Poco F6 Pro Review | A Proper Pixel 8a Rival?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- Reviewing Xiaomi's Poco F6 Pro, an upper mid-range smartphone taking on the Pixel 8a with its Light Fusion camera tech, almost-flagship gaming performance and premium display. The Poco F6 Pro will be hitting the UK soon, from 499 GBP same as Google's handset. I've been using it as my phone for about a week now so here's my verdict!
Yes, in some ways the Xiaomi Poco F6 Pro is as good or better than the Pixel 8a and many other mid-range phones. That 1440p screen is beautifully sharp, with Dolby Vision and HDR10 support. Gamers will enjoy blazing through Genshin Impact and other quality titles, with Xiaomi's HyperOS gaming mode to help out.
And the Poco F6 Pro's camera setup is also good, as long as you don't mind boosted photos with richer tones. You don't get a telephoto lens, but that quibble aside, you'll capture good looking pics and up to 8K video.

Cheers for watching my review! Full comparison vs the Poco F6 is live now if you wanna compare with the £399 sibling...
Pls I want a comparison of Poco f6 pro with tecno Camon 30 premier..🎉
No IP rating & No gorilla glass protection??
Hey brother, what icon pack/theme are you using? I've been looking for a theme like that.
1) see new android review
2) skip to battery performance part
3) skip to camera performance part
4) realise my current phone is still fine
Exactly :D
Yep, wish i could fix that volume down button though..
Same. My Find X2 pro is still a great phone. I hope to get another year out of it before security updates stop.
5) Get into emulation
6) find out about winlator and suyu
7) try running it
8) buy the F6 pro
@@dabigbadwolf5081
9) grow up old enough to realise that games are just a waste of time and not the only thing the phone is used for
the f6 and f6 pro looks way better in terms of specs as compare to samsung midrange this year, ngl. they even fixed the main and night camera😮
Always do tbh lol
"this year"💀
they always had the better hardware and the worst software on earth wouldn't buy neither but if I was forced to I'd pick Samsung's
@@3mar00ss6 Oh trust me, there's far worse software than HyperOS.
Samsung A series are always 🤡🤡🤡
@@Cantripping pity.
I'm more interested if the nonstop focus hunting when recording a video (using the main camera) is still present or has been improved?
Are colours on the main and selfie camera show natural, true to life colours the way you see in real life?
Is there still skin smoothing on the selfie camera?
And are the front & rear cameras HDR been improved since last year?
Will there be a review on the xperia 10 vi?
Hey nice review, does this have dc dimming?
Is the camera better than the Redmi Note 13 Pro plus?
Do you know if it can be activated with any operator here in the USA to be able to use it for calls?
Wish you had talked more about its TCL C8 OLED display. How's the viewing angles? Any discoloration? Brightness? Some Chinese tech reviewers said it's better than they expected. I hope you reply to this comment.
I haven't had any issues with the brightness, even had some proper sunlight here to test it against, autobrightness worked perfectly, dims down low in evenings. No distortion when tilting either
@@TechSpurt Great! Thanks!
Avatar? Chris, you're a man with great taste. 😎
Great what is the major difference between the 2 variants 6 and 6 pro .
for an all rounder phone, should i go for this or a oneplus 11?
Insane that this will get the same amount of updates as Sony's new Xperia 1 VI.
Maybe, at some point, if they get around to it
Both are bad at updates
I don't care. Xiaomi lost me when they started taking away all the features like Apple and Samsung. They now eve took away our ability to switch off the screen while hearing a UA-cam video or downloading game files etc.
I'll rather get the Sony phone that still gives me an SD card and a headphone jack and has no annoying screen hole.
@@SIPEROTH The SD card is a dying specie in the smartphone market, since the internal storage is much faster. Better get used to it. The headphone jack is a meme at this point, since it is not mandatory and wireless headphones are more comfortable. Soon all phones will remove it... Move on with the times.
Which poco or Xiaomi phone have the best processor and camera for live streaming under +-£350-450?
mann that nino wallpaper on a thumbnail of a phone review from 1m sub channel is wild 🤣
Which POCO phone has better cameras in photo/video specs and processing? F6 Pro or X6 Pro?
