While specific details about the features and specifications of these devices remain undisclosed, the expectation of featuring the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC underscores Xiaomi’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology to its users. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is anticipated to offer significant improvements in processing power, graphical performance, and energy efficiency compared to its predecessors.
As the official announcement date of the new Snapdragon processors approaches, enthusiasts eagerly await further updates on the Redmi Note 13 Turbo and the Poco F6. These leaks and rumors add to the anticipation surrounding Xiaomi’s upcoming smartphone lineup, generating excitement among tech enthusiasts and consumers alike. The convergence of advanced hardware and innovative software features is poised to redefine the smartphone landscape, offering users unparalleled performance and functionality.
Getting into the details about the Redmi Turbo, it is said to have some ‘flagship killer’ specifications. Key among these are the soon to be announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The processor is said to feature one Cortex-X4 core with a clock speed of 3.01GHz, four Cortex-A720 cores with a clock speed of 2.61GHz, and three Cortex-A520 cores with a clock speed of 1.84GHz for its CPU.
Additional details from this leak include more information about the phone’s display. The tipster claims that the phone will have a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution. The display will also feature a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz and also offer pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming at 2,160Hz. The phone is said to run Android 14 out of the box, which means it should run Xiaomi’s HyperOS custom skin. There’s also information about the Redmi Note 13 Turbo’s battery which the tipster claims has a capacity of 6,000mAh and can be charged using a cable at 80W.
Details about the phone getting re-branded as the Poco F6 for India are a bit conflicting. This is mainly because the currently available Poco F5 (Review) has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC, meaning that the ideal processor upgrade would have been the unreleased Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC. There are higher chances that Redmi Note 13 Turbo could be re-branded as the Poco F6 Pro instead, which according to a recent leak is said to offer a more relatable Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
