The Poco M6 makes its grand entrance in India, sharing the spotlight with the Oppo A59. Powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6100+ SoC, the Poco M6 boasts a dynamic performance coupled with 4/6/8GB of RAM, expandable by an additional 8GB through RAM expansion.
Poco M6 Unveiled in India:
The device features a spacious 6.74-inch 720×1,600 LCD screen with a smooth 90 Hz refresh rate and up to 600-nit peak brightness. Shielded by Gorilla Glass protection (though the specific version isn’t detailed), the Poco M6 offers a storage choice between 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, expandable via microSD. Dual-SIM functionality, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a convenient side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and a robust 5,000 mAh battery with 18W charging support further enhance its appeal.

Equipped with a 50 MP main rear camera, the Poco M6 is both dust and splash-resistant. Running on Android 13 with MIUI 14, it promises a seamless user experience. The inaugural sale is scheduled for December 26, offering color options of Galactic Black and Orion Blue.
Rebrand Revelation:
The Poco M6 appears to be more than just a new entrant; it seems to be a rebrand of the recently released Redmi 13C 5G, corroborating earlier rumors. While the design variations on the back showcase Poco’s unique brand touches, the specifications remain nearly identical.
