POCO is set to launch the M6 Plus in India today, August 1st, adding to its M-series lineup which includes the POCO M6 and M6 Pro.

The company has been gradually revealing details about the new device, and now the full specifications and features have been confirmed via the phone's microsite on Flipkart.

Design and Display

Standing out with a unique dual-sided glass design (a first for its segment), the M6 Plus boasts a sleek and modern look. It's also slim at just 8.32mm and comes in three attractive colors: Misty Lavender, Ice Silver, and Graphite Black.

The device features a 6.79-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, providing a smooth and responsive user experience. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, ensuring durability against everyday wear and tear.

Performance

The M6 Plus is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 AE (Accelerated Edition) chipset, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and expandable virtual RAM support. This combination ensures decent performance for everyday tasks. The phone also runs on the latest Android 14 with Poco's custom HyperOS skin on top.

The camera setup on the POCO M6 Plus is a significant upgrade over its predecessors. It features a 108MP dual-camera system on the rear with 3x in-sensor zoom, allowing for high-quality photography with detailed zoom capabilities.
