The POCO X series has been quite stale for the last couple of years. While 2023’s X5 Pro was a decent offering with a Snapdragon 778G chipset and a 108MP primary camera, the Snapdragon 695-powered vanilla X5 5G model was hard to get excited about. This year, things are sure to change as both of these lower-mid rangers are getting some powerful hardware.

POCO X6 5G TDRA

The launch timeline of the POCO X6 series is currently unknown, however, the smartphones have cleared many regional certifications that suggest it might happen sooner rather than later. The latest certification picked up by the POCO X6 5G is the UAE’s TDRA, with model number “23122PCD1G”. Interestingly enough, tipster and developer Kacper Skrzypek has previously claimed that this model number will be a rebrand of the Chinese Redmi Note 13 Pro. That being said, the X6 Pro may replace the 200MP primary camera sensor with a 64MP OV64B40 sensor.

Redmi Note 13 Pro

The rest of the specifications are expected to be the same as the Redmi Note 13 Pro. So here’s what you can expect.

POCO X6 5G specs

The POCO X6 5G smartphone is expected to include a 6.67-inch flat AMOLED screen with a 1.5K display resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen could feature Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

Under the hood, it might feature a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, accompanied by multiple storage and RAM options. On the software front, it will have an Android 13-based MIUI 14 for POCO. A large 5,100mAh battery is also expected with 67W fast charging.

For optics, the phone might come with a 64MP primary camera paired with a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP third unit. It will likely feature an X-axis linear motor, NFC, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.3, and 5G connectivity.

We would like to point out that these specs are based on the assumption that we get a 1:1 rebrand of the China model (except for the primary camera). It is also possible that POCO decides to cut down on some other specifications as well to keep the cost down.