To be honest I found that poco f6 is really good and I want to buy it so do you see it's good ?
which star wars series was that?
Can u do a gaming comparison between it and the Poco x6 pro
Damm instant new video xDD
Poco f6 pro or Xiaomi 13T pro? Which one is good in overall performance?
Bro that wife joke was wild
Its a Poco - wait 3 months and save £200+
Unlikely. I've looked up the X6 pro the last few months and it never really fell under the early bird price.
I already got the Poco F6 for roughly 130 less. There is some promo on their official website going on right now.
@@BMXWillie1000what? Really?
@@ahoj132_at_azet_sk It's the early bird discount
At the F-series, they always do early bird events where you can get them under 400€
this, a55 or Xiaomi 13T Pro ?
I love my Poco F2 Pro and I just got another F2 Pro second hand of course 🎉 pop up camera 🤳🏾 is definitely an accidental eye catcher when I do face unlock 😅
Same here, I also have f1, f3, f4 gt, f5😂😂😂
Damn! I'm using F2 Pro too. It's time for an upgrade. Waiting for the F6 Pro to be more available in my region.
Mine still works great too on Android 10 and miui 11 as I haven't bothered doing updates. The pop up camera still works after 3 years surprisingly.
If mine didn't get a problem with the battery connector sticking to the rear for the second time I would still be rocking it today. Sadly needed to spend a month away in repair land so I replaced it with a used S22 Ultra and it has convinced me to keep going with used in the future, but once I got my F2 Pro back I happily gave it to a family member who is still enjoying it plenty.
Where do you get your wallpapers?
Some hentai sites 🙀🙀🙀
From wallpaper abyss
@@charliedonaldson5136How sure are you? Just want to confirm. I really want to get HD Anime Wallpapers like Mr. Spurt.
Wow your fast, the phones only just released and bam a review 👍
They get the phone before and release it on the same day
@@zrlsh9246 I know he's well organised and prepared
He's had it for weeks 😂
last year after watch your poco f5 review went to buy it. after using nearly a year final review is that the processor is superb screen ok but its OS IS VERY LACKING IN FEATURES
Tell me where can i get these wallpapers...plz oz
looking for a quick replacement phone, this or the samsung a55? or any other worthy shouts in that range?
bro, its not even close, this phone eats a55
Description of the back pattern was quite unique 😂😂
Brooooo where the hack do you get those kawaii wallpapers mannn I want some
All from wall dot alphacoders dot com, those guys owe me a fortune in referrals 😅
@@TechSpurt Great 👍. Another question do you prefer the Poco f6 more or a55 I heard the cameras are similar
Wondering between this or OnePlus 12R
00:02 Poco F6 Pro offers impressive performance with a 120W fast charging and 50MP camera.
01:42 The Poco F6 Pro has a durable and sleek design.
03:23 Poco F6 Pro offers great theming and security features
05:06 Poco F6 Pro has a high-resolution display and impressive color reproduction.
06:48 Poco F6 Pro offers powerful performance and cool gaming features
08:25 Poco F6 Pro offers impressive battery life and super-fast charging
10:00 Poco F6 Pro enhances colors for visually appealing images
11:41 Poco F6 Pro's camera offers decent results with stabilization and low light footage.
I'm thinking to get a new phone. I already have one of course, but i don't use it for gaming, and I just want a 2nd phone just for that. Should i go for F6 Pro or regular one?
go for pro, it has better performance than the regular
Well is it??
Hai, please make a review on Nubia Focus Pro 5G. 😊
Can you drop your Wallpaper's link
Where did you get those wallpapers?

Had the poco f3 and the poco x4 gt. This might be my next phone. Bit concerned about no headphone jack.
Solid 😮🔥
*I have had Poco F3 and currently got Poco F5, probably go to a different brand next upgrade, same old cams and no video out.*
Mid-spec price but flagship-esque specs is always a great combo
I had Gorilla Glass 5 on a Poco F2 Pro and Victus on my current S22 Ultra and over half the time the Victus picked up a lot more light scratches from everyday wear and tear, I was confident running with no screen protector on the Poco and not so with the S22.
