In recent days, there has been a flurry of rumors surrounding the much-anticipated POCO F6, with leaked specifications shedding light on the potential improvements over its predecessor, the POCO F5. The GSMChina team has managed to uncover some key details about the device, including the use of Qualcomm’s powerful SM8635 SOC.
POCO F5 boasted a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SOC,
essentially a refurbished SM8475, which was a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
Renowned for delivering an exceptional gaming experience and enhanced imaging
capabilities, the SM8475 left users impressed. Now, the POCO F6 is expected to
take a step further by incorporating the yet-to-be-officially-announced SM8635
SOC. The official unveiling of the SM8635 is anticipated on March 18, and POCO
F6 series is expected to launch in April.
Leaked information indicates that POCO F6
has made its mark in the IMEI Database, unveiling model numbers “24069PC21G”
for the global version and “24069PC21I” for the Indian version. Notably, the
POCO F6 is expected to be available in various regions, excluding Japan. An
interesting twist lies in the expectation that Redmi Note 13 Turbo will precede
POCO F6’s release, set to be introduced in the Chinese market with the model
number “24069RA21C“. POCO F6 is speculated to be a rebranded version of the
Redmi Note 13 Turbo.
Furthermore, the codename for the POCO F6
has been revealed as “Peridot.” Drawing inspiration from the yellow ruby, also
known as Zebercet, Peridot is a type of olivine mineral with the intriguing
alternative name of “snake stone.” This codenaming tradition aligns with Redmi
Note series devices, which are typically named after gemstones.
While expectations are mounting for POCO
F6 to be officially unveiled in April, it’s worth noting that these launch
dates are not official information, but estimates provided by industry
insiders. As March progresses, Redmi Note 13 Turbo is expected to make its
debut, setting the stage for the unveiling of POCO F6.
