Recent reports suggest that the base Poco X6 may likely be powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 onboard storage. It is said to be a rebranded Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. The triple rear camera unit of the Poco X6 is said to include a 64-megapixel primary sensor, a 13-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel shooter.

The Poco X6 Pro, on the other hand, is expected to get a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra. The handset is said to be a rebranded Redmi K70E. If it is indeed a rebranded K70E, then we can expect it to offer up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of inbuilt storage. The Poco X6 lineup has previously been confirmed to introduce India's first MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra-powered smartphone. It could feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED 1.5K LTPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

For optics, a triple rear camera unit on the Poco X6 Pro could include a 67-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS) support, an 8-megapixel sensor paired with an ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro shooter. The higher-end model has also been tipped to pack a 5,000mAh battery with 67W wired fast charging support.

A recent leak, sharing design renders of the Poco X6 series handsets, suggested that the base model is likely to be offered in black, grey, and yellow colourways, while the Pro model is expected to come in black, blue and white shades. The Poco X6 and Poco X6 Pro are said to be rebadged versions of the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and Redmi K70E.
