When Xiaomi revealed and launched the Redmi K70 family in China, many of us started betting on how these would eventually make it to the rest of the world. Everything indicated that the most economical version – no less attractive – was the future POCO F6, aimed at the affordable high-end of the sub-brand.
However, as we read in Xiaomiui, it will not be like that. Instead, it will be the aforementioned POCO X6 Pro 5G which will collect the specifications of the Redmi K70E, leaving us without doubt on its specifications. According to the specialist portal, this will be launched next January, already well before 2024.
