POCO has already confirmed that it will announce the X6 and M6 Pro 4G smartphones in India on January 11. The Xiaomi sub-brand has begun teasing key specifications and features of the upcoming devices ahead of the launch, which will take place next week. Now POCO has confirmed the software details of the X6 Pro 5G.
POCO confirms HyperOS for the upcoming X6 Pro 5G
POCO has announced on its official X page (formerly Twitter) that the POCO X6 Pro 5G will ship with HyperOS out of the box. This will make it the first device in India to come with Xiaomi’s new interface, which replaces MIUI. POCO is already rolling out the HyperOS update over the air for the POCO F5, as previously confirmed. The rollout is already ahead of other devices from Xiaomi’s flagship lineup and Redmi phones.
Xiaomi has already confirmed that Xiaomi 13 Pro (review) and Xiaomi Pad 6 (review) will be the first devices to receive HyperOS in the near future. Unfortunately, the recently announced Redmi Note 13 series in India comes with MIUI preinstalled.
It has already been confirmed that POCO X6 Pro 5G will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra processor. It will retain the same design as its predecessor, with an elongated rectangular camera module on the back. The upcoming device will be equipped with a 5000 mm2 stainless steel steam cooling chamber for heat dissipation.
An accidental leak of information about the device on Amazon showed that it will be equipped with a 6.7-inch LTPS AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a resolution of 1.5 thousand pixels. The smartphone will be equipped with a 64MP main camera with OIS support, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle and 2MP macro lens. Reportedly, the upcoming offering will be backed by a 5000 mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. The POCO X6 Pro 5G is priced at AED 1,299 for the top configuration with 12GB + 512GB of RAM and storage.
