POCO X6 Pro Review - Gaming For Less Doesn't Get Any BETTER Than This! 

Thank you there are far better reviews on YT. But thanks for watching.

We know him from so many years ago. He is hands down the most technical viewer and has no fear to call companies out. He is humble enough not to admit this but TechTablets waste none of his viewers time. If you want a phone and want the most technical reviews he is the best. And i would choose flossy as the best non technical reviewer

Oh don't be so modest. We here know you're the best. @@Techtablets

Glad you enjoy it!

what is props? props(properties from react) 😄

​@@Eswar.respect to xiaomi.

Bro can't speak English like fr

@@Ambatufakingnatsorry I’m not understanding what he did wrong. You can clearly understand what he said

90% screen to body ratio

Also the king of Motherboard issue

@@ElvisChibundu we don't know that yet, only X3 Pro was having that problem, none of the successors do

​@@ElvisChibundupoco f3, f4, f5, x5 pro dont have that problem

It's only for Indian users though I think they also fixed it since Poco x3 pro ​@@ElvisChibundu

​@@ElvisChibundustop going about showing your stupidity

Thank you kindly

​You didn't turn on fps meter in developer options. And slide edge game turbo fps meter was fake.

Yep it's right on ther marketing train and also on the plastic cover wrapped around the phone claiming "64mp triple camera

This is where Honor does better than Xiaomi. Their budget phones offer only two cameras. They drop the macro camera to allocate the budget for a better ultrawide camera sensor and lens. The result is a well-balanced camera system that lacks nothing because macro camera is barely even used at all, and is totally not worth it, since zooming from the main sensor provides much better quality images than what you can get out of the 2mp macro camera.

we rly only need 1 except for different focal lengths

My poco x5 pro works pretty well so I assume poco x6 pro should be good too.

The speed is determined by the chipset (which is good in X6 and great for Pro) and it's using the fresh HyperOS, so it should be great.

@@justjuniorjawCome on, HyperOS is MIUI with a face wash...

It's flagship level smooth 100%

@@Techtablets great! Tnx a ton

Has standby battery drain improved?

Glad to help!

Very, i'm really impressed with how fast and smooth everything is for this price it is hard to beat!

How's performance so far and battery life?

How is it going after 2 weeks?

Answer bro

I'll answer. From India and I bought this phone last week for the equivalent of 316.8 USD. After using it for a full week I can safely say this is the best phone I have ever used, especially in the price bracket. It technically is the best value for money phone IN THE WORLD in the Top 20 of the Antutu benchmark list due to the price to score ratio, giving you flagship performance for throwaway prices. The PROS: 1. Amazing user experience, fast and responsive and HyperOS gives you a lot of control if you take time to go through it deeply. You can easily uninstall bloatware and shut off system apps that are not needed and never hear from them again. The UI is really clean and minimalistic and it's beautiful really. IOS UI with Android customizability and control. Perfect! The fingerprint sensor is super responsive and never gave me an issue either. Also yes, the lack of a proximity sensor doesn't seem to have any negative impact since the screen ALWAYS shut off whenever I picked up a call so no worries there. 2. Superb battery life if you actually know how to optimize apps and take the time to restrict apps from running in the background using the settings menu. It has a great in-built Memory Booster and you can set the phone to automatically clear RAM and cache after you lock the phone, greatly improving battery life. In my multiple tests under different scenarios I got the following results: a. Out of the box, first full charge - 42 hours with battery saver mode turned on from 80% and medium usage b. Heavy usage with 5G, Wifi, calls, photos and videos - over 34 hours with 15% battery remaining with Battery Saver mode on from 20% c. Heavy usage with long screen on time, medium gaming yesterday and normal to medium usage today, all with 5G on - 28 hours All tests above were with 120Hz on for all apps all the time, except some rare moments when the battery was really low. So if you use the memory cleaner button before locking your phone, or just clear all apps from the background using the normal menu button clear, in addition to disabling background autostart for non-essential apps and restricting background apps, the battery life is really great. Also, I use Nova Launcher which seems to use less battery than the default Poco Launcher so that seems to help too. I also use an animated wallpaper with lots of pure black areas so that takes advantage of the AMOLED screen and saves battery. All these things add up. Charging time is as advertised with minor variations. Super fast in my experience, coming from a phone that took 3 hours to charge. NOTE: The in built Battery manager in the Security App gives excellent one tap recommendations that you can pick and choose in case you are seeing battery drain and wanna save it. Like restricting 5G usage when not needed or turning off draining apps with 1 tap. I have the shortcut on my home screen and make good use of it. It even tells you how much time you will get by doing those optimizations. 3. Camera - Pretty good for the specs, takes pretty nice pics automatically without much adjustment, using HDR. Videos are ok, haven't tested them by opening on a big screen. Night pics came out brighter and nicer than expected and day pics are great anyway. No real complaints. 4. Future proof phone - I have the 12 GB, 512 GB variant and with UFS 4 and DDR5X RAM (which can be pushed to 20 GB with Virtual RAM), what more could one ask for in this price range? This far exceeds what any other phone is providing in this range and even in higher brackets. All other phones with these features are around double the cost if not more. It's basically magic. :) I won't have to worry about performance or slowdowns for years now. Plus you get 3 more Android version updates for the next 3 to 4 years. Crazy. 5. Display - BEAUTIFUL EFFING DISPLAY!!! SUPER CRISP AND CLEAR!! NO WORDS!! Also speakers are full and amazing!! I love this phone and would recommend it to anyone who is not hyperfocused on being a professional photographer and if you are then you're better off buying a DSLR anyway with the money you will save buying this phone haha. Like why would you not buy this phone, it's a no brainer and is quite literally the best value for money phone in the world right now. If you are looking to save money but get the flagship experience, go for it! PS: As you might have noticed, I didn't add any cons since I really can't find any that are big enough to match the pros. Actually almost zero issues or inconveniences in my 1 week experience. Slight heat up if you play games while charging but that's just expected so no complaints.

