Poco X6 Pro review

[Music] this is a new performance Centric mid-ranger from Poco the Poco X6 Pro 5G is a PO X6 Pro a competitive choice if you're looking for a mid-range phone I'm will for GSM Marina and let's find out in our full [Music] review Poco has a couple of new X Series mid-rangers the Poco X6 and the Poco X6 Pro and today we're talking about the pro model while both phones have a high reses OLED display and fast charging the pro model has a more powerful mediatech chipset plus it comes with xiaomi's new hyper OS interface out of the box though the regular Poco X6 will get that via an update in the black color way the X6 Pro's back is glossy and mirrorlike it's made of plastic and attracts smudges and dust quite easily the back is flat but the edges curve slightly into the matte plastic frame the design is similar to other pocos with the big logo next to the cameras both the Poco X6 and Poco X6 Pro are ip54 rated for dust and splash protection still submerging the phone wouldn't be a good idea the X6 pro has an OLED display with a highres 1220p resolution an upgrade over the 1080p of last year the display is 6.67 in with a 120 HZ refresh rate it's nearly the same as the Poco x6's screen although for some reason that phone has gorilla glass victus protection but the Pro Models has Gorilla Glass 5 you get a sharp resolution at 446 PPI and thin bezels too for a premium look the display has great color accuracy and support for HDR 10 plus video and Dolby Vision the phone's refresh rate is adaptive in your typical fashion it can go from a smooth 120 HZ down to 60 HZ when the screen is idling to save energy and for brightness we measured a maximum of around 520 nits with a manual slider and this can boost to 1150 nits in auto mode which is great somehow the vanilla Poco X6 is a bit brighter though there's no headphone jack this year but the PO X6 Pro stereo speaker setup has very good loudness and the sound quality is good with solid vocals and mids you can listen for yourself through the provided length the Poco X6 pro has an optical under display fingerprint scanner and is quick and reliable and the phone comes with 256 or 512 gigs of storage but that's not expandable through micro SD the PO X6 Pro is the first phone we've seen running xiaomi's new hyper OS interface out of the box and it's on top of Android 14 if you're used to xiaomi or Poco phones you'll still be able to easily find your way around the changes are mostly visual for example a new systemwide font one of the major changes is in the control center it's now redesigned to remove the text labels of the icons they're just symbols now of course course just as before the notification panel is separate from the control panel and there aren't really any changes to it here Mii has always been very customizable and Hyper OS Builds on that with further options to personalize the lock screen and the multi- window interface is updated with new buttons and it's somewhat more intuitive with Hyper OS there's also support for two types of large folders there's enlarged and XXL the chipset of the phone is a mediatech dimensity 8300 Ultra so far it appears appears exclusive to the Poco X6 Pro and it's China only alra ego the redmi k70e in benchmarks the Poco X6 Pro does a great job topping the charts among similarly priced phones the performance is Leaps and Bounds above the vanilla Poco X6 as well as popular devices like the Samsung Galaxy a54 there's more than enough power here for a solid gaming experience especially for this price range on top of that the X6 Pro's thermal management is impressive it didn't throttle much during our prolonged stress test and what throttling did happen was quite gradual the X6 pro has a 5,000 mAh battery capacity just like last year it's not breaking any battery life records with an active use score of 11 hours and 46 minutes but it delivers generally good numbers across the board the 67 W charging is again from last year and is quite fast too we were able to charge from 0 to 83% in half an hour and a full charge took 43 minutes the camera setup of the Poco X6 Pro is the same as the non-pro there's a 64 map main cam with ois an 8 map Ultra wide and a 2 map macro camera the main cam produces 16 megapixel photos and they're solid the detail level is good though the rendition of fine details and textures could be better the dynamic range is okay colors are well saturated but there is a bit of extra warmth in outdoor shots portrait mode on the X6 Pro captures images in the main camera's native field of view the subject detection works very well and the blur level is relatively convincing there's a two-time zoom and the results are nice there's a good amount of fine detail even if it's once again not the most natural looking rendition in low light the X6 Pro does have an automatic night mode but it only activates in very dark conditions still otherwise the photos come out well exposed with good development in the shadows and slightly harsh but still acceptable highlights there's plenty of detail and the noise is well contained there is a dedicated night mode you can enable but it honestly doesn't make much of a difference every now and then night mode might lift the Shadows a bit but there's no pattern to the behavior the main camera captures okay 4K videos there's a good amount of detail but it's a bit artificial looking the contrast is a bit too high as well color saturation is good but the auto white balance remains off just like in The Stills electronic stabilization is always on but it's not the best when walking you get Focus hunting on almost every step hands are smoother at least in low light the main camera record records videos with decent quality for the class detail is very good dynamic range is great there's no loss in color saturation it's just that they are a bit shaky the ultra wide camera on the X6 Pro delivers a Soo performance detail is okay for the 8 megap resolution but dynamic range is fairly limited especially at the Highlight end colors are a bit anemic too the ultrawide camera's output in the dark isn't too bad all things considered the photos aren't the sharpest but they're sharp enough dynamic range is good and color rendition is okay if a little muted again there's not a whole lot of difference if you enable the dedicated net mode videos from the ultrawide come out in 1080P and they have good enough detail though the color saturation leaves more to be desired close-ups taken with the macro camera are underwhelming with little detail and Bland colors selfies from the X6 Pro come out at 16 megapixels the detail is okay but could be better the white balance is off more often than not though the pH phone manages to maintain a likable skin tone presentation most of the time so that's the Poco X6 Pro you get a nice high-res display a solid main camera and a chipset with plenty of power to spare that chipset and the low light camera performance are the major differences between this phone and the non-pro Poco X6 if those aren't your priority then the cheaper model may be worth considering but with that aside the Poco X6 Pro is a solid and Powerful mid-ranger for the class and it's worth recommending thanks for watching guys if you're looking for alternatives to the Poco X6 Pro you can check out our reviews of the regular Poco X6 and the Samsung Galaxy a54 let us know what you think and I'll see you on the next one
