POCO X6 5G to be a rebranded version of Redmi Note 13 (update: 25/09)
In September 2023, Xiaomi officially unveiled the Redmi Note 13 series in China. These latest products are expected to be introduced globally under the brand names Redmi and POCO. According to leaks from Gizmochina, one of the devices in the Redmi Note 13 Series will be introduced as the POCO X6 5G.

Specifically, a new POCO smartphone with two model numbers 2312DRAF3G (global) and 2312DRAF3I (India) has just been discovered on the IMEI database. Based on the first four letters of the model number, many believe the device will be launched in December or later.

POCO X6 5G is also said to have the codename iron_p, similar to the gold codename of the Redmi Note 13. The MIUI interface code reveals that POCO X6 5G will have a 64 MP main camera instead of the 108 MP on the Redmi Note 13. This suggests that POCO X6 5G could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 13R Pro.

Until now, the Redmi Note 13R Pro, expected to launch in India, is rumored to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 13 in China. This device is also expected to be renamed as POCO X6 5G for the international market.
Article details: Revealing information about POCO X6 5G: Will be a rebranded version of Redmi Note 13.
Powerful Configuration of POCO X6 5G with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1
According to information found on the 91Mobiles website, POCO X6 5G will feature the powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor from Qualcomm. This processor is manufactured on a 4nm process, with four Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and four Cortex-A510 cores. The Adreno 662 GPU provides performance 20% faster than the previous generation. It's evident that this is a potent processor, although its usage is limited, making it challenging to accurately assess its capabilities.

Only the Xiaomi CIVI 2 has been equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 so far, and I've also provided a performance review that you can refer to here. After reading it, you'll see that the power of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 on Xiaomi CIVI 2 has been somewhat restricted, making it challenging to accurately assess its performance. Therefore, I hope that when POCO X6 5G is released, the device can unleash the full power of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, giving us the most accurate view of this processor.

Moreover, 91Mobiles predicts that POCO X6 5G will also feature 6 GB of RAM, enabling smooth handling of tasks, even heavy ones like gaming. Additionally, POCO X6 5G will come with 128 GB of internal storage, coupled with the ability to expand storage space up to 512 GB with a MicroSD card, allowing you to store personal data seamlessly.

The same source also reveals that POCO X6 5G will draw power from a massive 6,000 mAh battery, a notably large figure in today's smartphone market. This ensures the device can serve us throughout extended workdays or even more, depending on individual work needs.
Let's summarize all the configuration details of POCO X6 5G based on the leaked information below for your quick grasp:
- Display: 6.67 inches, IPS LCD panel, Full HD+ resolution.
- CPU: Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
- RAM: 6 GB.
- ROM: 128 GB.
- Rear Cameras: 64 MP + 8 MP + 5 MP + 2 MP.
- Front Camera: 16 MP.
- Battery: 6,000 mAh, supports fast charging.

What's new with POCO X6 5G? A 6.67-inch display and a 64 MP camera
According to 91Mobiles predictions, POCO X6 5G is expected to feature a display utilizing a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel with Full HD+ resolution (1,080 x 2,400 pixels). These are familiar and reliable specs, ensuring quality imaging. However, the question remains about the refresh rate. In my opinion, it will likely be at 90 Hz - 120 Hz, as is common in most mid-range devices.

Additionally, according to the predictions of the mentioned source, POCO X6 5G might see an upgrade in the camera department with 4 sensors on the rear, boasting resolutions of 64 MP + 8 MP + 5 MP + 2 MP. Although the specific features of each lens are not explicitly mentioned, based on the predecessor POCO X series, it's likely that POCO will introduce a telephoto lens in the next generation to enhance the device's zoom capabilities and elevate users' photography experience.

Additionally, the source predicts that POCO X6 5G will integrate a 16 MP front-facing camera, a respectable resolution within its price segment, capable of meeting the selfie needs of users for captivating photos.
