Anonymous, 12 Jun 2024Look at the price between x6 pro 12/512 and f6 8/256 in you... moreI just got F6 12/512 for $330. About 4 months ago I got X6 Pro for $300. F6 is clearly more power hungry and drains the same battery a bit faster with heavy use but that is to be expected. The camera differences depicted in the article are accurate.

At $30 difference, I think they are same value or F6 a slightly better one.

      I have no knowledge about chipsets and the like. I just want to play games (like hsr, wuwa, etc) and have general use like youtube reddit, etc.

      I also don't care about camera quality that much so my focus is more on gaming and general use.

        Anonymous, 10 Jun 2024Exactly the opposite, the F6 is better for both.That's why I said "except", the F6 is only better for those two things.

          Except on those 2 situations, X6 Pro is the better choice.

                  It's just sad there isn't much reviews or coverage for the Turbo 3 when it's the same as the F6.

                      Good Phone 📱.
                      I had Poco X3 Pro which was very good.
                      The problem with poco X6 Pro is that Contacts RingTones, although I Have special Ringtones to some contacts, the phone 📱 calling ringtone is always the one we set ad ringtone at sound 🔉 and vibration setup.
                      Never contact ringtone work 😩
                      Only main Ringtone.
                      Is it a new OD Version?

                          Thanks guys. Much appreciated comparisons like this, because with the F series prices creeping up, it's great to know what is has over the increasingly impressive X series. keep up with similar comparos from other brands that may produce closely related models as well. so we can consumers can make informed purchases.

                            In battery life section it is mentioned Dimensity 8300 chip and later in Performance and other sections it is mentioned Dimensity 8200 chip. What is the real chipset inside Poco X6 pro? Better correct the chip set details.

                              Poco is mainly for India and Europe market where as in India it's cheaper then in Europe and in Europe there is no point to get a phone that is made for China market as it is missing the 4G internet bands.

                              I have a 5G phone but i dont have contract made for the 5G so it's turned off as of now. I just dont see a point to pay more per month for extra internet speed when 4G gives me average of around 100mb/s that is more then enough to have like 4 streams of 4K format movies to run with no stutter or lag

                              I mentioned about the ads as i dont know how it works for specific China market phones for the lower price they have. I also know that ads can be turned off even tough i never had them for 5 years on redmi note 5 ai dual cam and now for a year on Poco F5

                                Anonymous, 10 Jun 2024Because splash proof is more than enough and most people wo... moreWell i have seen years of whining people in this site were are on that they need the ip rating cause they live in Atlantis or something where they swim with the phone.

                                I my self dont need it as my phones have the splash and dust rating and survived for me when i was doing 3 years of working with water like washing windows out side of the houses with long pole that reaches to 4th floor with water hose on it. I have done it in a heavy rain and so on and my phone survived all of that and i had that Redmi note 5 ai dual cam with the silicon case it come with. And i had the case on for the only reason as without it the matte paint was just too slippery

                                  And the ads can be turned off by something as simple as toggling off settings, which I did on a Huawei, and as advanced as debloating which jas loads of video tutorials.

                                  Some people are just lazy as with the Huawei one only having it on Suggested apps filed inside default folders with a cog wheel or Settings button on the upper right corner. Private DNS also works.

Even ip68 certification isn't that strict as seen from youtube demosand will lose eventually if user keeps dunking his phone.

                                    Ever noticed how phone companies stopped underwater ads, esp sea diving, with their phones?

I hope the X3 Pro (Snapdragon 860) case did not occur in X6 Pro, because X3 Pro tend to broke because overheat etc.

                                        I've ordered mine from Poco Global Official Store a Poco X6 Pro (Yellow & 12/512) for 16k (Philippine Peso) and the lowest sales I saw for Poco F6 is 18k for the 8/256 variant and 20k plus for the 12/512 one. I guess, I have to say Poco X6 wins on endurance of battery, price tag, design (eco-leather back on yellow) against this pig-looking design of the back of Poco F6.

                                        No hate on the Poco F6 users but the IP64 ingress is awesome though and yeah, no hate on the design on the back because it really just is. If it's the Turbo 3 released, then that one wins it. ^^
