The image shared by the tipster reveals the POCO limited edition smartphone in a Red color option with a leather-textured back panel. This is similar to Deadpool’s signature Crimson Red color. The LED flash unit has a superhero’s insignia. The right side of the panel has ‘special limited edition’ text under the POCO branding in Yellow hue. We could also spot the character’s katana blade below the camera sensors. 

Being a special limited edition smartphone, the upcoming POCO device is expected to come in a customized box and bundled goodies like stickers, keychain, and more. The smartphone could also come with a customized UI. It could be released on July 26 with sales commencing in early August.

Judging by the camera arrangement on the POCO limited edition smartphone, it appears to be the POCO F6. It was spotted on the HyperOS database way back in April. The POCO F6 (review) comes with a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It has 50MP and 8MP dual rear cameras. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The smartphone is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 90W charging.
