The camera setup includes a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro camera. Notably, the phone is equipped with a substantial 5500mAh battery and supports 90W fast charging.
Earlier speculations suggest that the POCO X6 5G will be a rebadged version of the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, set to debut in India on January 4th. Consequently, it is anticipated that the POCO X6 and X6 Pro will likely be unveiled on the same date.
