Poco and Redmi are two sub-brands from Xiaomi that cater to the non-premium segment, offering value-for-money handsets with a good amount of features at an affordable price point.

Poco M8 5G Summary

At a price tag of Rs. 18,999, the Poco M8 5G is a well-rounded smartphone that's more about delivering on the basics than on fancy features.
