That goes without saying. You almost NEVER "need" to upgrade if you have a device that's only one generation behind. This goes for pretty much any other kind of consumer tech product out there but most especially for handsets. It's hardly ever an "upgrade." Most of these things are designed to last the average consumer a few years before becoming obsolete.
@@sarper94Better build materials as aluminum frame. Bad build quality means that the phone screen falls off in a month or something, Also S23 FE only have better camera maybe over the F6 that have better cpu, screen, charger and pretty much everything. S23 FE can be compared to F5 with it's similar performance.
Malaysia Poco prices are like same as in China for the Redmi Turbo 3. In Europe you cant get the phone under 400 euro even. And it was advertised for 3 OS updates for phones that come with HyberOS or some even that had MIUI 14

Hi, may I know how did you make the right swipe on home screen show google news instead of the xiaomi's default junk of widgets and recommended apps? Thanks
Everything in the video was great, but it's the only review, out of the 10-15 ive read & watched, that said the battery life was bad, because all those other ones, said otherwise.
Also something I've noticed. Others consistently mention a good battery life also compared to the Xiaomi 13t which was considerably better in their test.
Poco F3 was the first phone to define poco as both performance, display and value champ. It had above average build quality, slim body, great battery and macro camera that actually worked. F3 was some sort of the pinnacle of poco lineup. There were always progress in Poco phones but not as prominent as jumping from poco f1 to f2 or f2 to f3.
Build quality ??? What the ef is that ?? People talk about build quality but actually talk about build materials. We see stress test done to phones and none of them lose the screen or drop it off the phone body to say that the build quality is bad. iPads have good build materials but still bend easy so not so good build quality even with good materials.

Your comment made me check the price. So glad I pulled the trigger a couple of days ago and got the F6 12GB for £275 + £75 trade in for an old A41. Now £449, phew! PS finding the battery good and the charge speed is incredible 👍
@@OneDollaBill yeh they certainly were up to a few days ago. 12GB was down to £369 then 20% off code and a further £20 off for PayPal 0% credit and finally an extra £50 trade in value on top of your old phones valuation. So essentially paid £200, can't grumble at that. A few steps but worth it! Same price for both now but that's the 8GB version F6.
My Poco F5 is almost a year old and I'm contemplating upgrading to F6, however I feel like maybe I will be underwhelmed by the upgrade since the F5 is still a very good phone for my needs.
I upgraded from F5 and it's still a big and worthy upgrade: better screen, 40% faster, higher storage if you chose 512 GB model with 12 GIG of ram. The only negative is battery isn't as long lasting as the F5. I've kept my F5 in case anything happens to this one.
Performance is great other than the abysmal battery life. Will have to charge this more than once per day depending on usage. Hope they will fix this on upcoming updates.

It's weird as the Poco F6 has better ingress protection and Gorilla Glass Victus. Some weird trade-off by Xiaomi. HyperOS is smooth and optimized but not power efficient. While the Snapdragon 8s gen 3 is power efficient. Battery life is as expected, average.

You should trickle charge every Xiaomi phones you test. Xiaomi only charges the phone to only 80% even it says it's full. I based it on my observation, the charger is still hot even it's already 100%
usually it need around 30 mins more to fully charge after it hit 100%, already confirmed this with my many xiaomi phones with a cable that have a built in wattage meter. When it say that it's 100%, the meter on the cable will still show a full current intake by the phone for a further 10 mins before it finally begin to slowly strickle down and stop charging. lol
Xiaomi 13T Vs Poco F6 in front & rear cameras photo quality (accurate colours of skin tones, foliage, sky, innanimte objects) and minimal to zero focus hunting when recording video in 1080p or 4K?
I just hope that they place the Poco and Camera specs labeling better. I'm comfortable with the camera lens design but the clean Poco logo in my F4 or F5. It just makes the phone cheap like it supposed to be.
It's an awesome phone, I think. The coolest feature is the erase pro in editing photos. It's funny though. Instead of erasing the object it was rather replaced. For example, I tried erasing the PC monitor but it was replaced by a flower vase and a diffuser, like what? Hahaha
Hello mate. If choosing between the Poco F6 and the non-Plus Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G who you think 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?
To keep it cheap, the best value products tend to be sold in the places they are made in, or close to or something. Like how Oneplus tends to be cheaper in India compared to other places
Yeah i'd also get the 12r for that kind of price difference, beter software ad better main camera I'm eyeing the 12R too and in my country i can get the 12r for 600 euros and the poco for 420 euros and I still think that its worth it even with suh a difference in price
