For the first time ever, POCO is making use of MediaTek Dimensity technology, offering enhanced overall performance and speed. This powerful MediaTek Dimensity 700 offers flagship-level performance while maintaining lower power consumption for a long-lasting battery thanks to its 7nm processing technology. With an integrated 5G modem, the device supports dual 5G* standby, providing users with 5G that’s always on without physically swapping out SIM cards.
“The benefits of a fast 5G network go beyond super fast downloads, high quality videos and extra smooth gaming – 5G also allows for a more stable network in crowded areas,” said Angus Ng, Head of Product Marketing at POCO Global. “By taking advantage of the benefits brought by 5G at the current price point, a rarity in the market, POCO M3 Pro 5G is yet another proof of our promise to offer our users innovations that truly matter.”
POCO M3 Pro 5G’s high-level performance also delivers an exceptional entertainment experience.

The CPU is paired with the Mali-G57 GPU, a new GPU architecture that delivers an additional 30% of performance density and energy efficiency. Along with the brand-new UFS 2.2 storage technology, the chipset turns the device into an entertainment fighter that effortlessly loads and plays large graphics-heavy games, video files and more.
Play smooth and fast with 90Hz FHD+ display, and more
To match the strong capabilities of the processor, POCO M3 Pro 5G sports display with the user experience that blows expectations. With the 90Hz refresh rate, POCO M3 Pro 5G offers faster visuals and a smoother experience for users. POCO M3 Pro 5G also upgrades from POCO M3’s Dot Drop to a DotDisplay. DynamicSwitch enables the display to automatically switch between 90Hz, 60Hz, 50Hz and 30Hz**, allowing it to adapt refresh rate to content while saving power.
The 6.5″ FHD+ display produces images in a clear 1080P resolution and sports dual light sensors on the front and back to enable 360° light detection, allowing it to smartly and precisely adjust between 4096 levels of brightness for optimal visibility.
Offering a complete user experience with 48MP triple camera array and multi-day battery
At an accessible price, the triple camera array featuring a 48MP main camera along with a 2MP macro camera and 2MP depth sensor completes POCO M3 Pro 5G’s all-round user experience. The 48MP main camera enables users to capture clearer and more detailed images, particularly in low-light conditions. A host of camera software features, such as Night mode, Time-lapse video and Timed burst, greatly increases the camera array’s usage scenarios and allows users to get creative with photography and videography.
Supporting all this power is a large 5,000mAh (typ) battery that can last up to 2+ days***. With 18W fast charging support and a 22.5W in-box charger, users can top up the battery and be back on the move in no time.
