After the global launch of the X6 series last January, POCO added one more model to the series with the Neo variant, which makes its debut in India. The new budget device comes with 5G connectivity, along with a Martian Orange color that has a gold shade.

While it is the first Neo phone in the POCO lineup, the X6 Neo is 5G-ready with its use of a Dimensity 6080 processor that’s paired with up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB storage. You also get a familiar 6.67-inch 120hz OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution that’s found on other POCO phones.
You are getting a basic set of cameras that include a 16-megapixel selfie shooter, a 108-megapixel main camera with 3x in-sensor zoom (we presume that it uses an ISOCELL HM6 sensor), and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. You get a 5000mAh battery with 33w charging, and it comes with Android 13 out of the box–which is a strange decision since the POCO X6 Pro came with Android 14-based HyperOS out of the box. You are also relegated to a single-speaker setup, which explains that the POCO X6 Neo is more of a budget phone.
The X6 Neo starts at INR 15,999(~Php 11k) for the 8GB/128GB model and INR 17,999(~Php 12k) for the 12GB/256GB model. While we did get the X6 Pro and X6 in the Philippines, it remains to be seen if POCO plans to bring over the X6 Neo to our shores as well.
