The best CHEAP smartphone | Poco M3 vs Redmi 9T By SoyaCincau

In November of last year, the Poco m3 is kind of like into existence, and it was a very important smartphone why? Because it was a cheap smartphone, and it had great specs for the money. In fact, it was like so good that if you wanted to buy a smartphone for about six to seven hundred ringgits, the answer was but then, just two months later, in January of this year, Xiaomi Malaysia also launched the Redmi 19. Holy crap. It was basically the same smartphone. In fact, it might just be a little better and the best part both of these smartphones are priced exactly the same, and you know when smartphones are priced exactly the same. It's its my time to shine, because I'm going to be putting these two smartphones camera bump to camera bump.

Do you drop notch to do drop notch right against each other in a comparison which smartphone should you buy? Let's find out before we start this comparison? I just want to clarify one thing: really, quick. Both of these smartphones are entry-level devices. Okay, they are cheap phones for the entry level, so you shouldn't be expecting flagship performance or flagship, build quality or anything like that. But if the smartphone is like sluggish or laggy or if it feels really plastic, I am going to call them out. I'm going to say that it's laggy and plastic, because just because it is a cheap, smartphone doesn't suddenly make like a laggy smartphone, not laggy.

Okay, now that we have that out of the way, let's get on to the first segment on paper, these smartphones definitely have some of the best specs. At the price point you don't get some random unnamed processor at their core. Instead, both devices get snapdragon 662 processors with arena 610 GPUs on top of that you're also getting either 64 or 128 gigs of UFS storage, which is honestly very generous with the triple slot sim tray. You can even expand storage with a micro SD card without sacrificing a sim slot with the Poco m3 you're, getting four gigs of lpddr4x ram across the board, while the Redmi 9t will net you either four gigs or six gigs of lpddr4x memory, depending on the configuration. Those definitely look like good specs on paper, but you have to remember that these are still entry-level devices, so performance is sluggish, to say the least.

Everything always takes more than a moment to respond. You can tap on an app or an action and there's always like a brief pause. Before anything happens. It's almost like you can see the phone thinking about like what you did just before kicking into action. Its like did he tap on the camera icon go that, unfortunately, also means that these are not gaming, smartphones, not very capable ones, at least trying to run stuff like Genshin Impact, even on like the lowest graphical setting is like playing the game on PowerPoint slides.

You can almost count the fps as you swipe around a more optimized game like asphalt.9 is mostly playable on medium to low settings, but if you try to run anything higher the phone just like you know, it just grinds to a halt as far as thermals go, they both get pretty warm to the touch after just about just over like 10 minutes of gameplay. Interestingly, however, I actually got an overheating warning from the Redmi 90. While I was updating Genshin Impact, something you know, I didn't experience on the book m3. That said, I didn't run into any issues while I was actually playing the game on the smartphone, but it could also be because I gave up after a few minutes, because you know it was basically unplayable, probably the biggest plus in these smartphone specs are their 6 000 William hour batteries. These are truly massive cells and considering the specs for each phone, you should expect you know identical battery performance.

They also support 18 watt fast charging, but both smartphones include 22.5 watt, fast charges in the box. The similarities don't end there, either both devices come with 6.53 inch, full HD, plus lcds. Now I really like that both smartphones have full HD plus resolutions, because this is the kind of thing that you know. Manufacturers like to skimp on first, but you can definitely tell that these aren't high-end displays, for starters, there's no fast refresh rate or anything like that. But the most noticeable thing for me is the fact that there is a significant dip in brightness when viewing this phone like even slightly off axis, then again, you shouldn't be expecting like the most advanced LCD on a smartphone.

You know at this kind of price point. You know right at this kind of price point, I'm just happy that we get full HD screens and at this size, they're actually pretty decent for media consumption as long as you're not viewing off axis Xiaomi has also bundled both phones with earpiece stereo speakers to amp up the audio experience. Are they great not really, but they're good enough for the price point? They have a pretty nice and full sound coming from the speakers, even though it's like a little muddy, though I do wish that there was just a little more volume to say that the new Reno 5 is a hit. Turner would be an understatement, especially in this galactic silver colorway. The Reno 5 is one of the brightest smartphones.

I've seen to date the color also shifts and changes depending on how the light hits it which isn't new. But it's still very much an attention grabber. I think the sheer brightness of the color has to do with the new textured back design that Oppo has gone for they call it the diamond spectrum process with the Reno glow on the inside. The Oppo Renault 5 is powered by a Qualcomm snapdragon 765g processor. That's it if you want better audio.

The nice thing is that you can just plug in a pair of wired headphones, because both devices come with three and a half millimeter headphone jacks. So as far as performance, you know there really isn't much that separates these two smartphones, but where they probably differ, the most is, with their cameras, focus m3 features a triple camera setup. At the back, you get a main 48 megapixels, wide camera, a 2 megapixel macro camera and a 2 megapixel depth camera. On the other hand, the Redmi 90 features a quad camera module. Instead, you still get a 48 megapixel wide camera and the 2 megapixel depth, as well as the 2 megapixel macro cameras.

