Usually the 1800 nits advertised are only like in 1% window (very small dots) used in HDR movies like Netflix, so with auto brightness typically you get much less (I would assume around 700-1000 nits instead) I don't have the device to measure it but do keep in mind when you take photos outside usually the phone heats up making the display throttle much sooner (and go much dimmer) so maybe that's the case
Bro. Your review process is excellent. Straightforward and to the point and also temp read outs?? Absolute perfection! I'm gonna keep my eye on your channel. Keep up yhe great work
What a great review, Kenneth. Even though I'm not a gamer, I believe purchasing this phone for work purposes is more than sufficient. Considering the price, I can get a decent camera, good battery life, and multitasking capabilities as well. This will likely be my final review video before making the purchase!
@@namedkenn the elephant in the room is Xiaomi ethics as they don't feel shame about ruining their phones with future updates (Probably to make use buy the newer ones?). Just stay aware before updating.
Poco F6 and F6 pro are definitely better. I'd say if you have enough, go for the F6 pro 'cause the Snapdragon 8 gen 2, even tho the performance is similar to the 8s gen 3 of the regular poco f6, will probably have much better optimization and driver support since many phones used it and it's been a while longer in the market.

Man, you're so underrated, i really liked your thorough gameplay tests. But rn I'm confused between getting the xiaomi redmi note 13 pro 5g and the poco x6 pro 5g, and my main problem with the x6 pro is the camera (64mp) and the system customizability, is the poco as customizable as the xiaomi redmi note 13 pro 5g?

Can you expand on customizability?

what a powerful phone i am sure that it will never have overheating problems when it is released in india and we are definitely not going to see the first blast of this phone within 6 months of its release
Got the x6 pro in Jan, in India. 12gb ram and 512 rom variant. Gaming and performance has been rock solid. Extremely satisfied. I do hardcore gaming, and yes, i need to charge it for 20 mins in the middle but with fast charging its fine.

Very bad optimisation, bloatware, no custom roms, the "fast charging" is not fast anymore, after some updates and they're throttled down the phone, so you can't get those scores when it first launched. That's my opinion after using it for 3 months.

@@talion7268 True, but in terms of cooling and camera, the f6 is a bit better than x6 pro. Overall, for the price to performance valu, it's the x6 pro for me.
USB A is still the best option atm imo because it's still what I have in my computer to plug the phone in. I also am affraid that depending on which position the charger is in, the USB C plug will deteriorate faster but idk.
The only game I actually play is Nikke, and my current phone can't keep up on the most intensive boss battles, so I'm looking for alternatives. This one would definitely run it smoothly, althought it might be a little overpower. Price is ok I guess, but I hate that not having a headphone jack and micro SD card expansion is becoming a trend.
Im still rocking the F1 😂 This honestly looks amazing specs wise, but i was really looking foward for a good camera. Do you have any recomendations with this kinda budget?
On geekbench 6 mine scored 1376 single and 4122 multi-core. Even on official sites it manages to score even higher than that. I don't know how yours managed to score that little
It varies because of what current condition your device is on. Those numbers you saw are probably with the phones operating the best possible performance in a proper setting (something like an air conditioned room). My own Tablet managed to even surpass what numbers show up online one time and then come up lower another time because I tested it on a whim directly after gaming on it (it was already heating up at that point)
It's true It varies, but not that much. I've tested it multiple times and it always shows over 1300 single-core. The dymensity 8300 actually measures nearly 1500 on single core and 4700 on multi. This is not a small difference you can ignore
Bought it yesterday... Gray color looks elegant. Very light in weight. Display is crisp. Don't do games but opening outlook mail or teams meeting is smooth. Battery is okay...mail.. Some YT.. Whatsapp.. Calling. Looks good actually. Heating normal.. While charging only. Camera is okay
The poco x6 pro has dimensity 8300 ultra which is better than snapdragon 870 so it can probably run cod warzone on stable 90 fps while on high graphics plus it had 12 gigs of ram
Bought this phone twice and I need to say that there are 2 major issues with it: 1- The screen, it's so dull even with the vivid setting is on. At first you won't notice it but with time you will notice. Even an LCD will look more colorful than this panel. 2- The auto brightness is not working properly, it's either too bright or too dim, there's nothing in between and sometimes it won't work at all.
