POCO is very clear on how the new reference will be determined
POCO X6 and X6 Pro are very similar phones. So much so that they share cameras, fast charging technologies and panel. They both ride 6.67 inch screen with AMOLED technology120 Hz, 1,800 nits (HBM 1,200 nits) peak brightness and compatible with Dolby Vision.
One of the main changes is in the processor. POCO X6 comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, while the Pro model is based on MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra. Don’t let prejudices influence you: MediaTek Dimensity 8300 is a high-end SoCIt’s on par with Qualcomm’s latest releases (even better in terms of sustained performance) and well above the 7s Gen 2.
This allows the Pro model to have LPDDR5X and UFS 4.0 type memories, the fastest on the market. The basic configuration of both is striking: 8 + 256 GB, a figure we usually see in high-end models. In both cases we can go up to 12 + 512 GB, which is a great configuration that takes these terminals away from the middle class.
As for the photography section; main camera 64 megapixels with OIS. This is accompanied by a 13-megapixel ultra wide angle and two-megapixel macro. The selfie camera sensor is 16 megapixels and is placed in the central hole of the panel.
The operating system is Android-based HyperOS, but the version they have is not specified. This bet is the evolution of MIUI, but is quite inspired by the previous ROM.