But now you get an additional 8 megapixel ultra-wide camera. As far as the main camera goes, I think both of them produce very similar results. There is not a ton of detail and the colors definitely looked a little washed out even with AI turned on. I would definitely avoid using these smartphones for low light photography, because the results are quite unusable. They don't have much detail with night mode off and even when you switch night mode on there's still plenty of color and luminance noise.

Interestingly, while they use the same 48 megapixel wide cameras, the camera, UI and functions are slightly different between the two on the Redmi 90. You get the three toggle switches for the various preset zoom ranges, but with the m3 you don't get any of that. Maybe it's because the Redmi 90 has the ultra-wide camera, but that still shouldn't stop them from you know, including the two times zoom, since both of these smartphones use similar digital zooming, regardless it's the image quality that we're looking at here and at two times. Well, I mean it looks like digital zoom, which means that it's usable, but there's not a ton of detail or clarity. The Redmi 90 definitely has the edge when it comes to versatility, since it has that extra ultra-wide camera.

However, image quality isn't really great either it has like. You know that CCTV kind of look to the photos, but then again you know at this price point. This isn't very surprising. I was, however, very impressed with the portrait mode because of the quality of the both and the edge detection. I think that the m3 has slightly better exposure and skin tone, but the difference isn't very huge.

On the selfie front, the Poco m3 image is much warmer and has a slight green tint to it. While the 90 has a much cooler, color temperature with a magenta tint, instead kind of weird considering you know the similarities in software and also the same kind of 8 megapixel selfie hardware. I suppose it's not really a big surprise that you know. For the most part, these cameras take very similar photos, because you know they have pretty much identical hardware, but I do like the fact that the Redmi 90 has the extra ultra white camera, because you know I like that little of versatility. Finally, though, let's wrap this whole thing up with the build and also some of the other features that I haven't mentioned, let's be real here at below 700 ringgits you're not going to get any of the fancy materials you see in high-end smartphones.

These are definitely in the fantastic in plastic category of device, but I have to say that the phones certainly feel comfortable to hold in the hand, even if they're mostly made out of plastic, the edges are nicely rounded so that you can comfortably grip these devices. Even though they've got a pretty massive footprint, the buttons have a nice click to them, and the fingerprint scanner plus power button combo is in a comfortable spot to reach. Now this position isn't my favorite, because you know I much rather have a rear, mounted or front mounted scanner, but the accuracy and reliability has been pretty good. So far having a fingerprint scanner is also definitely useful in a world where we're all wearing masks. Both phones also come with an IR blaster, which is always useful and mini 12 out of the box.

There are a couple of little tweaks that Poco has added to the m3 software, like you know the hidden apps' drawer, but besides that it's pretty much the same skin. I have this very loud orange Redmi 90 here alongside the muted black Poco m3, and there are definitely design differences. Despite how similar these smartphones are most noticeable of, which is the camera bump. While the Redmi 90 opts for a conventional design, the book m3 prefers to go. You know all out with a pretty bold look that stretches across the back of the phone, which is nicer uh.

I mean it's kind of like a toss-up for me um, but you know I did notice something quite interesting with the backs of the smartphone. The m3 uses this faux leather, textured plastic back. That's surprisingly, quite the smudge magnet. You know, grime gets stuck there, and it's quite hard to get rid of. Even if you like really try to wipe it down, on the other hand, the concentric circle, design on the back of the Redmi 90, definitely does a better job at rejecting smudges.

To be honest, there's really not much that separates these two devices. In fact, when they first launched, we were like they launched the same smartphone again and, to a certain degree they kind of did these phones perform. So similarly that choosing between them is either really hard or really easy. For me, though, it's really very easy: just buy the one that's cheaper or the one that's on sale when you plan to buy it or the one that you think looks a little nicer, because you know from a usability standpoint. I think both of these smartphones are like really super similar like there's, basically no difference.

The only notable upgrade is the ultra-wide camera and the extra two gigs of ram that you will get on the Redmi 90s top spec model. So if they were at the same price, then I definitely think that the Redmi 9t offers more value for money. But you know if you want, like a pro-tip from me, I would tell you to just save up a little more money and buy the Poco x3 NFC purely from an experience. Standpoint alone, the x3 and FC is, you know, already a much better device, it's just so much smoother and more responsive plus you get the really nice 120hz screen, which is just way nicer to use than these 60hz panels, and you can get all of that for just 200 ringgits more for the base model, but you know if you really cannot afford that 200 ringgit, and you have to choose between these two smartphones. I think the Redmi 90 is better, especially if they're both priced exactly the same, but that's what I think.
