In recent days, there has been a flurry of rumors surrounding the much-anticipated POCO F6, with leaked specifications shedding light on the potential improvements over its predecessor, the POCO F5.

POCO F5 boasted a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SOC, essentially a refurbished SM8475, which was a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Renowned for delivering an exceptional gaming experience and enhanced imaging capabilities, the SM8475 left users impressed. Now, the POCO F6 is expected to take a step further by incorporating the yet-to-be-officially-announced SM8635 SOC. The official unveiling of the SM8635 is anticipated on March 18, and POCO F6 series is expected to launch in April.

Leaked information indicates that POCO F6 has made its mark in the IMEI Database, unveiling model numbers “24069PC21G” for the global version and “24069PC21I” for the Indian version. Notably, the POCO F6 is expected to be available in various regions, excluding Japan. An interesting twist lies in the expectation that Redmi Note 13 Turbo will precede POCO F6’s release, set to be introduced in the Chinese market with the model number “24069RA21C“. POCO F6 is speculated to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 13 Turbo.

Furthermore, the codename for the POCO F6 has been revealed as “Peridot.” Drawing inspiration from the yellow ruby, also known as Zebercet, Peridot is a type of olivine mineral with the intriguing alternative name of “snake stone.” This codenaming tradition aligns with Redmi Note series devices, which are typically named after gemstones.

While expectations are mounting for POCO F6 to be officially unveiled in April, it’s worth noting that these launch dates are not official information, but estimates provided by industry insiders. As March progresses, Redmi Note 13 Turbo is expected to make its debut, setting the stage for the unveiling of POCO F6.
