LoneOwl, 23 May 2024Very bad move by Poco to lower the battery and up the resolution compared to F5 pro. No wonde... moreBrightness is harder to achieve in higher resolution. The Chinese manufacturers are able to achieve higher brightness on on 1.5k screens than on 2k ones. The brightness is almost exactly the same as last year's Xiaomi 13 ultra in both manual and auto brightness modes so it's not bad for a 2k screen. The auto brightness is also almost on par with the Xiaomi 14 ultra. The Xiaomi 14 ultra has increased the manual brightness this year though. Overall, I don't think the brightness is bad considering it's on par with last year's top flagship model

Of course No buy Nobody Cares.
ashrobb, 23 May 2024do regular poco f6!They've probably been told to release this one first and then the regular one later by Xiaomi. These things are often dictated by the companies
Like all of Xiaomi's recent models, battery life is poor. I think it's the lack of optimisation, as it's across both Qualcomm and MediaTek models.
An older version of Gorilla Glass and inferior IP protection compared to the F6? That's just weird. It's likely a consequence of the expensive Qualcomm chip.
The colours in the first photo of the Asian looking building are terrible. Like Motorola, Xiaomi appears to have trouble optimising OmniVision sensors. Maybe it should stick to Sony. From my experience, Xiaomi doesn't tend to refine its phones with updates; it just adds a new security patch every 3-4 months, so what you get now is as good as it'll get.
Eric20, 23 May 2024Not impressed by the main camera sensor. 😒It seems like more of a small refinement over the F5 Pro so it's not exactly impressive by any means, but the drastic reduction in post processing i.e. sharpening/NR makes it a much better camera than the F5 Pro, especially in portrait mode. Details like skin texture and hair are rendered way more authentically in F6 Pro's portrait mode while the F5 Pro smears much of the detail with NR even in good lighting and adds sharpening to try to compensate.

Very bad move by Poco to lower the battery and up the resolution compared to F5 pro.
No wonder battery life dropped that much.
Also i expected way more in terms of brightness. How the hell does F6 pro lose to Poco X6??
Last but not least, not a fan of the back design and lets not forget that they dropped the wireless charging Poco F5 pro had.
The phone overall isnt bad for the current early bird pricing.
You guys didn't think the much better priced OnePlus 12R is an alternative?! :)
Shouldn't S23/s23+ also be in the competition seeing as they have the same 8gen2 and the price is similar and the software support left is similar too?
What is up with that battery score? Is it the unnecessary resolution on the screen or just unoptimized OS?
