1:19 "names withheld" lol we all know who you're talking about 😂. 7:08 the selfie did actually look good imo, it's okay for anything not a pixel or Samsung flagship. The video quality too is great. Although I don't like the notification panel UI change with the new hyperOs update, is still a great phone overall. Amazing video aswell.
If you want to take pictures, then there's better phones out there. Personally I didn't bought it for that. But for gaming and emulation it's totally worth it.
Hello brother. If choosing between the Poco F6 and the non-Plus Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G who would win in the cameras overall for more accurate colours, better dynamic range, better white balance, less noise when zooming, etc.,? Or would you recommend something else?
Hello there brother. Would you be able to tell me the Poco F6 ultrawide camera has colours and sharpness comparable and consistent to it's main camera? Would you say skin tones are accurate for both main and selfie? Dynamic range any good? No overblown backgrounds? Blue sky is truly blue? In low light are there no highlights (overblown) when it comes to building lights, store signs? Or would you rather get something else in it's price range?
Since doing this video I just wanna ask you: Have you had any Hyper OS or quality of life updates especially with general performance, battery life and most importantly the main and selfie cameras? And can you confidently say if have you noticed any minor improvements? Or would you rather get something else?
That's my current phone that i plan to use for the years to come lol Overall very pleased, except with the cameras and the battery that could last a bit longer, even debloated.
@SrLopinho My review was not based on this recording but based on several tests before I decided to record this video. As a matter of fact, I recorded my review before filming the clips used for this. My conclusion that it lags within 20 minutes of playing was from different tests on different days. If you have this device and currently don't experience that, then it's great cos over two months is enough time for them to optimise it. But I'm sure if you go through the comments or research a little you will find a few users of the device with similar experience.
Your review on F3 made me buy it back then I never regretted a single moment with the phone, I upgraded to Poco F4 GT been rocking it for 2years still no dull moment, with some tweaks I play Codm on 120hz both MP and Br no lags, but Wzm has been a pain in the ass got me thinking If I should buy F6 coz it has better processor but seeing this I'm confused, what would you advise?
I bought the Poco X6 Pro 12 gig 512gig . 2-29-24 from Amazon 1 day Delivery. To replace my Poco X3 GT had it for over 2 1/2 years. I live in Chicago USA by the Lake on the Gold Coast.

I've used it for a month.... Only one word I'd say... Overrated.... It becomes laggy sometime... When u play games, its not that stable like the ads do... The performance is slower than my old poco f3... Cant talk too much till its new software update...
I just bought poco f6 two days ago, my initial impression, for reference my dad have poco x6 and i also used poco f5 for 1 year now my mom is using it, both the poco x6 and poco f5 is way smoother than poco f6, poco x6 smoothness is crazy , and poco f5 is also smoother , x6 and f5 better battery life, f6 drains quickly and heating is also major , i think its need more optimization,Pros better camera, in display fingerprint sensor,cons even with 1.5k resolution, poco f5 UA-cam video playback is higher in quality sound quality on poco f5 is slightly better, poco f6 is better value for money from its compition, and I'm thinking maybe with more optimization it will improve
What would you recommend between Samsung Galaxy a35 128/6 and Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G 256/8 ? I don't play games, only Notion, Music, Capture Photos and social media
Depends on your preference since they are close but have significant differences. For the price range I would opt for the Poco M6 pro, Poco X6 pro (nearly identical to the Poco F6 but a lot cheaper) all these Poco phones are reportedly excellent. Or the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13. I'm not such a fan of Samsung but others love it so it depends on your taste. The Pocos have a plastic back which I prefer. The Samsung charges pretty slow compared to Xiaomi/Poco very fast charging. I use the Poco F6 but might just as well have bought the Poco X6 pro since they are so close in specs. I've become quite a Poco/Xiaomi fan now. I had the Samsung A31 up to now and it was a horrible phone. Bad wifi and phone connection, very slow in all functions. So happy with my upgrade. If you want to go cheap I heard very positive feedback for the Poco M6 too. I would honestly not mind going for that. The Samsung A35 looks nicer, with the glass and all that, but glass breaks easily and is heavy, so no advantage imo. Good luck, with your choice. Let us know how it went. 👍 On gsm arena you can easily compare specs.
I bought the Poco X6 Pro 12gig 512gig. 2-29-24. From Amazon 1 day Delivery. To replace my Poco X3 GT had it for over 2 1/2 years. Flagship Killer for the Money 💰.

The 8s gen 3 is suffering from the same optimization issues that the exynos 1480 had. As for camera results, poco has been notoriously known for being a budget gaming phone. And for Warzone mobile, I think all snapdragon chipsets bar the 8 gen 3, is suffering from sustained performance issues. Mediatek chips seem to be better at running the game.
@gie3973 The issue wasn't with samsung. It was with devs. They hadn't optimized apps for the processor. On paper, the chip is quite impressive. What it was lacking is optimization. In regards to your question, yes, the issues it had with lack of optimization have now been fixed.
@@gie3973 a lot of games run better on the 1480. Never said they had the highest settings available yet. But they are now playable and most likely would have the highest setting available soon.
I had that problem always with my Samsung A31. I have the Poco F6 now and have perfect connection with both wifi and phone. The cause of my trouble was apparently weak antennas in the A31 though it was also extremely slow and buggy. I'm therefore not a fan of Samsung anymore. Don't trust them anymore, you pay too much for what you get imo, so I'm happily switching to Xiaomi/Poco.
@@korrexi My top choice in this price segment is the Snapdragon 7+ gen 2. It is the best processor, supporting some higher-end devices. Moreover, it does not have significant overheating issues, which I can vouch for as a regular user. The F5 has better camera over the F6 and better battery life. the battery of the F6 takes a hit due to overthrottling.
This was what I could capture at the time of recording. I didn't reach the conclusion that it lags based on that clip. I recorded the clips while working on the video. But my conclusion is based on my experiencing lags every time I played the game for up to 20 minutes. So even if the clip here showed connectivity issues, that does not mean my conclusion that it lags was simply based on that clip. I used the phone for a while before deciding to make the video. You can go through the comments and you'll find at least one person with this phone that has this experience while gaming. Or just search the internet for review of other users.
@@izziboyeI've tried playing warzone on the same phone and i didn't experience any lags, not even a stutter, but i keep getting connection problems even with other devices. I guess it's different for most people then. Looking forward to the Camon 30 premier and Sammy's A55 comparison video btw.
You might want to go back and watch it again to get the context in which the Pixel 8 was mentioned. In case you still missed it, I was talking about the weight of the phone being lighter than a Pixel 8 which is significantly smaller
@@izziboye But the Pixel 8 is a flagship. Flagships are known to be heavier than mid-rangers just because of the extra hardware they have inside, like vapor chambers, bigger batteries, in Samsung's case, the S-Pen, etc. You get the point though😁😅
Again, context. The Pixel 8 was not the only phone I mentioned. I mentioned the A55, even went on to say this is not a problem. Not sure what you're trying to get out of this. Referencing the Pixel 8 was not to compare build quality. It was to provide context on how light it is since the Pixel 8 is one of the lightest compact phones.

smoother than poco f6, poco x6 smoothness is
crazy , and poco f5 is also smoother , x6 and f5
better battery life, f6 drains quickly and heating is also major , i think its need more optimization,Pros better camera, in display fingerprint sensor,cons even with 1.5k resolution, poco f5 UA-cam
video playback is higher in quality sound quality on
poco f5 is slightly better, poco f6 is better value
for money from its compition, and I'm thinking
maybe with more optimization it will improve
