It's exactly the same. Both come with MIUI 14, based on A13, and lots of preloaded bloatware. I recently got a Poco M6 Pro for my dad.

The obvious explanation could be the different base variants, distinct back panels, and a slight pricing difference between the two. Furthermore, Poco has a horrible reputation for faulty hardware, so to promote sales, Xiaomi released identical twins; one of them is sold exclusively on Amazon and the other on Flipkart. Xiaomi has been doing this for a long time now.
Poco is predominantly an online brand. Xiaomi is everywhere. If you notice, poco phones are consistently priced cheaper. If they had only one brand, retailers would complain about online sales undercutting their sales and ask for even more b2b discounts. Now that the poco m6 pro is a different model, nobody will complain even if it's priced substantially cheaper than the redmi except a few of us enthusiasts who notice. This is a strategy followed by several brands ( tp link a6 vs c6, Epson l315x models) it lets each retailer claim they have the cheapest product and if it's exclusive to them, they don't have to worry about price matching. If you want to know more about why etc, you're getting into some very hardcore sales strategy. Google for channel conflict and mitigation strategies
Mi and Poco phones were supposedly overheating after updates (the original Poco X3 Pro fiasco). That overheating in confined space was supposedly causing other components placed near the heat source to fail.Here are reports from from S21 FE. Check all posts.
Apparently these are happening without software updates as well. Not sure how software updates can ruin the display to begin with but there's that.
What's on the white line?
Currently, the white line issue on the display of the Samsung S series S21 FE mobile is extremely frequent. Even with normal use without software update, suddenly the white line issue appears on the display. Does Samsung have any correct answer on how to protect the device from white issues when...r2.community.samsung.com
But this was just a conjecture. Not sure if something similar is happening to these displays as well.
