POCO X6 Pro features a sleek square design, providing a firm and youthful grip

POCO X6 Pro is crafted with a sturdy plastic frame, weighing only about 198 grams, not only durable but also allowing users to hold the device neatly and securely in hand. Additionally, the frame edges of POCO X6 Pro are designed square with a youthful touch, slightly curved at the edges, ensuring users' hands won't get tired after prolonged use.

Moreover, the back of POCO X6 Pro is flat with slight curvature at the edges, providing a very comfortable grip. However, because POCO X6 Pro uses glossy glass material for the back, it tends to accumulate sweat and fingerprints if you use it bare without a case.

Simultaneously, the camera cluster is the most prominent highlight of the POCO X6 Pro design. The lenses and flash are encapsulated in a large rectangular frame with the POCO logo alongside to enhance brand recognition.

On the frame, the physical buttons and ports of POCO X6 Pro are positioned similarly to many other POCO or Xiaomi products, making it easy for people to familiarize themselves with the product quickly. Specifically, the right edge of the device houses the power button and volume rocker; meanwhile, the top and bottom edges feature the charging port, SIM tray, speaker grille, and microphone.

On the front, POCO X6 Pro still adopts the familiar hole-punch screen design seen in many smartphone segments. However, unlike many other competitors in the same price range that typically have a 'thick chin' display, the top bezels on the front of POCO X6 Pro are uniformly slim, not only making the device more visually appealing but also providing users with a wide viewing angle.

POCO X6 Pro 5 features a wide 6.67-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. These are very outstanding specifications compared to other products currently available, especially the 1.5K display resolution which can deliver highly sharp and vibrant images. Therefore, our users may have a delightful experience watching movies, playing games, and working.

The POCO X6 Pro 5G is equipped with the new Dimensity 8300-Ultra chipset by MediaTek. This chip is developed on a cutting-edge 4nm process with an octa-core architecture similar to the standard Dimensity 8300 but excels with a clock speed of up to 3.35 GHz.

Moreover, the POCO X6 Pro is equipped with a whopping 12 GB of RAM, a large capacity that enables users to perform multitasking smoothly. The device also boasts 512 GB of internal storage, providing ample space for data storage.

To better understand the power that the Dimensity 8300-Ultra chip brings to the POCO X6 Pro, let's take a look at the performance scores from the benchmark test conducted by GSMArena!

In the GeekBench 6 single/multi-core test, the POCO X6 Pro performs exceptionally well, scoring 1,498 points and 4,696 points, respectively. Even when running without high-performance mode, the results remain consistent. Compared to other competitors in the same range, the POCO X6 Pro delivers excellent performance without any noticeable lag, showcasing its ability to handle light and moderate tasks optimally.

Furthermore, the POCO X6 Pro achieves impressive results in the Antutu v20 test with a score of 1,396,547 points (or 1,321,311 points in normal mode), surpassing its competitors by a significant margin.

The author further adds that in the CPU Throttle stability scoring, the POCO X6 Pro performs exceptionally well with CPU stability reaching 80% (normal mode) or fluctuating between 75-80% (high-performance mode).

The POCO X6 Pro with its 5,000 mAh battery offers impressive battery life

In addition to its impressive performance, the POCO X6 Pro is equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery. This figure is currently considered excellent for mid-range devices as it provides long-lasting usage for users. Therefore, GSMArena has conducted several battery tests, and the results are as follows:

• Video playback: 13 hours 49 minutes.
• Web browsing: 10 hours 14 minutes.
• Gaming: 7 hours 23 minutes.
• Phone calls: 29 hours 06 minutes.

Overall, the results show that the battery life of the POCO X6 Pro is superior to some other similar competitors. This also demonstrates that the POCO X6 Pro can provide all-day usage when alternating between various tasks.

In addition, the manufacturer has equipped the POCO X6 Pro with fast charging feature at 67 W, a familiar figure for Xiaomi's mid-range devices. According to GSMArena, when charged from 0%, the POCO X6 Pro can fully recharge from 0% to 100% in just 43 minutes.

Thanks to this, the POCO X6 Pro will provide you with seamless experiences during usage and help you save a considerable amount of time for charging!

The POCO X6 Pro's 64 MP camera meets various photography needs effectively

Exploring its photography prowess, the POCO X6 Pro is equipped with a camera system featuring 3 sensors at the rear and a selfie camera at the front with specific specifications as follows:

• Main camera: 64 MP resolution, OIS stabilization support.
• Ultra-wide camera: 8 MP resolution.
• Macro camera: 2 MP resolution.
• Front camera: 16 MP resolution.

Comparing to its predecessor, the camera of the POCO X6 Pro has been slightly improved in terms of specifications and is fully capable of producing sharp images with high resolution. So, how does the image quality of the POCO X6 Pro fare? Let's take a look at the samples captured by GSMArena!

• Photos captured in sufficient lighting conditions

In the POCO X6 Pro, the main 64 MP camera is capable of producing default photos saved at 16 MP resolution after capture. These default photos provide clear details and are processed very well in terms of color rendition, wide dynamic range, and low image noise. This has helped the 16 MP photos taken by the main camera to look overall very natural and beautiful.

However, when capturing at 64 MP resolution, the image quality of the POCO X6 Pro does not differ significantly from default captures, with no noticeable improvement in detail level observed by the author in this mode.

On the other hand, when capturing in 2x zoom mode, the POCO X6 Pro delivers good results. Although the overall photo may appear slightly boosted in color and not entirely natural, the level of detail provided by the camera is more prominent.

Moving on to the ultra-wide camera of the POCO X6 Pro, this lens is evaluated by the author to provide relatively stable photography performance. The level of detail is good at the 8 MP resolution, but the dynamic range is somewhat limited, especially in brightly lit areas, and the colors are not particularly vibrant.

The portrait mode photos on the POCO X6 Pro typically utilize the native field of view of the main camera, so users cannot adjust the zoom. However, the subject detection capability is excellent, and the background separation is relatively accurate.

Regarding the macro camera of the POCO X6 Pro, it seems that the lens is not optimized extensively for image processing, resulting in macro shots with lower detail density and relatively muted colors.

As for the selfie camera of the POCO X6 Pro, this lens can capture photos with average detail density, so it may not achieve the original 16MP resolution. Although the white balance feature for photos is often disabled indoors and outdoors, the device still strives to maintain the subject's skin tone authentically during shooting.

• Photos taken in low-light conditions

In low-light conditions, the POCO X6 Pro supports the Auto Night mode, which is enabled by default in the Advanced Camera settings. However, this feature typically only operates in extremely dark shooting scenarios.

In automatic night mode, the POCO X6 Pro produces well-exposed images in dark areas, and the handling of bright areas may appear somewhat excessive but still acceptable. The photos exhibit high detail density and good control over noise particles.

In the manual night mode, the POCO X6 Pro tends to increase brightness, resulting in overall brighter images compared to the automatic mode.

At 2x zoom level, both night shooting modes on the POCO X6 Pro produce images with minimal differences, although they still smooth out textures and details (automatic night mode).

As for the ultra-wide-angle camera of the POCO X6 Pro, the photos usually exhibit sufficient detail, good dynamic range, and stable color rendering. Similarly, at 2x zoom level, the image quality from both night shooting modes doesn't show much difference.

Conclusion

Overall, the POCO X6 Pro is a device equipped with many good features. Not only does it have an attractive appearance, impressive performance, and a large battery, but it also delivers very good photo quality in its segment. If you are looking for a mid-range phone with such good features, then the POCO X6 Pro is a worthy consideration!
