A Twitter tipster claims that with the INR 17,999 amount, customers will be able to pick the high-tier variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of Internal Storage. This is the typically higher box price. Companies tend to launch their smartphones at a lower price, so we’ll need to wait a little more to see. Worth, noting that POCO also has a variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of Internal Storage. This one will certainly be cheaper than the high-tier one.
For a quick comparison, the POCO M3 Pro was launched in Europe with a starting price of 179 Euros. The high-tier version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB Storage comes with a price tag of 199 Euros. Considering this, it’s safe to assume that the basic model will be around INR 15,000 in India. Of course, the better option is to wait and see if POCO Will reaches this price tag in India.
