Poco has launched a handful of members in its M6 series. So far there have been a 4G, a 5G, a Pro 4G, and a Pro 5G variants. Now the company has introduced yet another member to the series that will sit above them all! Let's discuss the Poco M6 Plus 5G in further detail along with its expected price in Nepal.
On the front, you are looking at a 6.79-inch display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Poco does not mention what type of panel has been used on the M6 Plus 5G. However, the lack of an in-display fingerprint sensor hints that it is an LCD panel. Regardless, it offers an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz, a touch sampling rate of up to 240Hz, and 550 nits peak brightness.
Other than that, the phone is available in two RAM options: 6GB and 8GB. It does allow you to virtually extend the memory by an additional 8GB. In the meantime, the Poco M6 Plus 5G only comes with 128GB internal storage out of the box. It also supports a MicroSD card of up to 1TB capacity. The phone boots on HyperOS with up to two years of software and four years of promised security updates.
Talking of the battery, this phone packs a 5,030 mAh unit and supports up to 33W fast charging speed. As the name suggests, it comes with 5G cellular support on both its SIMs. In addition, the Poco M6 Plus 5G also offers wireless connectivity via dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth v5.0. It comes with some novelty features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and an IR blaster too.
Poco M6 Plus 5G Overview
Design and Display
The Poco M6 Plus 5G comes in a flat design with a dual-tone finish. It also boasts an IP53 water and dust resistance. The phone comes in a glass on the front as well as the back. It is available in three colours: Graphite Black, Ice Silver, and Misty Lavender.Performance
For the performance, the Poco M6 Plus 5G taps into the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 Accelerated Edition. This Qualcomm chip is pretty much the same as the base model, except for its higher peak clock speed. Given that, the processor comes in 4nm fabbing, eight cores, and clocks in at a maximum of 2.3GHz. For reference, the Poco M6 Pro 5G had the regular Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 which caps out at 2.2GHz.- You may also like:
