POCO’s promotional banner on the Flipkart mobile app revealed the POCO X6 and X6 Pro’s official launch date to beJanuary 11, 2024. The landing page seems to have been accidentally published a few hours earlier, confirming the date. It has now been changed and displays only the trailer. POCO has yet to confirm the launch date. So yeah, not a great way to start your year, Flipkart.Image Courtesy: Flipkart