You can also try Realme 6t GT . That phone also comes around that price and have similar specs to this phone and have a better cooling system and better battery and charging speeds at 120W and it has a snapdragon 7+ gen 3 which prevides around the same performance as this phone if not better because 7+ gen 3 is basically a 8 gen 2 like processor so yeah no doubt this phone is great but also try that out its a really good phone though the only downside is its plastic back but i don't have an issue as i m bit clumsy and drop my phone so i prefer plastic and metallic over glass back
I'm currently using a new Xiaomi Redmi note 13 pro 5G. It was a rushed purchase. I'm considering to change to a Poco X6 Pro because of the double performance. I will lose eSIM and get a bit lower quality cameras and no jack but this phone is literally better in everything than my redmi Note 13 Pro 5G.
I can confirm the Poco X6 Pro Gorilla Glass 5 protection works, I broke the screen protector that came with it but the screen itself is good. I dropped it's own charger on the screen about 12-15inches and the tip of the conductor hits it's screen I still got scared yes so I don't recommend doing it or being clumsy like me 😅
I haven't even seen the first 20 seconds of the video because I know how good that phone is, in fact I am using the exact same phone to type this in, I waited for YEAR to find the best bang for the buck phone and I was about to get iqoo (which was a good option). Thankfully, I waited and got POCO X6 Pro (512/12) Racing grey. It is just too good for the price.
hi Kenn I'm planning to replace my Huawei nova 3 to poco x6 regular not pro, but I'm still hasn't fully convinced yet because I see the focal length of the front camera of it were too close for vlogging, is there any alternative to poco x6 (regular not pro) at the same price point ofc, thank you!
the xiaomi pocophone series is more for gaming, if you want good cameras or anything like that, look up to the newer galaxy A phones, like the a35, a55 (or the galaxy k zoom lol jk)
It's cheap because of well, ads and data collection enabled by default 😅 Had the pleasure to set up a Poco M5 recently for my grandma and holy moly, it has a fuckton of bloatware included and ads thrown at you every hour of the day. And not to mention all these sketchy data collection enabled by default... I do like Xiaomi phones actually, especially MiUI's UX design, but all of the above makes it really hard for me to actually buy one.
@@namedkenn Thanks so much for the reply ! Are there any others you could recommend in this price class that might be better? Maybe the tecno pova 6 pro ? Id love to hear been looking at reviews all week xD cant make up my mind my asus rog 5 just broke.
Haha man you’re very familiar with these things yeah! What you said is true, as of right now I’ll try to get in touch with Infinix PR and see if I can review the GT20 Pro
Wala pang 6.6 sa shopee pero naka kuha ako ng 12Gb Ram + 512gb na Poco x6 Pro sa halagaang 16,140 pesos dahil shop voucher at discount voucher, pota spaylater na agad hahahahaa excited na ako sa order ko. Btw I’m a Filipino
You should've tried running CSSO 0.5 or higher at high settings because that's one good way I like to push devices gaming capabilities basically like running a PC game ported to mobile it's just a modded sauced up variant of CS Source running on the source engine
Hello! I wanted to buy a gaming phone and currently want to buy either poco F5, poco F5 pro, or Poco x6 pro. Currently poco f5 is $77 cheaper in my place and poco x6 pro and poco f5 pro have similar price. Do you think the $77 price increase is worth it and which phone is better? Thank you!
Maybe just wait a few weeks (months?) for the Poco F6, being a Redmi Turbo 3 rebrand; it has really nice proccesor inside (Snapdragon 8s gen 3) and overall pretty good specs, but (more than likely) wont be as cheap as the Turbo 3 which is sold for around $300 for the 12gb ram/256gb rom base version.
