To recap
The ‘Pro’ edition is a whole different beast compared to the sub-par standard M3, which is great news. But, in the same breath, the presence of strong competition for little extra cash doesn’t exactly see the M3 Pro excel. It’s got good battery life and a decent main camera, though, so there are upsides and downsides to this handset.
