Until today, the POCO X6 series comprised two smartphones—POCO X6 and POCO X6 Pro. Today this changes with a new smartphone in the lineup, the POCO X6 Neo. It has been released in India, which also marks its global debut. The smartphone is expected to come in more countries soon.
The POCO X6 Neo is the cheapest one in the lineup. This also means that the specifications are lowered to bring the price down. But still, the phone packs some eye-catching highlights that may attract people looking for a new phone in this budget. Below, we provide detailed information about the smartphone’s design, specifications, and pricing.
POCO X6 Neo Design
Our protagonist carries a similar design language compared to other recently released POCO smartphones. There is a huge rectangular island on the back of the device, carrying the cameras. While the frame is kept flat and it gives the device a sleek look. It has a thin 7.7mm chassis and measures 175g. Hence, the device is quite slim and lightweight. Talking about the colors, there are three options: Astral Black, Horizon Blue, and Martian Orange.
