Xiaomi Poco M6 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Poco M6 Pro - new rules in the price segment

What are smartphones usually like at the border of the lower and middle price categories? Many fans of mobile electronics will say that they are simplified in terms of design, functionality, and performance. But the Chinese company Xiaomi does not agree with such statements and simply refutes them with the magnificent hero of today’s review.

The appearance of the new product is noticeably better than that of most opponents. The thinner display frames with a built-in fingerprint scanner are pleasing to the eye, and it’s hard not to fall in love with the beautiful textures of the back panels, made of high-quality matte polycarbonate. The camera block hardly protrudes from the body, which has a positive effect on the attractiveness of the exterior. The 6.67-inch AMOLED panel is far from the simplest. It is characterized by FullHD+ resolution, a flagship 120 Hz image refresh rate and a maximum brightness exceeding 1300 nits.

The technical specifications are also not disappointing. The updated MediaTek Helio G99 Ultra processor with 8GB/12GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC2 video accelerator still scores the same 400 thousand points in the AnTuTu benchmark, but its energy efficiency has become higher. From a 5100 mAh battery it is not difficult to get up to ten hours of active screen time. In addition, the battery has an impressive charging power of 67W, reducing the time spent at the outlet to 30-35 minutes. As for the gaming capabilities, you can even try out resource-intensive projects like Fortnite and Honkai: Star Rail, but the graphic settings will have to be reduced almost to a minimum. The permanent memory size of 256/512GB can be expanded with MicroSD cards.

The photo capabilities of the phablet have significantly advanced when compared with its predecessors. If the 8-megapixel wide-angle module and 2-megapixel portrait sensor are far from ideal, then the 64-megapixel camera from Omnivision with optical stabilization allows you to count not only such detailed daytime shots, but also successful evening photo shoots. Of course, the pictures will not be completely free from noise and blur, but there will be no shame in posting them on a social network without any editing. Stereo sound is not particularly loud, but at the same time balanced in its frequency response. NFC contactless payments, IR port for on-site control of home appliances, expected in the future and HyperOS OS to replace MIUI. Thus, the device will definitely sell millions of copies around the world.
