Here’s why you should always buy POCO from Flipkart

For those unaware, Flipkart is the only seller that is authorized by the Chinese brand. This means that this is the only online channel through which you should buy POCO products like its smartphone for earbuds. Even when you head to the official website of the company, the “Where to buy” section simply directs you to the official Flipkart listing rather than a store of their own. Simply put, POCO is a Flipkart exclusive.

You might be wondering if you have seen POCO smartphones and other products on Amazon as well. But it is worth noting that these are simply resellers. In other words, these are not official sellers and are third party groups/sellers that list the brand’s gadgets. While there are plenty of trustworthy Amazon sellers, there is always an inherent risk with deals that could be too good to be true.

When purchasing from platforms outside of Flipkart, like the aforementioned Amazon resellers, there are issues with the warranty as well. While claiming your warranty, there have been instances of people having their warranty denied due to unofficial resellers on other platforms. It is recommended to buy from Flipkart. Just recently, the POCO F6 went on sale in India with a special 1+1 year warranty deal. So why look elsewhere?

Smartphone makers bring special deals and discounts to their devices every now and then. Meaning, you can get your hands on phones for cheaper on sales days or during those special holiday deals. These are again an official offer from brands and even POCO lists its smartphones with bank offers and discount coupons. Keep in mind, that these are again official and not something offered by a reseller.

Another great reason to only buy from Flipkart is due to the first sales. An example is the newly unveiled POCO F6. It was announced last month and went on sale on 29th May 2024. This budget flagship model was listed on the sale date and was ready to purchase with bank offers and an exchange bonus worth up to 29,000 INR (which is also the POCO F6’s starting price). Other platforms or sellers usually take some time to list newly launched phones on other websites. The only other channel for POCO devices is through offline retailers. The company also launched its first ever offline sales and service outlet in Kolkata, India earlier this year.
