POCO X6 and X6 Pro Launched in India; Here Are the Specs and Pricing!

POCO’s first launch of the year, thePOCO X6 series, is here, and it brings a lot of improvements compared to its predecessor. The series consists of two devices— the POCO X6 and the POCO X6 Pro, aimed at the mid-range and upper mid-range market. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest POCO devices.

For those unaware, the POCO X6 is essentially a rebranded Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, whichlanded in Indialast week, whereas the POCO X6 Pro is a rebranded Redmi K70E.

POCO X6 and X6 Pro Display

Both phones boast the same6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED panelswith 120Hz refresh rates and 20:9 aspect ratios. The only difference is that the display on the X6 Pro is Dolby Vision certified and is an HDR10+ display with a peak brightness capability of 1800 nits.

On paper, you should not be able to distinguish between them unless you watch HDR content or go out in bright sunlight.

Performance

The regular POCO X6 features the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, while the X6 Pro comes equipped with Dimensity 8300 Ultra. The performance of the 7s Gen 2 is quite similar to the previous year’sSnapdragon 7 Gen 1, if not a little lower. You also get up to 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage space.

The Dimensity 8300 Ultra on the Pro’s performance fits somewhere between theSnapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, at least on paper. Hence, considering the X6 series is a mid-range offering, the performance per rupee is really high here.

Cameras

Both the POCO X6 and X6 Pro feature the same camera setup – a64 MP primarycamera, which could be the ISOCELL GW3 sensor, with OIS support. The secondary camera is an 8 MP ultra-wide angle lens, while the third is a 2 MP macro sensor. Camera performance should be decent, although you should stay tuned for our in-depth review once the devices reach the Beebom offices.

Battery and Charging

The POCO X6 gets a 5,100 mAh battery, capable of charging at 33W, whereas the higher-end Pro model gets a slightly smaller 5,000 mAh battery capable ofcharging at 67W. Charging speed is one of the biggest differences that sets both devices apart.