I agree with nosardines, I would expect the new POCO F6 to be sold around 500USD although it is for sure a good deal considering 8s Gen 3 is still a very powerful chip Although if you wanna stick to your budget, it's actually quite neck and neck in terms of performance, but I do think the F5 Pro still has the edge here, or if you like the design of F5 it's still a bit faster as well
@@namedkennif you like Snapdragon chipsets and want to do emulation go for Poco F5 if you want a cheap and balanced phone that can play pretty much every game on PlayStore go for Poco x6 pro but mediatek isn't that good for emulating
The only problem is the dimensity chipset which brings the optimizations down. I bought this for my brother who refused to buy a flagship phone and he likes it though. Kinda makes me doubt about buying my oneplus 12 when midrangers are starting to be great on performance without actually having to spend more
Yo! Geat vid thanks for the review, i have a question, i was looking forward to buying samsung galaxy a25 5g but do you think poco x6 5g is better? (Not the pro version)
in my country the poco x6 5g costs more than the a25 5g, but in perfomance for gaming the poco x6 5g is way better. the only down is the camera i think
I'm using POCO X6 pro right now didn't saw any problem till date there's a time I updated and battery drained faster and I was like it's okey not a big deal I'll charge.. and after a month I was suffering on phone settings and I saw my device was on 120hz RF 🤡 I'm such a fool for almost a month my phone was running on 120hz and I was like why it's drains soo fast... (I have used POCO X2) Both phones satisfied my needs as I used to play GENSHIN, PUBG and various games in POCO X2 with mid/low settings but it still does better performance than some Realme devices after 3 years of POCO X2 the phone fell off my hand and got into water 🥹 still I love POCO
Been using this phone for about 2 months. Absolutely amazing for its price. 2 features that are compromised for its price: 1) cameras are mid but i use a small mirrorless camera for taking pictures so i dont mind 2) GPS is wonky. Honestly it got me lost multiple times because it is really inaccurate sometimes. Other than that... Absolutely amazing phone for its price. Screen, performance and features i dont miss my previous phone S21+ one bit.
@@jayjaytv2563 it's on par. Both are very good. Poco's has a better resolution but i can't see a noticeable difference. Both of them can get really bright under direct sunlight
Thanks for the review. Will you review infinix gt 20 pro? It got dedicated chip for fps boost and bypass charging . Still deciding wether to get x6 pro or gt 20 pro as 2nd phone for gaming purposes.
X6 Pro has better chipset performance and better screen quality, while GT 20 will give a better gaming experience through 120 fps options on multiple games, better gaming space, longer battery life during gaming session, and the bypass charging you mentioned.
Man thx i've seen test where the phone wasn't great at genshin and HSR i guess it wasn't 12/512 but i still can't decide between poco x6 pro and honor Magic 6 or 5 pro 😅😭
My experience with using POCO phones for 4+ years at this point, and a heck ton of my friends use it as well, I haven't heard of any mobo problem at all, in fact none had any kind of problems at all, and we all play games on daily basis haha
Really good performance on Genshin ngl. If I put on the same graphical settings I have currently on my tablet (which has snapdragon 870) I believe I could get constant 60 with this phone. Since I can get 55+ on normal gameplay with little to no dips on my tablet already with my mix of high and med graphics.
Go with Moto or Mi ones. Poco famous for dead boot or motherboard failure after the warranty period expires. check for extended warranty for poco for safe bet.
The inbuilt ada are annoying no way to remove them directly into the launcher and if you change your launcher no gesture control supported for third party launcher
Waiting for Poco F6 pro. But based on stats given by its china counterpart, Redmi Turbo 3...the x6 Pro might actually come out on top this time around.
This is the tricky question as both are equally good, I think it comes down to which phone design you like better, but generally I still lean towards the F5
Why do we need cameras on gaming phones??? Get the camera off and install coolers, jack ports extra usb C port on the side and shoulder buttons... On a gaming phone people are looking mostly into the screen quality and performance...cameras are just raising the costs of the device😊
@@jiffonbuffo I totally agree....but you can have 1 or two cameras instead of 4... The focus should remain on the gaming... So triggers/shoulder buttons...bigger screens (where applicable) extra usb C port etc...
