battery life is a meh,obviously xiaomi can't optimise its bloatware recently because other brands with this chipset gets way better endurance

    I really like Xiaomi's processing here, in some midrangers they oversharpen and stuff but here they left it relatively intact. This means even though the sensor is "only" 1/1.55" it feels bigger/it has a natural look to it. Take a look at a Samsung phone shot and you'll see what I mean. Oversharpening and aggressive noise reduction leads to a "small phone camera" vibe.

    A 1/3.06" or bigger UW cam would just make the next year's Poco F7 Pro a solid deal. The chipset is nice, the camera processing is nice, 2x is resepctable, the display is nice and a UW cam would make the camera well rounded. Xiaomi just needs to work on the battery front. the phone is less efficient than it should be.

          JustJr, 24 May 2024Immediately went to the battery and it's as I expected... moreYou should go to 13T. Better in many areas, less in pure power.

            At launching price, it seems that the Poco X6 Pro is a much better buy than F6 Pro. Much lower price, still very good performance, better more unique design, brighter screen, and better battery life

              If they released it in india i guess nobody gonna buy it just for aluminum frame when iqoo 9 pro is there for cheaper price and has better brand value than poco these days..

                Battery life compared to X6 Pro is pretty horrible.. This is a skip.

                  And people were raving about this phone far outclassing the X6 Pro, when in reality it's just slightly better than that lmao

                    quite good and quite expensive... the most expensive phone from Poco. LTPO would really help battery life but Xiaomi doesn't make it.

                      Go for Tecno Camon 30 Premier instead. While it cant toe to toe with performance (900k vs 1.5m antutu), its basically the same on everyday use. The only thing you can see its difference if you are playing video games. But the camera of the Tecno has 50 mp main, 50 mp telephoto x3, 50mp wide with AF, and 50mp front cam with again, AF.

                      Trust me, a 900k antutu points is = to 1.5M+ antutu in day to day usage. No difference,

                          Immediately went to the battery and it's as I expected. With greater power comes faster battery drain. The F6 should be better here.

                          Can't wait for the F6 review! Even though the F6 is in my 3rd choice, at least it's not as bad as my previous assumptions. I'm looking for a more well rounded offering (ala Tecno Camon 30 Pro and Xiaomi 13T being my 1st and 2nd choice atm), and I wouldn't even mind going for the A55.

                            Another stupid 2mp macro.....

                            What happened to their 5mp telemacro?

                            2021 was Xiaomi special.

                              Another day, another Xiaomi with unoptimised battery life.

                              What makes it worse is that this chip is very power efficient.

                              Cherry on top is base S23 with a much smaller battery, having better battery life.

                              Xiaomi really doesn't care at all nowdays, they need to be replaced I guess.

                                Xiaomi's battery optimization nowadays is POOOR

                                Hyper os is really HYPER

                                  Its ugly

                                    I think this has improved on the major weakness of the Poco F5 pro which was the main camera. At least know there is a good main camera. At this price when you get a powered chip and 2k screen I think it's acceptable to just have a good main camera. The battery life is average but with the high resolution screen, snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and average battery size by recent standards, that is to be expected. 120w charging compensates somewhat for this though. A very solid phone

                                      Weak battery life, maybe because the inefficient display and software. But this $500 offers more display resolution than Sony flagship

Do clients in China believe all the fa... moreI don't know what you mean by 'mainly Huawei' but the type of consumers who are active on weibo forums and on review comments seem to be often more knowledgeable than those on sites like this. Some of the Chinese reviewers are much more knowledgeable about phones than the English language reviewers and they point out things that are never pointed out on sites like this. There is also more just way more details available on Chinese websites about the phones and their components so it is easier to get access to detailed info. Therefore, plenty of commenters are not fooled at all by exaggerated claims by manufacturers. You often also see reviews from purchasers complaining on phones not living up to manufacturer claims. However, the average consumer, the same as in any country doesn't spend a lot of time researching phones so it would be completely different for the average consumer. A lot of average consumers are unlikely to be even aware of some of the manufacturers claims in the first place I think. Most claims though are based on their own lab tests so maybe certain things that are claimed can be achieved in lab tests with manipulated settings
