Xiaomi seems to have accidentally let slip some updates for the Poco F6 Pro, even though the phone hasn’t been officially announced yet. As reported by GSMArena, these updates reveal the phone’s codename as “Vermeer,” which is also the model name for the Redmi K70 Chinese model.

Xiaomi typically avoids reusing codenames for different devices. However, it seems they’ve taken a slightly lazy approach with the Poco F6 Pro. Nevertheless, this connection suggests that the Poco F6 Pro is essentially a rebranded version of the Redmi K70.

If the connection holds true, the Poco F6 Pro will pack some impressive specs. The phone is expected to feature a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It made its appearance on Geekbench with the same SoC and 16GB of RAM. 

Rebranding Redmi phones isn’t a new strategy for Poco. It recently launched the Poco X6 Pro, which borrowed heavily from the Redmi K70E. However, the X6 Pro made some compromises, including a smaller battery and slower charging compared to the K70E.

Fortunately, it seems the Poco F6 Pro won’t face similar limitations. The leaked information suggests the phone will sport a large 6.67-inch OLED display with a sharp QHD+ resolution. 

On the back, we can expect a camera system headlined by a 50MP main sensor. And for quick charging, the phone is rumored to support up to 120W fast charging.

A leak earlier this week revealed that Poco might launch the F6 Pro smartphone globally in June. So there’s still some time left for the phone to make it into the mass market. We’ll make sure to keep you informed about any new details that emerge regarding the device.
