Xiaomi Poco M6
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until June 2027 · Buy-by June 2025
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Poco M6 should be supported until around June 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 1.0 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Street price ÷ months of safe use remaining — the number that makes cheap short-lived phones expensive, and well-supported ones cheap.

Our verdict
A budget FHD+ phone that pairs a 108MP camera headline with solid battery, if you can live with 4G-only and a basic chip.
Pros
- Sharp 6.79-inch FHD+ display, a step up from C-series
- 108MP main camera produces detailed daylight shots
- Faster 33W charging than most budget rivals
Cons
- 4G-only with no 5G connectivity
- Helio G91 Ultra is modest for gaming
