There is no reason not to own a smartphone especially when Poco exists. Why? Because it is ridiculously affordable. Poco has one of the most affordable phones from a big brand (Xiaomi) in the world. Sure, there are budgets from other big names but they are not truly budgets. We are talking about sub-400 dollars for a full feature with the latest mid-range chip.
The Poco X6 Pro and X6, and the M6 Pro announced earlier this year are examples of truly affordable phones backed by a big name. There are a lot of grounds to be covered here, so I use the most logical way to present the key specs of these devices:
POCO X6 Pro
- Processor: Dimensity 8300-Ultra chipset with an AnTuTu benchmark of 1,464,228.
- Memory and Storage: Up to 12GB RAM and 512GB ROM.
- Display: 6.67″ CrystalRes Flow AMOLED screen, high screen-to-body ratio of 94%.
- Camera: 64MP triple camera with OIS, Motion capture, and Motion tracking features.
- Battery: Long-lasting, suitable for extensive gaming sessions.
POCO X6
- Processor: Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 Mobile Platform.
- Memory and Storage: Enhanced memory and storage options.
- Display: 6.67″ AMOLED screen.
- Camera: 64MP main camera with OIS, 8MP ultra-wide lens, 2MP macro camera.
- Battery: 5100mAh with 67W turbocharging, full charge in 44 minutes.
POCO M6 Pro
- Display: 120Hz Flow AMOLED screen with ultra-thin bezels.
- Processor: Helio G99-Ultra chipset.
- Memory and Storage: Up to 12GB RAM and 512GB ROM.
- Camera: 64MP triple camera with OIS and EIS, 2x in-sensor zoom.

Poco is eyeing the Gen Z with these devices which offer flagship(ish)-level performance and features at affordable prices. Speaking of pricing, the Poco X6 Pro starts at just US$299 while the X6 starts at just US$249. The Poco M6 Pro is even more affordable starting at US$199. The most expensive of the three in their top configuration barely touches 400 bucks; it’s at US$369 for the 12+512 GB Poco X6 Pro.
