Mystery Redmi phone gets certified with big battery, will also be Poco branded

Xiaomi’s sub-brands are working on a new smartphone, which has just been certified by the FCC – that is, the Redmi version of it, bearing the model number 25078RA3EL. It lacks 5G support, so it will be 4G-only.

The phone boasts a massive 6.9-inch LCD touchscreen, and a big 6,000 mAh battery. It will support 33W wired charging, and will ship running Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.2.

The live image you can see below shows a V-shaped notch at the top of the screen, which, along with the lack of 5G support, confirms that this will be a very cheap device.

It will also be offered under the Poco brand globally, as it’s been EEC certified with the model number 25078PC3EG. The “2507” at the beginning of both of those model numbers implies it was initially planned to come out in or around July this year, but do keep in mind that Xiaomi and its sub-brands don’t always stick to the initial schedule.

Either way, we’re sure we’ll be hearing more about this soon, so stay tuned.
