Multiple models of the Redmi K70 series have appeared on the iMEI database. The POCO F6, which will likely be a rebadged version of one of the K70 series phones, has also been spotted on the certification website.
Let’s take a look at the key details about the Redmi K70 series and the POCO F6 series revealed so far.
Redmi K70 Series Gets IMEI Certified
The Redmi K70 series will launch as the company’s flagship smartphone series in China. The devices might launch globally under the POCO branding. Multiple K70 series phones have been spotted on the IMEI database.
According to the listing, three models of the K70 series have visited the IMEI database. There is the base K70e, above which will be the K70 and K70 Pro.
According to the listing spotted by Xiaomi UI (via), the K70e has the model number 23117RK66C. There is also the K70 with the model number 2311DRK48C. The K70 Pro, lastly, has the model number 23113RKC6C. The model numbers suggest that the K70 series will likely launch in November 2023.
The report also mentions that the POCO F6 series has cleared the IMEI database. The vanilla F6 has the model number 2311DRK48I, whereas the F6 Pro has the model numbers 23113RKC6G and 23113RKC6I.
The IMEI database does not specifically mention any specifications or features of the upcoming K70 series or the POCO F6 series.
Since this is the first major listing of the K70 series and the F6 series, not much is known about the specifications or features of the flagship phones.
IT Home, citing another report by Xiaomi UI, stated that the K70 Pro might feature the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, whereas the K70 5G will likely feature the current flagship SoC from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
We can expect the K70 series to feature some top-end hardware, including a 2K AMOLED display, up to 120W fast charging and a triple-camera setup.
More details about the devices should surface soon on the web. We will share more details as and when available.
Redmi K70e, K70, and K70 Pro model numbers, Key Specifications (Rumoured)
According to the report, the 23117RK66C, 2311DRK48C, and 23113RKC6C model numbers that have emerged in the IMEI database belong to the Redmi K70e, K70, and K70 Pro, respectively.
The “2311” numbers indicate that the K70 trio may launch in November or at least before the end of this year.
The report states that the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets, respectively.
The K70e, which is likely to remain exclusive to the Chinese market, may feature the upcoming Dimensity 8300 SoC.
The series is also expected to feature a periscope zoom camera. The other details of the K70 lineup are under wraps.
POCO F6, F6 Pro model numbers, Key Specifications (Rumoured)
As mentioned above, two POCO phones with model numbers 2311DRK48G (global) / 2311DRK48I (India) and 23113RKC6G (global) / 23113RKC6I (India) have also surfaced in the IMEI database.
The publication claims that these model numbers belong to the POCO F6 and F6 Pro, respectively.
While POCO launched the POCO F4 Pro and the POCO F5 Pro in the global market, these models were skipped in India. However, the new leak suggests that the POCO F6 Pro may be released in India.
Since the F6 series is said to be a rebranded version of the K70 lineup, it is likely that the POCO F6 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, whereas the F6 Pro will arrive with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
The F6 lineup is expected to debut in the first quarter of 2024.
