POCO Unleashes Power-Packed Duo: Introducing POCO X6 and X6 Pro
POCO has just concluded its latest launch event, revealing the newest additions to the highly anticipated POCO X-series. The spotlight is on the POCO X6, a sibling to the Redmi Note 13 Pro, sporting a familiar design but stepping up the camera game with a 64MP shooter and the impressive Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip. This marks a significant leap from the previous POCO X5 and its Snapdragon 695.
Dynamic Duo: POCO X6 and X6 Pro
The POCO X6 Pro, on the other hand, is a rebranded version of the Redmi K70E, opting for MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset and slightly slower 67W charging compared to the K70E’s 90W speeds.
Both devices boast 6.67-inch AMOLED displays with a crisp 1,220 x 2,712px resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and an impressive peak brightness of up to 1,800 nits. They share a 16MP front-facing camera tucked into a punch-hole cutout and in-display fingerprint scanners, marking a first for POCO smartphones.
The POCO X6’s 64MP main camera offers 2x lossless in-sensor zoom and features OIS. Accompanying it are an 8MP ultrawide module and a 2MP macro lens. While the POCO X6 Pro runs on Xiaomi HyperOS based on Android 14, the X6 initially launches with the older MIUI 14 but is promised to receive an update to HyperOS soon. POCO guarantees 3 Android updates and 4 years of security patches for both X6 models.
The POCO X6 Pro is equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery supporting 67W charging, while the X6 boasts a slightly larger 5,100 mAh battery with the same 67W charging speeds. The POCO X6 offers color options in black, white, and blue, while the POCO X6 Pro comes in black, grey, and the signature POCO yellow.
The POCO X6 is priced at RM1,058 for the 8/256GB model and goes up to RM1,358 for the 12/512GB variant. International pricing starts at $249 and goes up to $319 for the same storage configurations. The Pro model on the other hand starts at RM1,349 for the 8/256GB version and tops out at RM1,549 for the 12/512GB model. International pricing starts at $299 and goes up to $369.
