Xiaomi sub-brand has POCO introduced a new budget phone, the POCO X6 Neo.
From what it looks like, the POCO X6 Neo — which was introduced in India — is a rebranded Redmi Note 13R Pro that launched in China back in November. That means it has the same MediaTek Dimensity 6080 octa-core processor, with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

It also has the same 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a high 120Hz refresh rate and 2160Hz touch sampling but with only a single speaker.
The battery has a standard capacity of 5,000mAh, paired with a 33W fast charger.

For the cameras, we have a 16-megapixel selfie snapper on the front, and a sharp 108-megapixel main camera on the rear, joined by a 2-megapixel depth sensor. No ultra-wide or macro lens.
Possibly the only main difference between the Redmi phone it was based on is the operating system, as this one runs on the latest Android 14-based HyperOS.

The POCO X6 Neo has a price of INR15,999 (~Php10,700) and INR17,999 (~Php12,000) for the 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB models, respectively. They will be available in India starting March 18, while release details in the Philippines are yet to be known.
