Xiaomi has been one of the fastest growing smartphone manufacturers in India over the past 18 months, becoming the biggest smartphone brand in the process. It managed to capture a large chunk of the market with its Redmi series by offering powerful hardware at affordable prices. While the lower end of the market welcomed Xiaomi smartphones, the higher end still preferred established brands such as Samsung and OnePlus. Premium Xiaomi phones haven't done well in India, and the Chinese manufacturer hasn't launched a flagship phone in the country since the Mi 5 (Review). Xiaomi says that the new Poco sub-brand lets it start with a clean slate, without being burdened by the expectations that people have based on its other products.

Killer Gaming Rig

Dilpreet Sidhu (Apr 9, 2019) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

Performance is unmatchable, battery backup is great, After using 2 months I found it is one of the best. I'm playing PUBG HDR with Ultra Framerate & it runs perfectly for 3-4hrs without lagging even connected with charger.
