Poco has officially confirmed the launch of its upcoming Poco F6 smartphone in India. Scheduled for May 23rd, the phone will be the first in the country to boast the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 shares many aspects of its architecture with the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This includes the same Image Signal Processor (ISP), display, memory, and modem architecture. It also utilizes the same powerful Kryo “X4” core and is built on the same 4nm TSMC fabrication process.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 also supports a staggering 10 billion parameters and supports features like multi-modal generative AI and compatibility with various large language models (LLMs) including Baichuan-7B, Llama 2, and even Gemini Nano.
In terms of raw performance, Poco claims the F6 achieves an impressive score of over 1.5 million points on the AnTuTu benchmark.
The smartphone will be a direct competitor to the upcoming Realme GT 6T which is also launching in India next week with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC and a similar AnTuTu score of 1.5 million.
Rumors suggest the Poco F6 might be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 3 launched in China last month. If true, we can expect a 6.67-inch 1.5K resolution OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
The camera department could feature a primary 50MP sensor (likely the Sony IMX-600) alongside an 8MP ultrawide sensor. Powering the device will likely be a 5000mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging.
