POCO has always been synonymous with formidable performance, striking design, and great value. In an ever-evolving and highly competitive smartphone industry, POCO is keen on staying at the forefront. To do this, they’ve started off the new year with a bang by introducing the highly anticipated POCO X6 Series offering major upgrades and leaving virtually no room for competitors!
According to POCO, the POCO X6 series is a "comprehensive evolution," with substantial performance and user experience upgrades. Rumour has it that it is also highly competitive—but how, exactly? Let’s delve deeper!
Global Debut of the Dimensity 8300-Ultra Chip
The POCO X6 Pro, is the world's first device to feature the Dimensity 8300-Ultra chip, the latest flagship chipset from MediaTek manufactured with TSMC's 4nm process. This signifies a leap forward in performance, especially with an impressive AnTuTu benchmark score exceeding 1.46 million. The chipset catapults the POCO X6 Pro to new heights, establishing a record as the highest score in POCO's history.
With AI at the forefront of the digital industry, the smartphone’s AI computing capabilities are also very important. Beyond the raw power, the Dimensity 8300-Ultra chip exhibits formidable AI capabilities akin to the Dimensity 9300, allowing the POCO X6 Pro to handle photography and video-editing like a piece of cake!
Besides that, the POCO X6 Pro also incorporates the upgraded WildBoost Optimization 2.0 technology. This technology enables precise power and memory scheduling, enhancing overall performance while conserving energy. Additionally, the device comes pre-installed with the new Xiaomi Hyper OS system providing deeper-level optimisation, heightened system smoothness, and improved motion effects, delivering an immersive user experience!
Enhanced Flow AMOLED Screen for Crisper Display
Previously, POCO has already garnered acclaim with their Flow AMOLED screens. Retaining the acclaimed Flow AMOLED screen from the previous generation, the POCO X6 Pro has virtually eliminated bezels, achieving an almost complete "full-screen" appearance.
Building on the success of its predecessor, the POCO X6 Pro has been upgraded to CrystalRes resolution. This upgrade results in a super-sharp 1.5K resolution, balancing power consumption and image quality. It can provide a WQHD+ standard while only using a little more power than a 1080P screen would, ensuring prolonged use without rapid battery depletion.
Besides that, the high-quality display is further complemented by a peak brightness of 1800 nits, ensuring convenient outdoor usage with stunning colours and brightness. Now, staring at bright phones all day long isn’t the best for your eyesight, but the POCO X6 Pro addresses eye fatigue by introducing a DC dimming eye protection mode.
Lastly, the device incorporates the much-loved in-screen fingerprint sensor for enhanced convenience.
Large Battery, Fast Charging – Endurance Without Anxiety
Beneath the hood of robust configurations, battery life is fundamental for prolonged operation. After all, no matter how powerful your phone is, it’s nothing but a brick with wires when it’s out of battery. In this regard, the POCO X6 Pro rises to the occasion with a large-capacity battery and fast charging!
Where most smartphone manufacturers opt to reduce battery capacity and bring up charging speed, the POCO X6 Pro maintains a strong but sweet balance. 5000mAh with 67W turbocharging is the perfect sweet spot when it comes to battery and charging combination—and that’s exactly what the POCO X6 Prohas. With this phone, you can bid farewell to battery anxiety and enjoy a worry-free smartphone experience all day long!
The X6 Pro marks the debut of the 67W turbocharging on the base model, ensuring a full charge in approximately 45 minutes. This rapid charging capability guarantees a full day of usage without the nagging concern of running out of battery.
POCO X6 5G: A Mid-Range Marvel!
The POCO X6 series also consists of the POCO X6 5G, with the main difference being the processor. It features the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip, offering equally impressive performance. As one of the most anticipated mid-range processors in 2024, the chipset employs advanced 4nm technology, yielding an impressive AnTuTu score exceeding 640K—an impressive 30% improvement over its predecessor.
In real-world gaming experiences, especially evident in graphics-intensive games like FreeFire, the POCO X6 5G maintains a full-frame gaming experience at high graphics settings. Therefore, this is a great choice for gaming enthusiasts seeking a mid-range phone.
In terms of battery, the POCO X6 5G boasts a 5100mAh large-capacity battery and the same 67W fast charging technology, just like the POCO X6 Pro!
Both models in the POCO X6 series feature a robust 64 MP with OIS camera system, delivering an outstanding photography experience comparable to flagship models in the market.
Most significantly, beneath the powerful and versatile configurations, the POCO X6 series boasts surprisingly competitive pricing—a little birdy tells us that it could range between $300-$350, making flagship features more accessible to everyone!
Truly, it lives up to its name of a “flagship gatekeeper”, leaving no room for competitors!
