Poco X6 review

11 January 2024


Sort by:

Looking at other reviewers, no one confirms a microsd slot for this phone. Maybe this site has the wrong info? In the review they didn't confirm it. And they listed that as a pro for the Moto G84 in the alternatives section.

    GSMArena is the only one reporting this POCO X6 has a microSD slot. Can you double check and confirm it please? If it is incorrect you should correct in both the review and phone's page.

      chocowii, 11 Jan 2024Finally, my A52s can now rest. I was going to say you'll lose the Micro SD slot but then I saw it had one. Wow this one just got better

        Finally, my A52s can now rest.

          ashrobb, 11 Jan 2024Also, this one has a higher resolution than the usual 2400x... moreYeah, it is quite possible that display is also a culprit, since the screen-on times for video playback is also low. But why Poco used this high resolution display in the X6 is a mystry. They could have chosen to go with 1080p display, like other mid-rangers.

              Muthu, 11 Jan 2024Agreed. Seems to be the issue with Samsung fab. But sustain... moreAlso, this one has a higher resolution than the usual 2400x1080 most midrangers have. Maybe having a higher resolution consumes a little bit more battery?

                Besides chip and memory type is better than Poco F5.

                  Its been 11 days into 2024 and Xiaomi has already released ~6 phones. Thats 1 phone every 1.8888 days

                    +Great display, the brightest screen on the market from all mid range devices
                    +67W fast charging and charger in the box
                    +3years of OS updates and 4 security
                    +headphone jack, microSD and IR blaster
                    +decent speakers
                    -battery life is disappointing for 5100mah
                    -Android 13 out of the box and not 14.This means the phone in reality get 2major OS updates. HyperOS is just miui
                    -performance is in the same range as Dimensity 1080/snap778/Exynos 1380 range. Not great, not terrible, although way behind X6 pro.

                    Overall this phone is doomed to fail with its current price being very close to Poco X6 pro.

                      IpsDisplay, 11 Jan 2024Bad battery lifeAgreed. Seems to be the issue with Samsung fab. But sustained performance is fairly decent. I expected worser result than this. SD 7s Gen 2 performance is similar to SD 778, which is pretty good for this price range.

                        Bad battery life

                          I wish GSMArena make Mr Prasad permanent reviewer for All poco and redmis.
                          He is a master.
                          I like how he handle redmi note 13 pro+ .

                            Whoever did the camera section clearly didn't care much. The EIS sample on the main has really bad jittering wehere EIS keeps re-panning the image yet you say "EIS works great" + Portrait had really bad artifacting around the hair on first image

                              Gladly impressed at the camera. And I was expecting better battery life but that's what you get with Samsung fab process.

                                A good start to the year for a budget phone like this. There will be lots of good Chinese phones, especially budget ones, that are worthy of review.

                                  Interesting rebrand.