From what I know, victus is way shock proof than glass 5 but more scratch prone
Maan I just decided to get the Xiaomi 13T and you come out with this video
13T has way better camera
Same here, I bought the s22 ultra few days ago.
Coming from redmi note 10s( I miss the IR blaster and MIUI) haha
same here idk if its worth buying poco f6 pro but i give it try
Does bloatware actually matter? You just delete it. Minor chore when you first switch on the phone.
Only if u can delete all of em.. some of those Chinese app can't be delete
@@christopherng5847 you can delete them.....
@@christopherng5847I was able to delete everything and turn off all ads in my Poco X6 Pro. Even then just use Android debloater.
crazy pics
Can you please tell me where you get this bloody good wallpaper
alphacoders
Wow excellent.
Your Poco F6 Pro will get SD 8 gen 2? Ours in Asia will get SD 8"s" gen 3, which is lower performance to the 8 series.
no its the f6 reguler that use 8s gen 3
f6 pro use 8 gen 2
Happy to stick with the F5 for now, probably wait for the F7 that is slated to have the 8+ Gen 3
great review man, i just ordered the white 12gb 256..there isnt a 3.5 headphone jack..will i be able to use an adapter like i do with my pocco f3 5g ?? thanx
Yes you can
Wuthering waves Will be new graphics standard, more demanding than genshin until genshin does their mobile graphics update
That do-not-disturb behavior is an issue for me too. Why Xioami? Why?
Grabbed the normal F6 for 295, can't beat that deal for the hardware. 😊
i wanna compare it to xiaomi 13t pro and motorola edge pro 50, especially cameras
Love you too Uncle Spurt
Why does my comment keep getting deleted?
What is better to buy? iPhone 14 Plus 128GB or Poco F6 Pro 16/1TB?
if u’re on android ecosystem buy poco ofc, vice versa of u’re on apple ecosystem
Noice. Though still no DP-Alt. The Moto Edge + 2023 wins again.
My day to day phone is the Xiaomi 13t pro, but I settled for the POCO x6 pro in February 2024 as my travel device , the only extra on the F6 in my books is the quicker 120W as opposed to my 67w hmmmmmm 15 mins quicker charge. But I got the banana yellow which F6 doesn't have.
Typing this on my Poco F3. Ordered Poco F6 Pro this afternoon. Bottle of whisky ordered.
Me to! 🍾😅
I just ordered whiskey. X3 Pro User here.
Me too.
@@arkadiusw.897 I am commenting on the loco x3 pro, even after years it runs and goes without any problems. I just had to change the screen because I emerged the phone under water. In fact my phone survived 3-4x water damage, but this last time it couldn't work anymore. Incredible.
My Pixel 8a just arrived today a steal at the current UK prices. Would have been tempted by the Poco F6 if I waited thiugh not gonna lie 🤥😅
How is the pixel working ?
@@christopherng5847 It's working fine thanks 😊
No worries, 8a is still a banger 😉
@@christopherng5847He just made a big mistake. He just wasted his money for nothing. You should never be involved with any pixel phones, give yourself 3 weeks and you will hate your pixel device 😅😅😅. Working? Bro pixel phones doesn't work that bullsheed called Exynos inside that doesn't work man 😅
Nice to see photos from my home city of Norwich. It can have some black spots for signal to be fair!! 😁😁
I used this phone for a week. I bought it 512GB with 12 GB RAM.
All i can say is a good phone. Poco is improving better after i switch to poco M5 and X3 Pro.
1:46 No because that joke was insane...
🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
i Find uoy reviews very good, but the only problem is most of these phones aren't even sold in the U.S., like Xiaomi none of the popular networks carry them, so I don't even now if any if their networks would work with them, plus have any support for them.
Aye, shame that pretty much none of them make it over there. No wonder everyone's wandering around with an iPhone
who cares about US? Flossy Carter tells you on witch carrier they work and you can get them from giztop with no problem.
