Let's look at the highlights of the phone
The POCO M6 5G has a standard waterdrop notch-style front and a power button-embedded fingerprint reader. The device sports a 6.74-inch HD+ (720x1650 pixels) LCD panel, with a 90Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It is equipped with a 50MP main and an unspecified secondary camera. For selfies and video calling, it gets a 5MP front camera.
It is powered by Dimensity 6100+ chip
The POCO M6 5G is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 6100+ SoC processor. It runs on MIUI 14, based on Android 13. Under the hood, the phone has a 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging support via a Type-C port. However, the bundled charger supports 10W. In terms of connectivity, it gets dual-SIM support, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Should you consider the POCO M6 5G?
POCO maintains its top-selling status in the budget category. Despite the return of Indian brands and the entry of some competitors, POCO's sales remain largely unaffected. POCO smartphones usually offer a large screen experience, decent camera performance, above-average processing power, and long-lasting battery life, at an affordable price point. For those seeking a 5G phone under Rs. 10,000, the POCO M6 5G is a good option to consider.
