The 3K discount makes the deal sweeter.
By looking at the portfolio of Poco smartphones, one can easily say that almost 50% of the handsets are more affordable now. Some might even argue that these handsets were cheaper during Amazon and Flipkart sale. However, it is to be noted that those discounts were taken after bank offers.
Moreover, it is to be noted that the POCO, Redmi, and Mi are all the brands under Xiaomi. Some plus and some minus (aka rebranding) seem to be a regular practice with Xiaomi. Leaving it aside, the poco handsets are online exclusive.
