There have been clues of the new Poco F6 series for some time now, which is expected to consist of the Poco F6 and the Poco F6 Pro. Recently, there was a rumor that the Poco F6, as the successor to the Poco F5, was a rebranded Redmi K70. Now, there are new clues that paint a different story.
Some time ago, the supposed Poco F6 appeared at Indian certification body BIS with the model number 2311DRK48I. As this is very similar to the 2311DRK48C number assigned to the Redmi K70, it was assumed that these were virtually identical smartphones.
However, there are now clues to the contrary. According to new findings from Geekbench listings, the model behind model number 2311DRK48C is the upcoming Redmi K70E. Globally and in India, this smartphone may well be launched as the Poco F6. The global variant is said to bear the number 2311DRK48G, which also has been sighted for IMDA certification in Singapore.
Just yesterday, there was a detailed report with various teasers and leaks about the specifications of the Redmi K70e, which can also be expected for the Poco F6. These include, among other things, the brand new MediaTek Dimensity 8300, a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 120 Hz and a resolution of 2712 x 1220, and a 5500 mAh battery with 90 W charging speed. As Xiaomi has now started publishing teasers of the Redmi K70E in China, its launch is expected to follow soon. However, the Poco F6 (Pro) is not expected until next year.
I have been fascinated by technology for around 25 years – especially technology that makes life easier rather than more complicated. Mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches are particularly close to my heart as is the booming subject of smart homes. I have been working in these areas for several years now as a news and reviews editor. I have been active with various websites, including the smart home blogs homee, Nuki, and siio, as well as tech portals such as Giga and TechRadar. I have been writing news and laptop reviews for Notebookcheck since 2020.
Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
