Xiaomi has officially launched its latest Poco smartphones in India, introducing the Poco X6 and X6 Pro to the market. Both devices are rebranded versions of earlier releases, each with some variations in specifications. The Poco X6 Pro appears to be a rebranded Redmi K70E, featuring MediaTek’s high-end Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset for a balance of power and efficiency. However, it comes with a slightly slower 67W charging capability compared to the K70E’s impressive 90W speeds.
Both variants of the Poco X6 sport 6.67-inch AMOLED displays with a high resolution of 1,220 x 2,712px, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of up to 1,800 nits. Notably, they include a 16MP front-facing camera within a punch-hole cutout and in-display fingerprint scanners, marking a significant first for Poco smartphones. The camera setup on both models is led by a 64MP primary camera with 2x lossless in-sensor zoom and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Additionally, there’s an 8MP ultrawide module and a 2MP macro lens.

In terms of software, the Poco X6 Pro runs on Xiaomi HyperOS, based on Android 14, while the X6 initially ships with the older MIUI 14, with an upcoming update to HyperOS confirmed by Poco. Poco has also committed to delivering three Android updates and four years of security patches for both X6 variants, ensuring long-term usability and security.
The Poco X6 Pro is equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery and supports 67W fast charging, whereas the standard X6 comes with a slightly larger 5,100 mAh battery and the same 67W charging support. Poco offers a range of color options for individual preferences. The Poco X6 is available in classic black, pristine white, and stylish blue, while the Poco X6 Pro comes in black, elegant grey, and the signature Poco yellow.
The Poco X6 is priced starting at $249, while the Poco X6 Pro is set at $299 in India. International prices for these phones are expected to be higher.
