The Poco M5 4G smartphone’s India launch could be right around the corner. The handset will reportedly carry a reasonable price tag. Poco is prepping to launch a new M-series smartphone dubbed the M5 4G for the Indian market. Industry sources have confirmed to 91mobiles that the Poco M5 4G India launch will take place in early September. Notably, the Poco M5 4G will be the first M5 series smartphone to hit the store shelves in the country.

Further, the report suggests that the M5 4G will pack the MediaTek Helio G99, which is a gaming-centric processor. To recap, Poco launched the 5G-ready M4 variant in India back in April.

So, the alleged M-series smartphone could succeed the Poco M4 Pro, which went on its first sale in India in March.
