Anticipation for the POCO F6 series intensifies as the standard model joins the Pro variant in obtaining certification from Thailand’s NBTC. This development strongly suggests an imminent global launch for both devices.
NBTC Certification: A Sign of Impending Arrival
The POCO F6 appeared on the NBTC website with the model number “24069PC12G.” The concluding “G” signifies a global variant, aligning with expectations. However, the certification itself offers no specifics regarding the phone’s features or technical specifications.
Benchmark Insights and Rumored Rebranding
A recent Geekbench listing for the POCO F6 revealed a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and Android 14 as the operating system. The benchmark scores indicate a potential performance powerhouse, achieving 1844 points in the single-core test and 4799 points in the multi-core test.
Rumors suggest the POCO F6 might be a rebranded version of the China-exclusive Redmi Note 13 Turbo. This phone boasts the same processor as the anticipated F6, coupled with up to 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, hinting at impressive speed and ample storage capacity.
Display and Camera Speculations
The Redmi Note 13 Turbo, which may serve as the blueprint for the POCO F6, features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR 10+ certification. The camera setup in the potential source device includes a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultrawide sensor on the rear. However, whispers suggest the POCO F6 might deviate with a triple rear camera system incorporating a macro lens, catering to close-up photography enthusiasts.
Battery, Charging, and a Special Edition Hint
The POCO F6 is expected to pack a 5,000mAh battery, ensuring long-lasting use. Additionally, rumors suggest support for 90W fast charging, enabling rapid power replenishment. Intriguingly, references to a “Deadpool Special Edition” of the Poco F6 were discovered within the HyperOS codebase. While details remain scarce, this could potentially be a visually striking variant for fans of the Marvel Comics character.
Launch Timeline and Future Updates
The POCO F6 series is anticipated to launch sometime in June. The coming days are likely to bring a surge of information as POCO sheds light on the official features and specifications of these highly anticipated smartphones.
