Xiaomi’s sub-brand has launched a new addition to its X6 Series lineup, the POCO X6 Neo 5G. It sports a design that resembles the aesthetic of the newest Redmi Note 13 16 Series.
At the rear protrudes a rectangular camera module housing dual cameras aligned symmetrically with the LED flash and POCO’s moniker. The said cameras are a 108-megapixel main shooter with 3x “lossless” in-sensor zoom, accompanied by a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
Up front is a hole punch cutout that houses a 16-megapixel selfie camera. It sports a 6.67-inch Full HD+, 120Hz AMOLED screen and sandwiched on top is a Gorilla Glass 5 for added protection. Furthermore, it has an IP54 rating against water splashes and dust.
Under the hood is a Dimensity 6080 chip, configured with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB expandable storage. Interestingly, it still comes with MIUI 14 (Android 13) out of the box just like the Redmi Note 13 Series when it first came out.
