Gigabyte GSmart Mika M3 Overall Review

The Gigabyte GSmart Mika M3, launched in October 2014, was designed to cater to the mid-range segment of the smartphone market. Featuring a 5.0-inch display, this device aimed to strike a balance between usability and portability, offering an ample screen for media consumption and web browsing without compromising on comfort.

Powered by a MediaTek MT6582 chipset and equipped with 1 GB of RAM, the Mika M3 was positioned to handle everyday tasks with ease. While it may not have been the top performer in its class, it was more than capable of providing a smooth experience for the average user, navigating social media, basic gaming, and multitasking with relative ease.

Photography was another area where the Mika M3 aimed to impress, with a 13 MP primary camera that promised clear, detailed shots. It was complemented by an 8 MP front-facing camera, which was quite impressive for its time, catering well to the selfie trend and video calls.

Storage was set at 8 GB, which could be expanded via a microSD card, providing flexibility for users to store their photos, videos, and apps. The device was powered by a 1900 mAh battery, which, by the standards of the time, offered enough power to get through a day of moderate use.
