Meanwhile, the Realme 12 5G with MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ 5G SoC went official earlier today. Poco India head Himanshu Tandon takes a swipe at Realme and sarcastically wrote that He sensed “red flags” when he saw an LCD display and a MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor in a sub-17K smartphone. He reiterated that the Poco M65 5G offered the same chipset for under Rs. 10,000, and urged buyers to wait for the new Neo phone.
Gadgets 360 recently shared some exclusive details and design aspects of the Poco X6 Neo. It is expected to come in an Orange colour option with dual cameras on the back, resembling the design language of the Redmi Note 13R Pro. It could be priced under Rs. 16,000.
The Redmi Note 13R Pro was launched in China in November last year with a price tag of CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 23,000) for the sole model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
The Poco X6 Neo and Redmi Note 13R Pro will feature similar specs if the former is indeed a rebranded phone. The Redmi Note 13R Pro came with a 6.67-inch (1,080×2,400 pixels) OLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and 2,160Hz pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming. The phone is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 6080 SoC with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage.
The Redmi Note 13R Pro has a dual rear camera system, consisting of a 108-megapixel primary camera alongside a 2-megapixel shooter. For selfies, there’s a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. The smartphone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for authentication. It is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.
