4G-only Poco M6 Pro debuts with Helio G99-Ultra, 64MP camera, and 120Hz screen

Xiaomi's Poco launched the Poco M6 Pro 5G last August in India with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC, 90Hz LCD screen, 50MP dual camera setup, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 18W charging. Today, the brand announced a 4G-version of the phone that will be available globally.

For starters, the global Poco M6 Pro is powered by the Helio G99-Ultra SoC, which means it's limited to LTE connectivity. It boots Android 13-based MIUI 14 (will get HyperOS later), and has up to 12GB RAM and 512GB of expandable storage onboard. The smartphone is built around a 6.67" 120Hz FullHD+ AMOLED screen, protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The display also has a fingerprint scanner underneath and a centered punch-hole for the 16MP selfie camera.

Around the back, you get a triple camera setup comprising 64MP primary, 8MP ultrawide, and 2MP macro units. The main camera has OIS and and comes with a feature called Film Camera, having 12 film filters and eight film frames "for greater creative options and the sharing of memorable visuals on social media."

The rest of the international Poco M6 Pro's highlights include a 5,000 mAh battery with 67W charging support (0-100% in 44 minutes), USB-C, and IP54 rating. The smartphone also has dual speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an IR blaster, and an NFC chip.

The global Poco M6 Pro will be offered in black, blue, and purple colors with two memory options - 8GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB, priced at $199 and $249, respectively. Both will go on sale starting January 11 through leading e-commerce channels with an early bird discount of $20.

The g99 SOC is overused and an inconsistent performer

they're not entirely the same. 4g1 and 695 have a stronger gpu (adreno 619) and the 4g2 has the adreno 613, which is a lot weaker. Benchmarks here https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_12_5g_hands_on-review-2609p3.php
