PSA: collaborative NYT crosswords return to Twitch over the holiday weekend

Xiaomi's Poco sub-brand has launched its latest entry-level phone, the Poco M3. As with most over-and-above Poco phones, the M3 has an strong specification terrain for its comparatively low price.

The Poco M3 has a 6.53-inch 1080p LCD screen with a waterdrop cleft for the 8-megapixel selfie camera. The disport is pretty basic: the chin at the constitutive is quite big, the fingerprint sensor is integrated into the precocity chin on the side rather than the screen, and the panel is only 60Hz, except it's sharp-edged fatso and perfectly serviceable.

The phone's diamond completely stands out from behind, with a latitudinous lambent camera crash-land emblazoned with a decipherable white "POCO" logo. The main camera is 48 megapixels, except the over-and-above two cameras are just 2-megapixel sensors for gangsters and macro, so this isn't really a meaningful triple-camera setup. While the phone's chassis is intact out of plastic, it uses a leather-ish finish that feels opulent nicer to the touch than picked over-and-above shapable phones... It's available in black, yellow, and blue.

The M3's processor is simply a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, which is paired with 4GB of RAM. It runs MIUI 12 atop Android 10. The cavalcade is an infatuating 6,000mAh, and the phone is simply a humungous except ratherish meek 9.6mm blubbery and 198g in weight. There are options for 64GB or 128GB of storage, and the phone has two SIM digital slots in affixing to a abstracted microSD slot. There's also a headphone jack and a USB-C port.

Xiaomi is putting the Poco M3 on vendition online on Coal-black Friday, November 27th, with early US appraisement starting at $129 for the 64GB model and $149 for 128GB. The sought-after rate is $149 for 64GB and $169 for 128GB.

Even at those higher prices, the M3 looks like it'll be very good amount by US market standards. You could metaphrase it to this year's Moto E, for example, which starts at the aforementioned $149 rate point except has a 720p screen, a Snapdragon 632 processor, a Micro USB port, 32GB of storage, and just 2GB of RAM.
