POCO M3 Pro 5G Battery Review and Opinion

Currently and due to the dimensions of Android terminals, which have increased considerably, since their screen has done the same, they are expected to offer autonomy that at least allows to exceed the day of use. We will tell you if this is possible to achieve with the POCO M3 Pro 5G and, also, if it meets any other need you have in the autonomy section.

One of the first things you should know about this device is that it has dimensions of 161.8 x 75.3 x 8.9 millimeters , which is not exactly an exaggeration, and that it does not combine at all bad with the weight of the smartphone, since this stays in 190 grams . Of course, both characteristics coincide when it comes to allowing the battery built into the phone to be of a very high amperage. And the terminal does not disappoint, since the chosen component has 5,000 mAh . A brand that in principle predicts very good things in the times of use that it allows.

It is important to mention some of the hardware elements that are relevant in relation to energy consumption. The integrated screen is a 6.5-inch IPS type , which in principle is correct, but it does not take advantage of all the good that the AMOLED panels have in this section. In addition, the processor is a MediaTek Dimensity 700 , which includes 5G connectivity and also uses a seven-nanometer manufacturing technology. Nothing spectacular, it must be said, but there is also nothing that doubts that it can offer a good performance in battery life.

Good performance of the POCO M3 Pro 5G at the battery level

We have not found any section in which this smartphone is out of tune when measuring the duration of its battery on a day-to-day basis. The first thing to say is that we have had no difficulty in completing a day of use , even if it is necessary to abuse the maximum power offered by the phone from time to time or to raise the brightness to very important levels. Therefore, it must be said that it complies without the slightest problem so that you are generally satisfied.

But, due to the good charge that the phone’s battery has and a management that seems to us to be quite well achieved in the work carried out by the software (perhaps somewhat aggressive in what has to do with the applications that run in the background), we have to say that we have surpassed the aforementioned mark practically constantly. We have not reached two days of use -even if it was contained-, but touching one and a half is usual … And this is very good news.

Intensive use of the screen, is everything okay?

It must be said that the POCO M3 Pro 5G does not disappoint in this section either, since with the screen on and with a brightness power of about 250 nits we have achieved times that are in a range between 14 and 16 hours . Some really good brands and that makes it very clear that this is a model with which you can consume multimedia content without many problems. If the brightness is increased twice, obviously the times go down, but not as much as you might think and it is not strange to get eleven or twelve hours. The truth is that the phone is very good here.

We have also checked how this device works when the panel is constantly turned on and is demanding a lot in terms of performance (an example is games). Here the processor is not particularly efficient, that has been quite clear to us, and without offering bad results, since the battery amperage is very high, it must be said that more use could be made of the device. But even so, it must be said that overcoming eight hours game after game is completely possible.

A charge that does not disappoint in the POCO M3 Pro 5G

The first thing to know is that the maximum fast charging power that you will find in the phone (obviously, and speaking of a terminal that has a reasonable price, nothing wireless of course and this is not exactly something to criticize), is of 18 W. It’s a correct mark and it’s going to be good enough to deliver. Curiously, the device includes a 22.5 W charger, more than it admits -this is not a problem, since it is self-modulating- and the truth is that it is appreciated that the manufacturer is not stingy in this accessory.

With all that we have said when checking the speeds you can achieve when charging the battery, and do not forget that it has 5,000 mAh, you can achieve between 30 and 33% filling by having the POCO M3 Pro 5G connected for half an hour to the current. It must always be remembered that when reaching levels above 85%, the speed drops so as not to affect the useful life of the component. The fact is that the device does not disappoint here … but it is not as impressive as it happens with OPPO models, without going any further.

Conclusion when testing the POCO M3 Pro 5G

It is possible that it may surprise you that we do not talk about what this phone offers in the Battery section of the Settings. But there is nothing particularly noteworthy, since apart from the usual information on the remaining time with the load that the component has and the use that each application of the load gives, there is only one Saving Mode that does not offer anything new. . When activating it, it always comes to mind that what is reduced is the power and certain elements of the operating system to consume less. But this is not an obstacle to be clear that the POCO M3 Pro 5G is a phone that responds very well in everything that has to do with autonomy.

Thanks to the high battery charge and a good overall consumption management, the feelings that we have left have been really good when using the device as the main phone on a day-to-day basis. In addition, we have not detected problems of any kind in the heat generated when using the fast charge, and it works much better than expected when the screen is constantly turned on. Well, without a doubt this smartphone … so do not hesitate to consider your purchase, since you will be quite satisfied in everything that has to do with the autonomy section. Nice work done in making this phone.
