Under the hood, the device packs the MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G SoC that is built on the 7nm architecture. It is an octa-core processor paired with the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU to deliver high-grade performance. In addition, there is a huge 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging onboard. There is also a USB-C port for charging and a 3.5mm audio jack as well.
Moreover, the Poco M3 Pro features 5G connectivity, along with Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It runs the MIUI 12 for POCO based on Android 11 out-of-the-box.