Yeah it's only good in perfect conditions it's actually very hit and miss. Cameras are not great with this model. It's about the screen and performance over everything else.

Good to know! Thanks @@Techtablets

​@@Techtabletsso the weakest part of this phone is the camera?

Higher resolution display, worth it imo

You will not be able to run third party launchers like Nova

@@neonred869 Really are you sure? That's a big drawback.

@@neonred869 whaaat!?!?!?! Are u sure? I was planning to do the same!

Samsung Dex is also a big plus for S series. I don't understand how new phones just skip hdmi out. Lack of microsd slot is criminal too.

See what you can get on other online sites, here in Singapore I just purchased it for the equivalent of 310 Euro

EU will always be more expensive quite significantly than Asia for some reason.

Yes crazy good power for the price.

hyper os is better then miui

​@@TechtabletsI'm gonna ask here. 1) have you reviewed the Redmi K70 yet. If so how do you compare to this phone. Great review btw

if the camera is important to you, you should buy the redmi note 13 pro 5g for 2 reasons: 1)the main camera uses a samsung sensor vs the x6 pro which uses an omnivision one 2)to maximise image quality you should use a modified google camera app on a custom rom. mediatek chips can have issues with gcam as elucidated by celso azevedo, "Assuming you did everything right (tested all package names and made sure that the auxiliary cameras setting is enabled), it's possible that your phone completely blocks access to all cameras. Unfortunately some brands (eg: OPPO, Realme) are very restrictive and using a special package name doesn't work. Other brands allow access on some, but not all hardware. For example, OnePlus devices with Snapdragon SoC/processors allow users to access all cameras (with a package name) while OnePlus devices with Mediatek don't (eg: many of the OnePlus Nord phones). The only fix for this is to use a custom ROM not based on the stock/original ROM (eg: ColorOS, OxygenOS, MIUI, etc) as they don't limit access or need specific package names."

Poco X6 Pro

true, but i don't remember he ever done emulation test

mediatek doesnt support emulator, youre in the wrong spot. i suggest poco f5 cause it has dragon thingy

@@jakabudiman5124 youre wrong. It does support it.

I bought the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ over 3 months ago for $329. To replace my Poco X3 GT had it for over 2 years. Now I'm thinking about buying the Redmi K70E same as the Poco X6 Pro for a second phone. On sale now for $329. Great Deal. I live in Chicago USA.

Those are placeholder prices. Oficiial prices will update very soon. Its gonna be about $300 USD

@@chucknorris8704 thanks. now i see it, $303 with an online store here.

It's exactly 1000 because it's just a temp price point for its release. The actual price will be $360 for the best version and under.

Global version should be Google dialer

indian market issue

Idk but it's not happen in my country..

I suggest you to buy overseas because the motherboard issue only happened on India manufactured x/m 3 series

Yes.. just like in miui..

Lol

Poco X6 but then I prefer the Samsung OneIU over MIUI for POCO.

@@Techtablets I heard the Poco X6 will receive the new Hyper OS update soon which apparently is much lighter and has better performance. But as you said it's the issue of which UI you prefer.

Neither they can give charger in the box

$339 for 512gb

About 310 euros.

yeah, i want to see how different they are when compared side by side

Yoo I've also had it since 2 october 2021 and its been in perfect condition since then, might switc to x6 pro if mine ever gave up

Emulador tests got me some copyright strikes last time.

i went from poco to Realme. They give you more updates. Poco reacts to market and puts all the time new and new products. Also i do not like mediatek chips i like snapdragon.
