The display part of review seems a bit rushed, moreover this phone doesn't supports HDR or HDR10+ anywhere, youtube, netflix, amazon. Its a total disappointment of a processor from qualcomm.

    Anonymous, 11 Jan 2024Because megapixels are just numbers, even on Samsung which ... moreStill, megapixels are important for digital zoom. Which matters even on phones with telephoto cameras since they don't work at night.

        why no 3dmark stress test results? X6 Pro also does not have it from youtube reviews

          Pumpino, 11 Jan 2024Why are so many phones with 5,000mAh batteries getting less... moreThe modem combined with RF power output consumes more power than the CPU if averaged over time. If you are very far from the network tower, RF power output would also have to be increased.

          Also, modems are not manufactured on the latest process node.

            Has a Dimensity 9000

              Why are so many phones with 5,000mAh batteries getting less than 10 hours of web browsing? I've seen it with 4nm chips from both Qualcomm and MediaTek.

                Eric20, 11 Jan 2024That 200MP(HP3 sensor) is OK on other smartphones like Real... moreISP is a possibility but... the Motorola phone had better specs and still had issues with the 200mpx.

                Again, these cameras are all about software so even with a good ISP it is not given the picture quality will be good.

                I am not saying ISP is not at fault, just that it isn't the only possibility.

                Also the speed at which Xiaomi and other china brands dump phones on the market could be the problem too.

                  Anonymous, 11 Jan 2024Even on the Realme the sensor is not pushed to it's fu... moreAlso, this OmniVision 64MP(on POCO X6) is also used on POCO F5, and it doesn't look that bad on F5. You can do the photo-comparison right here on gsmarena.

                  I am leaning more on ISP being trash on 7s Gen 2.

                    Also funny it doesn't always have NFC in all EU countries and all other markets, like why the heck does one region have NFC and other not? NFC is dirt cheap and this thing starts at 349 euro in my country.

                        I am thinking either the ISP on 7s Gen 2 is garbage or Xiaomi engineers don't know how to tune the ISP.

                          Eric20, 11 Jan 2024What happened Xiaomi? 😬😬😬 The cameras in both Note 13 P... moreBecause megapixels are just numbers, even on Samsung which has the better software the 200mpx sensor is kinda meh, even compared to the 50mpx on their other S phones.

                          LG made some fine pictures with 12mpx, and iPhones did that too when they had a main 12mpx.

                          And don't get me started about Pixel phones, they had a 12mpx sensor for ages and Google pushed it to the max, because in phones it's all about the software and a 200mpx sensor won't save bad software (Motorola and Xiaomi with 200mpx proving that)

                          Unless DLSR, on phones the software does all the job with picture quality.

                            the grading makes no sense on this site. I read much more negative reviews here andvthe score would be 4.5... just do away with the grading.. its hurting the quality of the site...

                                https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2197687/poco-x6-5g-review.html

                                The review above specifically states that the Poco X6 does not have microSD support. Imagine that, their reviewer is actually good at their job and gave useful information.

                                This is a trend with GSMarena reviews, not stating what kind of SIM slot setup phones have or getting it wrong.

                                That battery life is absolutely terrible too. And the 7s Gen 2 is only as powerful as the 3 year old 778g. So it's another POS from Xiaomi.

                                  WOW terrible battery life. It is really becoming a trend with Xiaomi phones. And this chipset is probably not quite efficient too.

                                      Bruh the GSMArena ratings are out of place , phone highly praised in review but still a 3.8 ⭐ ,I don't understand.

And I agree with that assessment. The sustained performance of SD 7s Gen 2 is very impressive. And performance level is also pretty good, around SD 778.
