Poco F6: Details of Xiaomi's next-gen flagship killer revealed in new leak

While the Poco X6 series is set to launch globally this week, the more popular and premium Poco F6 still looks to be quite a ways off, with a new leak now providing some insight into when the next-gen sub-premium phone will arrive, and some of its specs.

As revealed by leaker Kartikey Singh, the Poco F6 is months away. Five months away, to be exact, which would indicate a global launch event in June or thereabouts. The Poco F5 debuted in May last year, for example. Supposedly, the Poco F6 will arrive on global markets as a rebadge of the Redmi Note 13 Turbo—which is, in turn, expected to launch a month earlier in China.

While the leak fails to detail the smartphone, it does claim the presence of a Snapdragon 8-series SoC beneath the hood, and an AnTuTu total score north of 1.5 million. Said chipset could be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, or maybe even the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Last year's Poco F5 featured the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 which performs in the same ballpark as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, so a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 would represent a solid generational performance upgrade. Other touted specs include UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5X RAM—again emphasizing the Poco F6's performance levels, and a 1.5K display with narrow bezels.
