In the recent announcement of POCO India’s X6 Neo, Himanshu Tandon indirectly criticized Realme’s 12 5G for its price and features on social media.
According to Tandon, for Rs 17,000, features like the Dimensity 6100+ SoC and LCD screen (found in some competitors) aren’t the best value. POCO’s M6 5G uses a MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor as well, suggesting that POCO aims to deliver more for less.
In the Indian market, the POCO X6 Neo has already received BIS certification, indicating its readiness. The design of this device has already been revealed in a leak. According to reports, it will look very similar to the Redmi Note 13R Pro and be priced under INR 16,000 at launch. It is expected to arrive in India sometime next week.
