After a lot of teasers, Xiaomi officially unveiled the POCO F6 to the global market. The new Android smartphone comes with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is the latest high-end SoC from the company. While it’s not as top performing as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the new SoC is positioned right below it and aims to power affordable flagship devices.
Speaking of which, while the POCO F6 has flagship specs, the price tag is well below the current high-end Android phones. The starting price of the smartphone is $380, with the early buyers having the chance to score it at $340. At this price tag, it stands as a much better option than most of the upper mid-range options.
