Love Mobile Gaming? You’ll Need To Choose The Right Processor!
For gamers, a smartphone's chipset performance largely determines how smooth your gaming experience is. Therefore, when choosing a phone, it’s imperative that you select a model that has a stronger chip performance.
The most well-known chipsets nowadays are the Qualcomm Snapdragon chips. Their flagship 8-series chips can handle almost all types of games, making them the ideal choice for mobile gamers.
In the previous generation F5, POCO used the well-regarded Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chip, which stood out among mid-range phones with its decent performance and power efficiency. However, the F6 takes a different approach: instead of using a mid-range Snapdragon 7 series chip, it takes the phone to another level by adopting the top-tier Snapdragon 8s Gen 3!
As Qualcomm's latest 8-series chip, the 8s Gen 3 shares many similarities with the current top-performing Android chip, the 8 Gen 3, not just in name but also in features. Like its brother, it also significantly enhances AI performance for efficient photo and video processing, which is an important thing to look out for given the increasing number of AI applications nowadays.
Now, while the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 might not be as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it still achieved a 1.53 million benchmark score on AnTuTu, which makes it a true flagship chipset and one of the top 3 in best performing Android chipsets. This powerful performance means it can easily handle anything you throw at it, whether it's gaming, photography, video watching, or work, ensuring a super-fast response speed and unrestricted enjoyment!
Stay Cool While You Game!
Experienced gamers know that great chip performance is just a baseline when it comes to selecting a reliable gaming companion.
If the smartphone’s heat dissipation is inadequate, then prolonged gaming sessions will lead to overheating and lag, causing problems at critical moments. To address this, the POCO F6 is equipped with the new WildBoost 3.0 and LiquidCool Technology 4.0, allowing it to fully unleash its potential.
In actual tests with large 3D games, the POCO F6, through excellent performance scheduling, not only achieves more stable frame rates but also lower power consumption, effectively preventing sudden frame drops and lag that could impact the gaming experience. Players can enjoy their games without worrying about performance issues.
Sick of latency and slow touch response? The POCO F6 has got your back, both in-game and out! It has also implemented full-chain speed improvements for touch and response, ensuring that your phone will never hold you back again.
Sweet Spot 1.5K Screen: Beautiful and Power-Efficient!
Staring at a small screen every day means that you’re going to want a really good screen for the best gaming and viewing experience. This is especially true for "visual enthusiasts" who demand exceptional display quality, and the POCO F6's upgraded 1.5K CrystalRes display offers the perfect solution!
The 1.5K screen displays text and images with greater clarity, and enabling high image quality in games delivers an unprecedented ultra-clear gaming experience, maximizing immersion.
However, with great display comes great power consumption, but not with the POCO F6. The 1.5K CrystalRes uses just a bit more power than 1080P while delivering close to WQHD+ level detail. As a "sweet spot" display option without compromise, the 1.5K CrystalRes satisfies the demanding requirements of both power efficiency and screen detail.
90W TurboCharge + 5000mAh Battery: Say Goodbye to Mobile Gaming Battery Anxiety
The high power consumption of games often forces players to stay tethered to chargers, dragging charging cables while playing, leading to a poor gaming experience. This is where fast charging and a large battery become crucial!
The POCO F6 boasts a built-in 5000mAh large battery and combined with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3's ultra-low power consumption, it easily lasts a full day, eliminating the need to carry a power bank.
Besides that, the POCO F6 also features the new 90W TurboCharge technology. If you suddenly find your phone's battery running low before heading out, just 10 minutes of charging will revitalize your phone, ensuring a worry-free departure.
As the "golden combination" for phone battery life, the 5000mAh battery and 90W TurboCharge achieve an excellent balance, offering both long-lasting endurance and impressive charging speed.
Moreover, the POCO F6's battery technology has been further upgraded, focusing on low-temperature, long-lasting battery life and extended lifespan. Even after thousands of cycles, its capacity remains above 90%, making it a true blessing for heavy gamers.
The POCO F6 has seen some impressive upgrades compared to its predecessor. Not only has the new flagship chip delivered a significant performance leap, but the addition of WildBoost 3.0 and LiquidCool Technology 4.0 further enhances the F6's gaming stability, making it ideal for gamers.
So, if you're planning to upgrade your phone soon, be sure to look out for POCO’s new offering!
