We had been hearing about the Poco F6 — which might feature a brand-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. Now its “Pro” variant has made its appearance with a certification from a Thai regulatory agency! Let’s discuss the upcoming Poco F6 Pro further in this article.
Poco F6 Pro Rumours Round-up
Certifications
The Poco F6 Pro has now been certified by NBTC in Thailand. It can be seen bearing the model number “2311RKC6G”. The upcoming Poco phone is rumoured to be a repackaging of the Redmi K70 that launched near the end of last year.
Design and Display
Just as we mentioned earlier, the Poco F6 Pro is simply a Redmi K70 rebrand. Given that, it will have the same design language with a large rectangular camera island that spans the entire width of the phone.
On the front, the phone will have a 6.67-inch screen with an OLED panel. The screen is rumoured to boast a 2K resolution spanning 3,200 x 1,440 pixels. Moreover, it might come with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2,160Hz touch sampling rate, and 3,840Hz PWM dimming. Additionally, the panel featured here will probably be from TCL and can reach a brightness of up to 4,000 nits.
Performance
For performance, the Poco F6 Pro will come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 just like the Redmi K70. It is Qualcomm’s flagship chipset from last year i.e. 2023. Anyway, this silicon comes with a four-nanometre fabrication with a prime Cortex-X3 core at the clock speed of 3.2 GHz, tow Cortex-A175 cores at 2.8 GHz, two Cortex-A710 at 2.8 GHz, and three Cortex-A510 cores running at 2.0 GHz.
Other than that, it will likely come with up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM coupled with up to 512GB storage. The phone will ship with their in-house HyperOS on the software end.
