Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro 5G is the head of the price segment

The sub-brand of the Chinese company Xiaomi called Poco is famous for its incredibly balanced smartphones, which every year invariably win millions of hearts around the world. The X-series of phones has been especially successful in this matter, flawlessly combining technology, functionality and low price. The hero of today's review is precisely the new representative of this line.

The new product definitely looks more expensive than its price tag. The designers were able to achieve this result thanks to a modern triple photomodule, thin display frames, and strict and stylish colors of glass back panels. Only the plastic edging of the ergonomic body separates the exterior of the gadget from that of other flagships. The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen will appeal to even experienced users. It combines an excellent resolution of 2712x1220 pixels, an impressive brightness reserve of 1800 nits, a 120 Hz refresh rate and a fairly accurate built-in fingerprint scanner. The color rendition is also good, there is an oleophobic coating.

Perhaps the most significant change in the device compared to its predecessor was the performance of technical specifications. The latest MediaTek Dimensity 8300 CPU scores significantly more than 1,000,000 points in the AnTuTu benchmark, which allows us to recommend the unit in question even to demanding gamers. The chipset, together with 8GB/12GB/16GB of RAM and the Mali G615MC6 video adapter, copes with projects such as Genshin Impact, Diablo Immortal no worse than last year’s flagship counterparts. You don’t have to be afraid to set high and even maximum graphics presets. The volume of permanent memory has been increased to 256/512/1024GB of ROM; there is no slot for MicroSD cards.

The main 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B photo module has long been used in low-cost devices, but its combination with hybrid stabilization helps achieve much better achievements. Even evening photographs are not replete with noise or blur, although in terms of detail they are noticeably inferior to daytime frames. The 8-megapixel wide-angle lens and 2-megapixel macro camera are very simple, and you can hardly praise them for their photo quality. But autonomy is excellent, because a 5500 mAh battery is responsible for it. For a couple of days you can forget about power banks, and fast charging with a power of 67W will reduce the process of staying at the outlet to an hour. Of course, a high-tech phablet could not do without loud stereo sound with a frequency response pleasant to the ear. Contactless NFC payments, an infrared port for controlling household appliances, a modified HyperOS shell based on Android 14 and an affordable price list will be other reasons to take a closer look at the future bestseller.
