render doesn’t look like its predecessor. The top quarter of the phone features a large black rectangular panel that houses a triple rear view camera, LED flash, and distinctive Poco branding. If this sounds a little familiar to you, it’s likely because the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk special edition adopted a similar design. Unlike this device, the Poco M3 will apparently come in three bright color options – blue, yellow, and black.

In terms of specs, a phone was spotted on Geekbench earlier this month, which is believed to be the Poco M3. This device apparently had a Snapdragon 662 chipset with 4GB of RAM. Since benchmarks are easily manipulated, we can’t say for sure that this is the hardware cocktail that Poco will be using.
In any case, we will find out more on November 24th at 7 a.m. ET when the Poco M3 makes its official debut in China.
