Xiaomi's sub-brands, Redmi and POCO, are gearing up to release new smartphones powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, aimed at international markets. Recent leaks from the Google Play Console database have provided insights into these forthcoming models. Notably, the Redmi 13 5G and POCO M6 Plus 5G are both expected to feature the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset.
Leaked Specifications
The POCO M6 Plus 5G listing unveils additional details, such as 8GB of RAM, an Adreno 613 GPU, the Android 14 operating system, and a Full HD+ (1080×2460) display boasting a 440 dpi pixel density. While specific information about the Redmi 13 5G remains scarce, the Google Play Console listing indicates it might share the same processor, GPU, and OS, but potentially with a different RAM configuration, possibly 6GB.
Possible Rebranding
Speculation suggests that the POCO M6 Plus 5G could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 13R, which was recently launched in China. The leaked specs for both devices show many similarities.
It seems Xiaomi is preparing to launch very similar 5G smartphones under both the Redmi and POCO brands, both powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor. While we can expect some regional variations in specific features or RAM configurations, these phones are likely to deliver similar performance at an affordable price. How Xiaomi distinguishes these phones and the markets they target for each brand will be intriguing to observe in the upcoming months.
