The POCO X6 Pro is equipped with 14 5G bands, offering extensive compatibility for next-generation cellular networks.
Understanding 5G Bands in the POCO X6 Pro
5G connectivity is crucial for high-speed internet, low latency, and efficient communication. The number and type of 5G bands a smartphone supports directly influence its ability to connect to various 5G networks globally. A wider range of supported bands ensures better compatibility and performance, especially when traveling or switching network providers.
The POCO X6 Pro supports a comprehensive set of 5G bands, which are listed below:
| Category | Supported Bands |
|---|---|
| 5G Bands | 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41, 48, 77, 78 |
This extensive list of bands allows the POCO X6 Pro to operate across many different frequencies used by 5G networks worldwide, enhancing its global usability.
SA/NSA/Sub6 Explained
The POCO X6 Pro's 5G capabilities also include support for SA (Standalone), NSA (Non-Standalone), and Sub6 (Sub-6 GHz) network configurations.
- NSA (Non-Standalone): This is the initial deployment of 5G, relying on existing 4G LTE infrastructure for its control plane while using 5G for the data plane. Most current 5G networks operate in NSA mode.
- SA (Standalone): This represents a true 5G network where both the control and data planes operate entirely on 5G infrastructure. SA offers even lower latency and greater flexibility.
- Sub6 (Sub-6 GHz): These are 5G frequencies below 6 GHz, offering a good balance of coverage and speed. Most 5G deployments globally use Sub-6 GHz bands, providing wider area coverage compared to mmWave (millimeter wave) 5G.
By supporting these modes and a broad array of bands, the POCO X6 Pro is well-positioned for current and future 5G network evolutions, providing users with robust and reliable high-speed connectivity.
