The Poco F series has carved a niche for itself in the smartphone market, offering flagship-level performance at a competitive price. The Poco F6 has been a topic of speculation for quite some time and is expected to be the next contender in this lineage.
While Poco themselves haven’t officially confirmed anything, leaks and speculations suggest it might be a rebranded version of the recently launched Redmi Turbo 3 for the global market. So, based on available information, let’s delve into what we can expect from the Poco F6.
1. Design and Display
While details about the design of the Poco F6 are scarce, it may borrow a few design elements from the Redmi Turbo 3 such as a plastic back with a matte finish.
As for the display, we can expect the phone to feature a high refresh rate panel, possibly up to 120Hz. And although specifics like display size and technology remain uncertain, an AMOLED panel, like its predecessor, seems likely.
2. Performance
A report last month hinted that the Poco F6 will pack the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, the same as the Redmi Turbo 3. It may offer memory configurations of 8GB, 12GB or even 16GB, with storage options ranging from 128GB to 512GB.
Moreover, we can expect the smartphone to launch with Android 14 pre-installed, the latest version of the Android operating system. On top of that, it will likely feature Xiaomi’s custom user interface, HyperOS 1.0.
Camera-wise, leaks so far suggest a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor for the main camera, accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and an OmniVision OV20B40 camera for macro shots.
However, there are also rumors that hint at a dual-camera setup for the Poco F6, which will be more in line with the Redmi Turbo 3. To recap, the latter has a 50MP main and an 8MP ultrawide sensor on the back.
As for specifics like the batter or charging of the Poco F6, there’s no solid information available yet. If the rebranding theory holds, though, we can expect a 5000mAh battery with 90W fast charging support.
3. Poco F6 Deadpool Edition
Interestingly, there also seems to be a Poco F6 Deadpool Edition in the works. Evidence of this recently surfaced on the HyperOS codebase, where there’s a mention of a Poco F6 Deadpool Edition.
Details about this special edition are scarce at the moment. However, we can expect a unique design tailored to match Deadpool’s aesthetics, possibly extending to the software as well.
Marvel’s Deadpool and Wolverine is set to debut on July 26, which aligns with the rumored timeframe for the Poco F6. This suggests that the Deadpool Edition could launch alongside the standard Poco F6. Nevertheless, its specifications are expected to be similar to the standard model.
4. Price
As of now, there’s no official word on the pricing or availability of the Poco F6. However, considering Poco’s reputation for offering competitive prices, we can expect Poco F6 to be priced competitively as well.
The global launch timeframe also remains unclear, but as mentioned earlier, rumors suggest it might be unveiled sometime in July.
