Poco, a Xiaomi sub-brand, has introduced a new budget smartphone called M6 in India. It comes over a year after the M5 was launched. But despite being a successor to the M5, it’s not an upgrade in most aspects. But it’s still a reasonable phone for its price, but it will face serious competition. The M6 joins its cousin–the M6 Pro—in the country.
Poco M6 price in India, availability
Poco M6 comes in three variants: 4GB RAM, 6GB RAM, and 8GB RAM. The 4GB RAM version will cost Rs. 10,499, whereas the 6GB RAM version will go for Rs. 11,499. Similarly, the 8GB RAM version of the Poco M6 will set you back by Rs. 13,499.
All three versions go on sale starting December 26, 2023, via Flipkart.com in the country. As you can expect, there are some bank offers to reduce the final price tag of the phone as long as you pay using an ICICI, HDFC, or SBI credit card.
