Xiaomi Poco X6 Neo Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Poco X6 Neo is a great option for those who like to save money

For a fairly large percentage of people, a smartphone is a mobile assistant designed for communication, watching videos, listening to music, and surfing the web. A relatively inexpensive phone can cope with such tasks, but it’s always nice when an affordable device is able to provide additional functionality, performance, and a beautiful design. The hero of today's review refers specifically to such devices.

The appearance of the new product is very good, albeit somewhat secondary. Thus, the already released Infinix Zero 30 5G has a similar exterior. But is it worth criticizing because of this an interesting dual camera unit, a convenient side-mounted fingerprint scanner, not the widest screen frames and a neat peephole of the 16-megapixel front photo module? Of course not. The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen is great for the price segment. Individual pixels cannot be seen at FullHD+ resolution; excellent picture smoothness is achieved thanks to the 120 Hz refresh rate. There is a decent reserve of brightness and realistic color rendition.

The technical characteristics are not bad, although far from ideal. MediaTek Dimensity 6080 CPU, 6GB/8GB RAM, Mali G57MC2 graphics adapter - this is a bundle that scores more than 350,000 points in the AnTuTu benchmark. Jitter will definitely bypass the Android 13 interface, and most gaming projects will delight you with smooth gameplay. Unfortunately, their number will only nominally include Fortnite, Genshin Impact and other resource-intensive analogues. The processor's energy efficiency is fine. A 5000mAh battery will rarely provide less than 8-10 hours of active screen time. The charging power was 33W, so you won’t have to stay at the outlet for an insanely long time. The size of the permanent memory can be 128 or 256GB, which can be expanded with MicroSD cards.

The 108-megapixel photosensor from Samsung lacks optical stabilization, and the 2-megapixel auxiliary depth sensor does not have a significant impact on the quality of photographic material. However, the resulting footage still cannot be seriously criticized. Daytime photographs are rich, detailed, and the amount of blur tends to a minimum. For successful evening photo shoots, it is recommended to pay attention to more expensive camera phones. There are no stereo speakers, so you can only truly enjoy your favorite music with headphones. But for wired headsets, the developer has provided a special connector. We also note the presence of an infrared port for controlling household appliances, NFC contactless payments, and support for 5G networks. Thus, as a result we have an extremely competitive gadget without critical disadvantages.
