    I don't understand the charging features on this phone.
    In battery settings --> additional features, there are 2 options:
    - speed up charging ("connect the supplied charger to speed up charging when the screen is off and battery is low").
    - boost charging speed ("turn on to speed up the charging process. This feature will prioritize charging speed while ensuring your device's safety").
    I toggle on both of them, but I don't understand why there are two options? Look similar descriptions to me.

    Another point, can someone help me with a correct color scheme choice? Now I have "advanced settings P3 color gamut". I find it the best to my eyes. "Vivid" and "Saturated" options look like Samsung phones, with too much pop-up in colors. And "Original color Pro" looks too washed out (maybe this last option is the best in color reproduction, but no so good in watching videos or gaming).
    So, what color scheme you guys using? I think this question goes with every Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco phones, as these color scheme descriptions are part of Hyper OS.

              The battery endurance has improved significantly on the last Stock EU update.

                Many are complaining about battery life but fail to realise they're comparing usage of older devices with very mature OS's like MIUI versus HyperOS which is still new and receiving regular updates.

                If that's your hold back point then get a POCO F2 Pro on 12.5.6, most MIUI and HyperOS devices can't beat it's battery life and AnTuTu score, until then, the POCO F6 is an excellent device.

                Yes it needs some work in the camera department but the rest is good for its PRICE POINT.

                The range isn't meant for people who can easily afford an S24 Ultra.

                        And just to stay on topic, 99% of phones that go beyond 1080p offer an option to choose what screen resolution you want. Literally NOBODY is forcing you to use anything you don't want to use. And besides that, people mostly buy phones based on their general performance not minor things like screen resolution (with few exceptions obviously) so your whole conspiracy theory falls flat from the start lmao

                          native resolution should never be over 1080p !!!

                          All manufacturers do this marketing trap to force people buying a new phone in a short time (in the past they used to put small battery as trick) ... now they added fast charging and higher screen resolution.

                          Alk they want is your money and not your satisfaction !

                                  I might be wrong but,I wonder if the DISPLAY is the biggest reason why the phone's battery drained out so fast.

                                  Like,the phone got a 68B(12-bit display)colors and also Dolby Vision,not to mention that it got a 1.5K resolution too.

                                  Well who knows,many Xiaomi phones I've seen that got their battery drain out faster than their competitors,and most of them have the same 68B,Dolby Vision and 1.5K resolutioned AMOLED display

                                        Just got my F6 (12gb/512gb) few days ago and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
                                        Compared to my MOTOROLA EGDE 20 pro (12gb/256gb) It doesn't show the big differences that show in their specs.

                                        Gonna find out wether the Motorola is just an amazing phone or that the Poco is just not what it promised to be.

                                        Btw: on all geekbench scores the F6 scored somewhat to considerably higher then their own test scores. So that's allright.
