Poco F6 Global Variant Appears on Geekbench; Could Feature Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC

Poco F6 is rumored to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 3.

Poco F6 is expected to launch later this year as a successor to the Poco F5 5G, which was unveiled in May 2023. Previous reports have claimed that the Poco F6 could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 3, which was introduced in China earlier in April. The handset has also appeared on several certification sites over the past few weeks. Now, the purported Poco F6 has been spotted on a benchmarking website.

A Poco phone with model number 24069PC21G has been spotted on the Geekbench website, said to be the Poco F6. The phone has scored 1,884 and 4,799 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. The listing shows that the handset will support 12GB of RAM and ship with Android 14-based HyperOS.

The ‘G’ in the model number of the Poco F6 suggests that it could be the global variant. The octa-core Qualcomm chipset on the phone is listed to have a clock speed of 3.01GHz. It is expected to be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, which is likely to be paired with an Adreno 735 GPU.

If the Poco F6 is indeed a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 3, we can expect similar specifications and features. The Redmi Turbo 3 comes with a high-refresh-rate display, a large battery with fast charging support, and a versatile camera setup. The design and build quality of the Poco F6 are also likely to be premium, following the trend set by its predecessor.

Poco’s strategy of rebranding successful models from its parent company Xiaomi has often resulted in competitive pricing and high value for money. The Poco F6 is anticipated to continue this trend, offering flagship-level performance and features at a mid-range price point.

Further details about the Poco F6, including its exact launch date and pricing, are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks. The device is poised to be a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market, appealing to users looking for high performance and advanced features without breaking the bank.

Since the Poco F6 is expected to be a rebadged version of the Redmi Turbo 3, it is expected to offer similar design elements and key features. The Poco phone may sport a 6.7-inch 120Hz 1.5K OLED display, a 20-megapixel selfie shooter, a 50-megapixel dual rear camera unit, and a 5,000mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging.
