Xiaomi’s sub-brand has released a new midrange phone, the POCO M6 Pro, and if it looks familiar, that’s because it’s essentially a rebranded Redmi 12 5G that was launched in India a few days earlier — only with a slightly different design to set it apart.

The POCO M6 Pro is powered by the 5G-equipped Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, which you can pair with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage.

It has a similar layout on the back as the Redmi 12, but now with POCO’s signature black stripe across the camera area, which by the way consists of a 50-megapixel main shooter and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. An 8-megapixel selfie camera is on a punch-hole at the front.

There’s a really large 6.79-inch FHD+ LCD display on the front with a 90Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling. It is protected by an unknown Corning Gorilla Glass version.

As a standard, it has a 5,000mAh battery and ships with a 22.5W charger, albeit the device only supports 18W.

Like most Xiaomi phones, it ships with an IR blaster. Sofware is handled by an Android 13-based MIUI 14.
