Poco X6 review

11 January 2024



So I downloaded 3dmark and I'm shocked to find that my X3 Pro is still faster than this X6?!😔 I thought the X6 or X6 Pro would be a nice upgrade as I want OIS and brighter more saturated display.

    Absurd Poco is charging more for the x6 Pro despite poorer in the 3dmark stress test. The X6 has 3.5mm jack over the Pro.

            How do the camera shots fair against those of the F5? Currently debating whether to get either... and no the realme series is not available for me.

                There are lot of people who purchase phones based on suggestions by some known person.
                That person can easily recommend a good phone but how to use it perfectly would depend on user himself & most people still don't understand beyond a certain level.

                Also this problem is not limited to just Poco/Xiaomi,other chinese brands (excluding Moto,OnePlus) do more or less the same.

                          I think it's misconceived to say 'Dolby Vision OLED'. AFAIK there is no Dolby Vision hardware specification for consumer grade devices, but instead it refers to the device's capability of interpreting dynamic HDR content in Dolby Vision format. And thus this matters only when playing Dolby Vision content. The cameras on the device themselves are not Dolby Vision - they record in SDR (8-bit).

                            Would anyone buy a decent camera and chuck it away after a couple of years? That's how I feel about phone cameras, as long as it's decent that's good enough for me. I buy a smartphone for all its other features, not to take happy snaps just to post on social media which is what the majority of people do. A good screen, battery and processor are my priorities, the camera is just a convenience and the vast majority of camera phones are 'good enough' for that purpose.

                                  It's 2024 already, and I can't take anymore excuses from bad cameras.

                                    Anders, 11 Jan 2024https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2197687/poco-x6-5g-revi... moreSD 7s Gen 2 is like a re-release than a entirely new thing. 7+ Gen 2 looking sexy btw

                                      Why are people crying about the battery life? It's not THAT bad I mean the only thing that's bad is the video playback score. The gaming score is close enough with the A54, like 40 mins and it's not bad, close to the Oneplus 11 as well. The talk time and web browsing are better than the A54. As GSM said it's "average", it gets the job done.
                                      The worst part for me is the ads in this phone, 90% of people who buy this won't know how to turn them off and they'll get blasted by them left and right. Otherwise it's a fine phone, 7/10, but based on GSM's inflated ratings, ta least a 4/5.

                                        chocowii, 11 Jan 2024Finally, my A52s can now rest. No, because 7s gen 2 isn't as good as 778g. Performance wise, this processor sits between 6 gen 1 and 7 gen 1, but with efficiency worse than 778g.
                                        Also camera is worse than A52s and there's no waterproofing
