The POCO F6 was announced in India and the global markets back in May 2024. This is the brand’s latest affordable flagship device which features some top notch specs and features. It is currently on sale for a limited discount in India, but is it worth buying right now or should you wait for the special Deadpool Limited Edition?
1. What makes the POCO F6 special?
The Chinese smartphone maker was announced with a starting price tag of 29,999 INR. For under 400 US Dollars, it brings high end specs like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. This processor is quite capable and is often seen in the flagship killer category. This chip is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
A large 5,000mAH battery pack powers this device, which supports 90W wired fast charging. The rear packed a 50-megapixel dual camera setup, while the front has a 20-megapixel selfie shooter. So despite its relatively affordable pricing, it has some impressive features.
2. POCO F6 Deadpool Edition
Just earlier today (24th July 2024), POCO announced that it would unveil the POCO F6 Deadpool Limited Edition in India on July 26. But ahead of the official announcement, a leak also offered us a look at this device. As the name suggests, the special edition is inspired by the iconic Deadpool character from Marvel.
The comic book character will appear in a new movie, so this is likely a promo collaboration. Looking at the leak, we can see the unique design of the POCO F6 with fresh red color and Deadpool on the LED flash module. Being a limited edition with a new design is what makes the POCO F6 Deadpool Edition special.
3. Is the discounted POCO F6 a better deal?
While the POCO F6 launched with a starting price tag of 29,999 INR, it is currently on sale for 27,999 INR. This discount isn’t limited to the base 8GB + 256GB option, but also the other two variants as well. Apart from the 2,000 INR off, there are also additional bank offers for the three options.
However, this sale is only available till tomorrow night. The Deadpool edition will likely launch for the original price tag or a lone 12GB + 512GB option. So the current deal on the regular POCO F6 is a better deal in my opinion. The new color hue and slight changes in design don’t seem worth it unless you’re a big Marvel fan.
