POCO M6 Pro launches as brand-first Snapdragon 4 Gen 2-powered Android smartphone
The Redmi 12 5G has only just debuted in India - yet has ostensibly proven such a hit (reportedly selling 300,000 units so far) that it is now no longer available to order until Amazon India can organize its "next sale". Fans of specs such as the new Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor with microSD card-expandable memory, a 3.5mm jack and an IR blaster are in luck, however, as the POCO M6 Pro launch has arrived just in time.
POCO's new "5G Disrupter" for the Indian market is also hyped as a 5,000mAh "all-weekend" battery smartphone - shame about the 18W charging that might take a chunk out of a following week-day, then. Nevertheless, this version of the Note 12R should appeal to fans of its new brand with a signature M-series window effect for its "50MP AI Dual Camera" hump.
It is picked out on Forest Green or Power Black rear panels, as opposed to the Crystal Design colorways of the 12 5G. Nevertheless, the M6 Pro starts at the same price-point: INR 10,999 (~US$133) for a 4GB RAM starting SKU, rising to INR 12,999 (~US$157) for the only other 6GB version, leaving the Redmi version of the same phone as the only one with an 8GB option.
Nevertheless, the Flipkart launch brings Indian consumers even more choice in new 6.79-inch display Android 13-capable smartphones.