I've had Redmi Note 12 pro 5g and after upgrading to Hyperos, that wasn't it ▪︎ 8 ball pool game requires sensitive touch and smoothness on phone screen and idk does Poco X6 (or pro) can provide that.. If it can i would be willing to give a chance ●
The temperature measurement in smartphone are kinda cliche, you can only see the battery temp where on the other side there are a lot to look for like CPU GPU and memory which is not possible to measure
I personally want to focus on the most important temperature which is the one you feel on your hands while gaming, because it directly affects the comfort while playing

Do you have any recomendations with this kinda budget?
On geekbench 6 mine scored 1376 single and 4122 multi-core. Even on official sites it manages to score even higher than that. I don't know how yours managed to score that little
It varies because of what current condition your device is on. Those numbers you saw are probably with the phones operating the best possible performance in a proper setting (something like an air conditioned room). My own Tablet managed to even surpass what numbers show up online one time and then come up lower another time because I tested it on a whim directly after gaming on it (it was already heating up at that point)
It's true It varies, but not that much. I've tested it multiple times and it always shows over 1300 single-core. The dymensity 8300 actually measures nearly 1500 on single core and 4700 on multi. This is not a small difference you can ignore
Bought it yesterday... Gray color looks elegant. Very light in weight. Display is crisp. Don't do games but opening outlook mail or teams meeting is smooth. Battery is okay...mail.. Some YT.. Whatsapp.. Calling. Looks good actually. Heating normal.. While charging only. Camera is okay
Hey man, still rocking the F3 and undecided between x6 pro and f6 for gaming mostly( includes emulation) what do u recomend ? Cheers :D
Bro. Will there be any improvement from the poco team to make it smooth while playing warzone mobile.? From the updates of poco x6 pro
The poco x6 pro has dimensity 8300 ultra which is better than snapdragon 870 so it can probably run cod warzone on stable 90 fps while on high graphics plus it had 12 gigs of ram
It's not all about poco, the warzone mobile proves to be bias for iphones it won't run too well in a few updates
Considering it's still a new game, we can just slowly wait for the dev to optimize it as we go

Bought this phone twice and I need to say that there are 2 major issues with it:
1- The screen, it's so dull even with the vivid setting is on. At first you won't notice it but with time you will notice. Even an LCD will look more colorful than this panel.
2- The auto brightness is not working properly, it's either too bright or too dim, there's nothing in between and sometimes it won't work at all.
they do this to reduce the cost
You can also try Realme 6t GT . That phone also comes around that price and have similar specs to this phone and have a better cooling system and better battery and charging speeds at 120W and it has a snapdragon 7+ gen 3 which prevides around the same performance as this phone if not better because 7+ gen 3 is basically a 8 gen 2 like processor so yeah no doubt this phone is great but also try that out its a really good phone though the only downside is its plastic back but i don't have an issue as i m bit clumsy and drop my phone so i prefer plastic and metallic over glass back
No bro D8300+ is a demon chipset snapdragon 8gen1 performance
@@m4nuiwnl459 Snapdragon 7+ gen 3 is as fast as a 8 gen 2 processor and provides almost or actually gives the same performance as 8 gen 3s
I'm currently using a new Xiaomi Redmi note 13 pro 5G. It was a rushed purchase. I'm considering to change to a Poco X6 Pro because of the double performance. I will lose eSIM and get a bit lower quality cameras and no jack but this phone is literally better in everything than my redmi Note 13 Pro 5G.
I can confirm the Poco X6 Pro Gorilla Glass 5 protection works, I broke the screen protector that came with it but the screen itself is good. I dropped it's own charger on the screen about 12-15inches and the tip of the conductor hits it's screen I still got scared yes so I don't recommend doing it or being clumsy like me 😅
I haven't even seen the first 20 seconds of the video because I know how good that phone is, in fact I am using the exact same phone to type this in, I waited for YEAR to find the best bang for the buck phone and I was about to get iqoo (which was a good option). Thankfully, I waited and got POCO X6 Pro (512/12) Racing grey. It is just too good for the price.
