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

POCO M6 Pro 5G India launch date details

POCO M6 Pro 5G will launch in India on August 5th at 12 PM IST, the brand confirmed on Twitter. There is a dedicated microsite on Flipkart but the listing doesn't include any hardware specifications at the moment. There are chances the handset will go on sale on the same date as a part of the Flipkart Big Saving Days sale.

As said, the POCO M6 Pro 5G is expected to be a rebrand of the Redmi Note 12R. This speculation is further backed by a recent Geekbench listing of the POCO M6 Pro 5G, which showed the same Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset. We will know for certain whether the POCO M6 Pro is a rebrand or not when it launches later this week. Until then, here's a quick look at the Redmi Note 12R specifications.
