The POCO M3 Pro 5G has been announced on June 1 and will be available for early-bird sales on June 6 (6.6 sales) starting from as low as RM599!
At this price point, POCO M3 Pro 5G currently claims the title of ‘Most Affordable 5G Device’ in the market which was previously held by the realme 8 5G.
In terms of features, you’ll find the phone to be almost identical to the Redmi Note 10 5G and realme 8 5G. In fact, all three devices are powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 and feature a 6.5″, 90Hz IPS LCD display.

Priced at only RM699, the device is undoubtedly packed with great features. The Dimensity 700 chipset is a superior mid-range chipset and is well optimized for gaming. Nevertheless, we do suggest opting for the 6GB + 128GB model if mobile gaming is a priority.

Final Thoughts
POCO being a budget-friendly device has really done a good job by staying true in its offerings. At such an attractive price point, there are no longer any reasons to refuse to own a 5G compatible device. Even if Malaysia isn’t 5G ready.
One last thing to note, if purchasing the POCO M3 Pro 5G at the original price of RM 799, you may want to consider getting the Redmi Note 10 5G which is also priced at RM 799 but comes with a slight boost in RAM.