Hey I'm having a horrible time gaming on this phone, playing EAFC mobile. Don't know if it's just my phone but are you able to check it on your phone?
hi Kenn I'm planning to replace my Huawei nova 3 to poco x6 regular not pro, but I'm still hasn't fully convinced yet because I see the focal length of the front camera of it were too close for vlogging, is there any alternative to poco x6 (regular not pro) at the same price point ofc, thank you!
the xiaomi pocophone series is more for gaming, if you want good cameras or anything like that, look up to the newer galaxy A phones, like the a35, a55 (or the galaxy k zoom lol jk)
It's cheap because of well, ads and data collection enabled by default 😅
Had the pleasure to set up a Poco M5 recently for my grandma and holy moly, it has a fuckton of bloatware included and ads thrown at you every hour of the day. And not to mention all these sketchy data collection enabled by default...
I do like Xiaomi phones actually, especially MiUI's UX design, but all of the above makes it really hard for me to actually buy one.
I would love to know if this phone works with Wuthering waves ? does it do good with that , or would you recommend something else ?
Yeah it does! Although the game is so heavy you’ll put it around medium 30fps for good thermal and long term performance
@@namedkenn Thanks so much for the reply ! Are there any others you could recommend in this price class that might be better? Maybe the tecno pova 6 pro ? Id love to hear been looking at reviews all week xD cant make up my mind my asus rog 5 just broke.
Have you chanced on the specs of both the Tecno Camon 30 pro/premier and Infinix GT 20 Pro
He can probably review Infinix GT20 Pro if he gets one, but no luck with the Camon yet as it isn't released in the channel's region.
Haha man you’re very familiar with these things yeah! What you said is true, as of right now I’ll try to get in touch with Infinix PR and see if I can review the GT20 Pro
Thanks for the review, i just bought this at normal price . Thumbs up for the vid 👍🏻👍🏻
Hello, what are your camera settings for the x6 pro? Much appreciated
warzone is not fully optimized for android yet ,they still working on it
Yep, will keep on testing it in the future 😁
I am so much exited upgrading from samsung f12(exynos 850 ) which is low low end processor
I will be sure be happy
Wala pang 6.6 sa shopee pero naka kuha ako ng 12Gb Ram + 512gb na Poco x6 Pro sa halagaang 16,140 pesos dahil shop voucher at discount voucher, pota spaylater na agad hahahahaa excited na ako sa order ko. Btw I’m a Filipino
Should i go for infinix gt 20 pro or the poco x6pro ?
Look at the chipset
Also look at the price, go for the one your price allows.
@@TheOneWhoDominates basically same price
@@SinCat-o8s I am getting infinix for 17k and poco for 22k after all bank discount and offers. Is it still the same?
User cb3ry 4k price difference
You should've tried running CSSO 0.5 or higher at high settings because that's one good way I like to push devices gaming capabilities basically like running a PC game ported to mobile it's just a modded sauced up variant of CS Source running on the source engine
I use artic shark type b so it reach the cpu and ram on the top, applying cryo fuze thermal paste and red magic 5 pro cooler.. What's your thought? 😆
i bend a bit like ﹁_ on the bump
Hello! I wanted to buy a gaming phone and currently want to buy either poco F5, poco F5 pro, or Poco x6 pro. Currently poco f5 is $77 cheaper in my place and poco x6 pro and poco f5 pro have similar price. Do you think the $77 price increase is worth it and which phone is better? Thank you!
Go for f5 is a good soc phone
Maybe just wait a few weeks (months?) for the Poco F6, being a Redmi Turbo 3 rebrand; it has really nice proccesor inside (Snapdragon 8s gen 3) and overall pretty good specs, but (more than likely) wont be as cheap as the Turbo 3 which is sold for around $300 for the 12gb ram/256gb rom base version.
