In a post by tech tipster Yogesh Brar, it’s predicted that POCO might launch an additional X5 variant in April, dubbed the POCO X5 GT. Given that Xiaomi and its sub-brands release several variants of a product, it’s very likely that we might see this ship out for buyers soon.

In terms of hardware, it’s expected that the POCO X5 GT will come with a 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 SoC paired with either 8 or 12GB RAM, and 128/256GB of internal storage. As for cameras, the  rear camera will come with a triple-lens array with a 50MP (OIS) main camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and an extra 2MP sensor. The phone will also come with a 16MP Front Camera. Other details include an IR sensor, a 5,500 mAh battery with 67W fast-charging, as well as Android 13 with MIUI. 

In any case, we can expect more information to come in the following weeks, that is unless Xiaomi or POCO officially teases the device.
