Chinese smartphone brand Poco has launched its affordable X6 and premium X6 Pro models in India, taking on competing phones from Realme, Samsung and others in the sub-Rs 25,000 segment.
The Poco X6 lineup stands out with high-end specifications usually seen in more expensive phones, available at lower prices. Both models feature beautiful 6.67-inch AMOLED displays with slim bezels all around and 120Hz refresh rates for smooth scrolling and animations.
Powering the Poco X6 is Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 processor based on 4nm manufacturing for improved efficiency. The Poco X6 Pro steps it up further with MediaTek’s flagship-class Dimensity 8100 Ultra 5G chip fabricated using TSMC’s advanced 5nm process. Combined with up to 12GB RAM, the hardware delivers snappy, stutter-free performance.
Triple rear cameras adorn both devices, with the X6 Pro offering better optical stabilization during photography and videography courtesy of its 64MP OIS primary sensor. Large 5,000mAh batteries keep the lights on, supporting fast 67W charging from 0 to 100% in under 45 minutes. Latest connectivity options like 5G and Wi-Fi 6 are present as well.