Wait Redmi turbo 3/Poco F6
I agree with nosardines, I would expect the new POCO F6 to be sold around 500USD although it is for sure a good deal considering 8s Gen 3 is still a very powerful chip
Although if you wanna stick to your budget, it's actually quite neck and neck in terms of performance, but I do think the F5 Pro still has the edge here, or if you like the design of F5 it's still a bit faster as well
@@namedkennif you like Snapdragon chipsets and want to do emulation go for Poco F5 if you want a cheap and balanced phone that can play pretty much every game on PlayStore go for Poco x6 pro but mediatek isn't that good for emulating
Nice to see an enthusiastic treatment of the phone that I just had to order.
Hope you'll enjoy it!
Ordering it today. Cant wait. I got the yellow back looks sick!
@@FearTheOldB Going yellow too. Hoping it won't make me too much of a target, in certain places.
was on sale here for 200 euros, was really hard to not buy it, but i was strong enough to resist ( my 5 year old Realme X is still as new)
What do you use for the performance monitor overlay?
It's built in MIUI performance monitor
Looking forward to your take on the f6 compared to the x6 pro
hey guys, quick question, is this phone rootable ? if yes can you suggest a good guide to do it ?
Bro POCO is GOD for rooting... (Xiaomi device) 🗿
The only problem is the dimensity chipset which brings the optimizations down. I bought this for my brother who refused to buy a flagship phone and he likes it though. Kinda makes me doubt about buying my oneplus 12 when midrangers are starting to be great on performance without actually having to spend more
then dont buy flagships, they're meant to be good at everything, not just performance.
does the phone overheat?, looking forward to buying it
For daily use, do you think this or Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus is better? Anyway, fantastic review
Yes redmi is better. For gaming poco
@@michelefaiella5397 poco is better on every aspect except camera
Yo! Geat vid thanks for the review, i have a question, i was looking forward to buying samsung galaxy a25 5g but do you think poco x6 5g is better? (Not the pro version)
in my country the poco x6 5g costs more than the a25 5g, but in perfomance for gaming the poco x6 5g is way better. the only down is the camera i think
@@onegamermillgraunescau2536 ohh thanks
@@onegamermillgraunescau2536 Hey, why ? Is the camera bad ?
@@sidahmedreghaouat6842 its not bad, i mean the Samsung phones câmera is way more better
I'm using POCO X6 pro right now didn't saw any problem till date there's a time I updated and battery drained faster and I was like it's okey not a big deal I'll charge.. and after a month I was suffering on phone settings and I saw my device was on 120hz RF 🤡 I'm such a fool for almost a month my phone was running on 120hz and I was like why it's drains soo fast... (I have used POCO X2) Both phones satisfied my needs as I used to play GENSHIN, PUBG and various games in POCO X2 with mid/low settings but it still does better performance than some Realme devices after 3 years of POCO X2 the phone fell off my hand and got into water 🥹 still I love POCO
Been using this phone for about 2 months. Absolutely amazing for its price.
2 features that are compromised for its price:
1) cameras are mid but i use a small mirrorless camera for taking pictures so i dont mind
2) GPS is wonky. Honestly it got me lost multiple times because it is really inaccurate sometimes.
Other than that... Absolutely amazing phone for its price. Screen, performance and features i dont miss my previous phone S21+ one bit.
Would you say that's the Screen on the Poco is better then S21+?
@@jayjaytv2563 it's on par. Both are very good. Poco's has a better resolution but i can't see a noticeable difference. Both of them can get really bright under direct sunlight
how about the motheboard bro
What about the latest hyperos update? Also any ghost touch problem?
Nothing so far
What about the ads. Is it like xiaomi like we can turn it off or it's still going to pop now and then in the system?
Theres tutorials, you can turn them off.
What is the music in your intro ?
Watching from my Poco x6 pro it is as good as the say❤😊
X6 pro Vs f6 .... Which one better in your opinion
The room is "JUST 27 DEGREES CELSIUS"??? I would die! Anyway, thanks for the video!
@@PetrRaisiglwhat? where do you live
have you tried a game with a rooted gaming os?
Thanks for the review. Will you review infinix gt 20 pro? It got dedicated chip for fps boost and bypass charging . Still deciding wether to get x6 pro or gt 20 pro as 2nd phone for gaming purposes.
