Join me as we unbox the POCO M6 5G to see what accessories are inside!
The packaging of the POCO M6 5G still adopts the dominant yellow color tone like other products from POCO. Thus, at first glance, it's easy to recognize this as a POCO product. Additionally, the front of the packaging clearly prints the device name in large fonts, making it difficult to mistake it for other products.

Inside the packaging of the POCO M6 5G, you'll find all the essential accessories such as: a flexible case, fast charger, user manual, and SIM ejector tool. This means users don't need to spend extra time or money to purchase external accessories.

Hands-on with POCO M6 5G featuring a youthful, dynamic design
The POCO M6 5G is launched with a design that doesn't have much difference from the POCO M6 Pro 5G, a product introduced by POCO not long ago. The frame of the device is crafted in a square shape similar to many other mid-range products, with a premium plastic finish. Therefore, the feel of holding the device in hand, as shared by the YouTube channel Prasadtechintelugu, is very sturdy.

The frame of the POCO M6 5G is diagonally cut at the corners and edges, so when people hold the product in their hands, they won't be prone to getting hurt. Turning to the back, the back of the device is made flat and finished from premium plastic. Additionally, the surface on the back is made in a matte finish to somewhat mitigate sweat and fingerprint marks.

Furthermore, the POCO M6 5G comes in 2 colors for you to choose from: Black, and youthful Blue. Each version also has eye-catching line patterns that can change depending on different angles of light.

A standout feature in the design of the POCO M6 5G comes from the camera cluster occupying nearly half of the rear surface, similar to other products from the brand, especially the POCO M6 Pro 5G model. However, a slight difference from the premium version is that the flash is designed to be smaller.

The physical buttons and connection ports of the POCO M6 5G are positioned in very familiar locations to allow users to quickly familiarize themselves with the device. For specific details, please refer to the images below.




Turning to the front, the POCO M6 5G uses a waterdrop-style display instead of a punch-hole. This doesn't demand too much considering the price of around $150. However, the bezels around the screen are kept reasonably thick, combined with the 6.74-inch size, providing users with a relatively spacious and comfortable viewing space.

Regarding display quality, the POCO M6 5G operates on an IPS LCD panel, with HD+ resolution (1,600 x 720 pixels), and a maximum brightness of 450 nits. These are good specifications suitable for a phone priced around $150. According to YouTuber Trakin Tech, the POCO M6 5G's display will still deliver clear images and vibrant colors. An added bonus of this device is its 90 Hz refresh rate, providing smooth touch interactions.
