Poco X6 Pro review

12 January 2024


Sort by:

Why is video capped at 30fps with such a powerful SoC?This is 2024, what is this Poco??
Also why is screen brightness lower compared to regular X6?
Last but not least, to no ones surprise, yet another Xiaomi(poco)device with built in ads you have to manually disable....

    We're finally getting a worthy successor to the mighty X3 Pro. Well done Poco!

      Zuzuz, 12 Jan 2024I wouldn't do that. I would just give points for every... moreProblem with that is

      He highest rating would be for the most highest class smartphones

      But if you go with my approach like weight classes in boxing 5 star would be 5 star in context of budget midrange etc

      The audience/readers would then know which is ye best screen in a midranger etc

        Mills, 12 Jan 2024It's either Samsung favoritism or the camera thing. ... moreA55 must deliver Dex mode, is now impossible to deliver only phone functions due the potential it has. So much potential can't be wasted anymore.

          Some will earn more points on screen and camera, some in battery etc.

            jrant, 12 Jan 2024Using "all" is wrong as Victor's Top 5 phone... moreI understand what your trying to say

            But it still doesn't do a good job of representing the full smartphone experience

            Even his list doesn't have entry level phones f5 is upper midrange

                  You made wrong
                  How can consider these Antutu and geekbench results when you test in winter very cold
                  You must test it in hot environment to see throttle
                  It's goes down to 1000 in single core snd 3900 in multi cores in India and it's not summer
                  You in Germany i guess its very cold
                  To be accurate you must correct these numbers
                  Repeat Antutu and geekbench test on hot environment and see the difference
                  Trust me it's much
                  I will not trust yours reviews in future if you didn't

                      IpsDisplay, 12 Jan 2024Just look at all the reviewers top 5 smartphones of the yea... moreUsing "all" is wrong as Victor's Top 5 phones consists of a few mid-rangers and even includes the POCO F5

                        Vivo Iqoo 9 and 9 pro are solid alternatives too.

                          PureOS, 12 Jan 2024Just 4.0 rating?! This super machine they compare with A54,... moreJust look at all the reviewers top 5 smartphones of the year

                          You see basically only flagships and their bias there are no representation of enthusiasm across all price categories

                          So you can't expect them to be able to have a healthy spectrum of context for quality in each smartphone class/group

                          It is what it is, if I were in charge of gsmarena I would change the colours of the star ratings for the 3 different classes , flagship, midrange , budget

                          Or maybe 5 flagship, upper midrange, midrange, budget , entry level so to respect the quality rating relatively when giving a score

                          So that comparisons are more streamlined and appropriate

                          Unfortunately the site ideal should be about enthusiasm in all groups but in practice it's just reviews with flagships and then comparing every other class to foldables and iphones

                              PureOS, 12 Jan 2024Just 4.0 rating?! This super machine they compare with A54,... moreYeah it's the gsmarena bias that they will never change

                              They only reserve above 4.5 ratings for flagships only

                              The team is incapable of judging smartphones based on their class instead they reserve such high ratings for flagships ONLY

                              There should be high ratings for ultra budget and mid rangers as well if this site was more balanced but it isn't

                                PureOS, 12 Jan 2024Just 4.0 rating?! This super machine they compare with A54,... moreIt's either Samsung favoritism or the camera thing.

                                I do defend the A54 but not this time. Poco X6 Pro stepped up from last years iteration. If I can't defend A54 to this, I don't wanna know what A55 and Poco F6 will be like.

                                  Chipset performance numbers are incredible for the price and the fact it comes with ultra fast charger is extra bonus.

                                    Just 4.0 rating?! This super machine they compare with A54, which in their own words was most non-fluid smartphone in long term review. Also, when I'm reading this review, i have impression that is more bad than good, which is not true. They give totally wrong perception. Also, when i read this in review "the 8MP ultrawide doesn't have the pixels for 4K capture" i starts to laugh. This is not 1000€ phone, its 300€ midrange, with soc, screen and battery on pair with flagship, and with more advanced charging speed, which flagships can only dream about. Sorry for long story, but this is currently the best midrange smartphone on the market, and it deserve undoubtedly recommendation and not twisted words for the sake of a lower rating. GREAT PHONE.

                                        In India this is priced significantly less than its competitors. Cheaper than the redmi note 13 pro+ also.

                                        So at this price point of about ₹29000 or about $350 for the 12 GB/512 GB version, it has no equals.

                                        Simply go online and buy.
