The latest Poco phone comes days after Xiaomi launched an affordable 5G phone in India. Dubbed Redmi 12 5G, the smartphone carries Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC. It is priced at Rs 16,999 for the base 4GB RAM and 128GB storage option.
Poco M6 Pro specifications
The Poco M6 Pro looks similar to the Poco M5 with slight tweaks in the rear camera module. There’s still a large black patch on the back that includes the camera cutouts and Poco branding. The front has a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera — an uncommon design on smartphones in this range. The sides have the usual power button and volume rockers.
The phone features a 90Hz 6.79-inch Full-HD+ with a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The screen has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
It draws power from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC and a 5,000mAh battery. The Poco M6 Pro runs on Android 13-based MIUI 14 out-of-the-box and is promised to get two major Android OS updates plus three years of security updates. In comparison, many smartphones in the sub-Rs 12K category receive one major Android update.
The back includes a 50-megapixel AI sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfies and video calls, there
is an 8-megapixel camera.
Other key features include 18W fast charging, an IP53 dust and splash resistance, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, 5G, and dual-band Wi-Fi.