This f6 pro or Infinix GT 20 Pro better?
F6 pro w no doughnuts
I need this wallpaper
I want that wallpaper 😭
Same here
I challenge you the next review i want you to set a wallpaper of Shiina Mahiru ❤❤❤
Not seen 'The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten', cracking name though! Worth a watch?
@@TechSpurt I can see you are also into romcom anime. Yes, It's my favorite so far, besides 'Dangers in my heart'.
I really like your reviews but can we see how these new phones are dealing with Call of Duty Mobile for example 🤔 I'm sure that a lot of people want to see,cheers !
I've always liked Xiaomi phones, but you can no longer officially buy them in Finland. I think I'll buy the next Nothing Phone A model if it's still affordable.
Awesome little device. I don't think I need an upgrade (yet), but the new Poco F6 seems to genuinely kick ass!
Which phone are you referring to as little device
Is there no wireless charging on it?
No. It's not a flagship
Ok it's just my f5 pro has it and I like it on my phones
Nice wallpaper
What is the IP rating for Poco F6 Pro?
IP54
Can you compare it with tecno camon 30 premier please
bro, this is also what I'm waiting for, I'm looking for a phone that has a good camera that can also handle online games, have you already decided what to buy? please help me too😭
Why no other phone company make screen like Nubia Z60 Ultra and Redmagic 9 Pro?
cz its expensive?
@@kyrosite1810 I think it's been patterned by nubia
Great review, called self "bald tech twat" thats a sub from me 🤣👌🏻
Gorilla glass 5 is 100x better than victus, victus just scratches so easily.
Not with a screen protector it won't
Does it have wireless charging?
As he mentions in the review, no it doesn't
NO MACRO CAMERA, NO BUTTON FINGERPRINT READER, NO 3.5MM JACK, IT'S A DOWNGRADE. NOT A POCO IN MY BOOKS.
poco f6 pro or samsung a55 what do you think?
i already use x6p so i will choose a55 for the knox vault and ui
@@kyrosite1810 what you get with knox?
I swear non in-display fingerprint sensors are more rare than under 6 inch phones nowadays, even including the budget ones!
I still find it weird that Poco F is going away from side mounted fingerprint sensor myself. It's such a QoL feature over in display.
I need whatever you're smoking. Display fp are way better
rather get the pixel 8a or the OnePlus 12r
Always with the good review. Had high hopes for the poco f6 pro but quite dissapointed this time with the build and the OS.
Seems like a downgraded F5 pro.
@@Rizwaan122It seems upgraded to me: better processor, brighter display, faster charging, metal build instead of plastic.
But there are 2 downgrades: 160 mAh less battery, no wireless charging.
Square design ✅
Waterproof ❌
Come on Spurt, you can do better. Is the X100s blue or green? Looks bastard blue to me but vivo say green.
Why no headphone jack
Because they're dead
Poco f6 pro or nothingphone2?
Nothing phone has way better software
If you can get that lamborghini editiob though..1 tb
Review Redmi K70 pro please, they look identical
It's the same device different name
@@rahulsolanki8385No it's not, this is a k70 rebrand. There's no k70 pro for global, k70 pro is the same but with 8 gen 3
With wired charging so good, does not need wireless 😎
The smudging on the camera bump is so annoying 😭
Yeah that's why I bought the normal F6
Is it really better than the F5 pro or X6 pro??
It should be, especially the cameras, the cam on my f5 pro is average.
@@Usersf134sskThat's 🧢 I own the F5 pro and the camera is probably the highlight of the phone. The F5 pro camera is better than these 2 tbh
Poco F series are generally performance minded, and in that regard it's a yes.
X6 pro is better
And has more updates
x6pro = who are you?
F6 pro= iam you but stronger
Nino wallpaper, nah okay say no more bro, you get a subscriber in me.
😂😂😂
No 2x Zoom in Portrait?!
Cameras have always been garbage on Poco phones
we want comparison with x6 pro
There is nothing to compare. The F6 Pro demolishes the X6 Pro in every possible way.
@@Anima19879 for the price it was comparable
