31 May 2024
We take a look at Poco's new F6 series to decide which one is better.

NGL, those people pointing about the Proximity Senror and vibration & haptics do have a point. These things are pretty much not even talked about by any reviewer. And they matter they most even in normal day to day use. For that case I guess F6 Pro would be the better choice.

Better build quality is fair but F6 is still fine. It charges faster by like 10 battery percent faster (F6 can be at 45%, F6 pro would be at 53-55%). Everything else does not bother me.

          Suna, 02 Jun 2024Is the Pro version really really worth it's price over PF6?No it really isn't. Plenty of people have said so.

          Poco F6 is one of the best deals you can get right now on a 2024 smartphone.

                    I just bought the F6 pro, because the vanilla has a virtual proximity sensor, several friends have problems with that thing. Else, I would have bought the vanilla. Still, i grabbed the F6 pro 12/512 for around 389usd in AliExpress, so I'm happy with that deal.

                        Either China made or US made, good luck to you on finding a phone that doesn't require your privacies.

                        Otherwise you can just stop accepting to eat those brainwashing political propaganda narratives.

                        Or either just stop spreading such brainwashing political propaganda narratives, in case you're one of the political robotic machine...

Imagine thinking that an iPhone, Samsung, or Pixel (aka western oriented brand, if we're excluding Samsung) are better for privacy than a Chinese phone.
                              Also iPhone is made in China, is that mean iPhone is also MaDe 4 ChInA?

                                  If you even checked comments on the sub, you would've seen people complaining how some of them only take a few minutes for the migraine to kick in just looking at the screen. This issue is so niche the sufferers look like they're just lying to normal people. There's even 12-13 series iphone users there that replace their oled panels to LCD just so they could use them as the 11 is close to getting dumped.

                                  Not a single mainstream influencer, including MKBHD, talks about this so it gets swept under the rug by the makers.

                                    the pricing is kinda misleading. The Eu price for example is 449€ in Amazon, not 380€.

                                      So weird to see people ask to take out a phone and research trough it.
                                      I can't think more uncomfortable thing to do then research trough phone when i have desktop computer or even a laptop or tablet.

                                      Also this reddit link is totally useless to post here. Someone just ask suggestion on what phone to get that have the pwm feature basically so why you posted the link is beyond me.

                                      Also i know enough about the pwm and dont see a point to research about it as i dont have the problems like migraine or dry eyes cause i spend time behind a screen a lot.

                                      Still the problem is that people are too much time looking a screen and there for have the health problems. It's the addiction to screen that is the bigger problem and a need to solve it so you wont have the issues like migraine or dry eyes and so on
