POCO M6 5G India launch date revealed, Flipkart availability confirmed

POCO M6 5G India launch date

• The POCO M6 5G teaser image confirms the phone will be sold exclusively via Flipkart, much like other POCO phones. 

• The poster shows the POCO M6 5G will be available in purple colour, but there could be other options at launch.
• There is a large camera island on the back panel, with two circular rings and a large POCO branding.
• The phone has a boxy chassis and flat edges. 
• The handset will succeed the POCO M5 and will sit right below the POCO M6 Pro 5G, which is already available in the country.

There are rumours that POCO M6 5G will be a rebrand of the Redmi 13C 5G (which launched in India recently) as they both share a similar design. The Redmi 13C 5G price in India is Rs 10,999 for the 4GB+128GB model, Rs 12,499 for the 6GB+128GB variant and Rs 14,999 for the 8GB+256GB version. We believe the POCO M6 5G's price might start at around the same range.
