Impatient for the next Poco phone that’ll crush the competition? The Poco F6 has been swirling in rumors for weeks, spotted on certification sites hinting at an imminent India launch. While whispers suggest it’s a rebranded Redmi Note 13 Turbo, Poco remains tight-lipped. But a recent tease from a Poco official has thrown gasoline on the fire!
Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Powerhouse Incoming?
A senior Poco official, David Liu, took to social media (formerly known as Twitter) to tease an upcoming Poco phone. This powerhouse will be the first global phone sporting the blazing-fast Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC! Though the official remained coy about the phone’s name, speculation points towards the Poco F6, considering the online leaks and certifications.
Hold Your Horses on the Xiaomi Lookalike
David Liu mentioned the recently launched Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro in his post, which also boasts the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. However, experts believe the Poco phone won’t be a mere copycat – apart from the processor, these devices are likely to have distinct designs and features.
Rebranded Redmi or True Poco F6?
Earlier rumors suggested the Poco F6 might be a rebranded version of the upcoming Redmi Note 13 Turbo. While Redmi has officially teased a new series launch in China, the exact model name remains under wraps. Interestingly, the Redmi Note 13 Turbo is also expected to pack the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 punch, along with a gorgeous 6.78-inch 1.5K OLED display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. To keep you juiced up, a hefty 6,000mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging is rumored. The software side might see Android 14 with the custom HyperOS skin on top.
So, What’s the Real Deal?
With both Poco and Redmi keeping their cards close to their chests, the Poco F6’s identity remains shrouded in mystery. Here’s a breakdown of the possibilities:
- True Poco F6: Poco might be launching a phone specifically designed for the global market, featuring the powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and boasting unique Poco features.
- Rebranded Redmi Note 13 Turbo: The Poco F6 could be a slightly tweaked version of the Redmi Note 13 Turbo, catering to the Indian market with specific software or hardware modifications.
