Even if the camera is not perfect, this handset is a tremendous value for money and offers features only found in higher end phones, like stereo speakers, IR blaster,in screen fingerprint, Amoled display, lot's of storage, case/charger in the box, Plus it is one of the nicest looking phones in it's segment. My wife currently using the Poco M5s and I am considering this as an upgrade for her. Thanks Jermaine
Great design, looks so nice in purple💜. Micro SD Card slot+headphone jack yes, both are great bonuses these days👍. Photos looked amazing, videos disappointing. Main camera 64 mp with OIS is so decent for photos at this price that it must be unbeatable. Poco is back at the top with M6 Pro, X6, X6 Pro, all sold at a very competetive price in here in EU.
1. Great soundtrack - love the synth 2. Not too bad given the price. I wouldn't have expected anything amazing but it looks exactly like what I get from my Sony 10iii. I would guess that even the 10v will produce very similar results. From what I've seen in general, this is more or less what you can expect from sub-500 euro phones. I think possibly the Samsung A54 is the first phone from 500 to give you better photos and videos, which would explain why it's massively popular in europe. After that if you want better pictures you need to look at Nothing Phone and Pixels (if they sell them in your country), OnePlus 10/S22/S23/Zenfone 9/last years flagships. I cannot think of any phone in the Nothing Phone price bracket that has good cameras apart from Pixel. There is a real gap there in the market. The next camera bump comes at the 800 euro mark with the flagships - OP11, Sony 5v, Pixel 8 pro, Samsung S24, iPhone, Zenfone 10, Nothing Phone 2. I suddenly realised why the Nothing 2 is so expensive - for the price they have the best cameras and that classic iphone design. I think they realised that Android needs a 600 euro iPhone clone....which is correct actually. The regular iphone is very appealing but I like Android too much (and my freedom) to use it.
Thing is , the poco M6 Pro is €229,- which is a good amount cheaper then the Samsung Galaxy A54, the a54 is more around the poco X6 pro, base to base, A54 is 359 where the poco x6 pro (with 256gb where it is 128gb for the A54) is 349, so the more fair comparison would be against the poco x6 pro then the M6 because that is a good amount cheaper honestly. sub 500 though you can get some great older flagships as well ^^ It is a hard thing to truly properly compare with so many phones hahaha
@@ThroughJermainesLens Yes, very difficult. That sub 350 market is where the majority of sales happen worldwide which is why the competition is so strong. But they've largely ignored the 350 - 700 market. For 229 it's got really decent cameras

Hi, good review: did you mention that this phone does not shoot raw, and this is a step backward compared for example to my old Redmi Note 10s which were also able to shoot 4K video at 30 fps?
@@jessbread4670 Not necessarily. Official Samsung support said their A15 will not connect to 4G networks simultaneously for both SIM slots. Only one at 4G the other to 3G/2G. It depends on the SoC in the phone. Mostly only flagship models are capable.
What do you think is a good budget phone for photos and videos mainly for social media and keeping an account on projects etc. Especially when travelling and cant take to much so phone has to do all.

Hi I have my poco m6 pro and when I use it on night mode it shoots black,is there a problem with the device or it just cant shoot to low lights places
as in just completly black? possibly try a reset of the phone back to factory settings? Does sound like there is an issue.
Hi, do you recommend this phone?
Would you say that the camera quality of the m6 pro or x6 5G is better?
I am basing this on memory, but the x6 should be better:)
X6 better but price also higher. You get what you pay for😄
Is a recording of 1080p 60fps comes with OIS?
Yes
dont expect too much bro 😊
Fyi Sadly the ois just can available in 1080 30fps
Music should be tuned down affecting voice
Much better if Xiaomi have installed the HyperOS plus Android 14...already in this Poco M6 Pro
Already is
