The Poco M3 will go on sale in India for the second time on Tuesday afternoon. Launched earlier this month, the smartphone had gone on sale for the first time in the country last week and received great response. The smartphone maker claimed to have received interest from around 30 lakh users and managed to sell 1.5 lakh units before the phone went out of stock. The smartphone was launched in three colour variants - Cool Blue, Power Black, and flashy Poco Yellow.

To meet the demand, Poco is hosting two different sales this week. Today, only the Cool Blue and Power Black variants of the phone will go on sale while the most sought-after Poo Yellow will be available during a special Hello Yellow sale on February 19. The device can be purchased via Flipkart starting at 12 pm.