X6 Pro has better chipset performance and better screen quality, while GT 20 will give a better gaming experience through 120 fps options on multiple games, better gaming space, longer battery life during gaming session, and the bypass charging you mentioned.
Actually very interested to check it out, I have to try get in touch with the PR and see if I can review one, will keep you updated!
Man thx i've seen test where the phone wasn't great at genshin and HSR i guess it wasn't 12/512 but i still can't decide between poco x6 pro and honor Magic 6 or 5 pro 😅😭
I really wanna buy this but the motherboard issue scares me😭, 3/4 of my friends who use poco lose their phone due to the heating and mb issue
My experience with using POCO phones for 4+ years at this point, and a heck ton of my friends use it as well, I haven't heard of any mobo problem at all, in fact none had any kind of problems at all, and we all play games on daily basis haha
I advice you don't, I lost my poco too
Bro that's Maher Zain playing in the background 😂😂 10:00
Never really considered Chinese phone but how would one of these compare to a Pixel 6?
Really good performance on Genshin ngl. If I put on the same graphical settings I have currently on my tablet (which has snapdragon 870) I believe I could get constant 60 with this phone. Since I can get 55+ on normal gameplay with little to no dips on my tablet already with my mix of high and med graphics.
X6 Pro is the actual X3 Pro upgrade (I also have X4 GT as current main).
I am not gamer. I am stuck between poco x6 pro vs. samsung a54. Which one do you advice.
Go with Moto or Mi ones. Poco famous for dead boot or motherboard failure after the warranty period expires. check for extended warranty for poco for safe bet.
samsung anyday poco's camera is extremely sh3t
Playing Wuthering waves is the real gaming test as its the most GPU demanding game currently
Don't expect to much on Mali gpu
The inbuilt ada are annoying no way to remove them directly into the launcher and if you change your launcher no gesture control supported for third party launcher
Bro you will turn it off in the phone settings, not in the launcher
Hello Kenneth Great Review,
Should i buy Poco F6 or Poco X6 Pro ? What do you recommend ?
That’s a great question, I’ll try to address that in my F6 review so stay tuned!
Can you try review Meizu 21 5g?
Waiting for Poco F6 pro. But based on stats given by its china counterpart, Redmi Turbo 3...the x6 Pro might actually come out on top this time around.
Not only that, it's far more balanced as a phone too.
Is the 8/256 is the same good as 12/512? Because my budget can only be maximum at 8/256 (I'm sorry for the grammar English isn't my main language)
basically, yes
As a gamer Between poco f5 and x6 pro which should i go for
This is the tricky question as both are equally good, I think it comes down to which phone design you like better, but generally I still lean towards the F5
I own the Note 10 Pro, an awesome phone, but i think of upgrading because the 732G is showing its age. 1800 nits is also very useful!
Why do we need cameras on gaming phones??? Get the camera off and install coolers, jack ports extra usb C port on the side and shoulder buttons... On a gaming phone people are looking mostly into the screen quality and performance...cameras are just raising the costs of the device😊
No-camera Gaming only phone is going to be a niche product. Ans you could always buy a cooler.
@@jiffonbuffo I totally agree....but you can have 1 or two cameras instead of 4... The focus should remain on the gaming... So triggers/shoulder buttons...bigger screens (where applicable) extra usb C port etc...
@@theaceofspades7121 4 cameras does not mean they have actually focused on the camera, it's camera is sh3t af
Is dimensity 7200 good ?I had short budget about 100$ short
I've had Redmi Note 12 pro 5g and after upgrading to Hyperos, that wasn't it ▪︎
8 ball pool game requires sensitive touch and smoothness on phone screen and idk does Poco X6 (or pro) can provide that..
If it can i would be willing to give a chance ●
The temperature measurement in smartphone are kinda cliche, you can only see the battery temp where on the other side there are a lot to look for like CPU GPU and memory which is not possible to measure
I personally want to focus on the most important temperature which is the one you feel on your hands while gaming, because it directly affects the comfort while playing
@@namedkenn yeah congratulations
