Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro

Powerful MediaTek processor ; Bright 120Hz OLED display ; Great main and selfie cameras

Bloatware ; Advertisements in some system apps ; Weak ultrawide and macro cameras

If you’re looking for a gaming powerhouse that won’t break the bank, the Poco X6 Pro is exactly what you need. It’s not perfect, but for the most part, it delivers a flagship experience at a fraction of the cost.

Outstanding performance for the money ; Advanced display ; Subtle design improvements ; Fast charging with adapter included

Camera not a huge improvement ; New HyperOS UI much like MIUI ; Rather bland looks, at least in black

The Poco X6 Pro makes some meaningful design improvements and ramps up the performance levels to new heights, resulting in an excellent budget-friendly gaming phone. It’s not quite the consummate all-round experience that some of its rivals can offer,...

Great display - sharp, bright, with a high refresh rate, and also Dolby Vision support.

The glossy black back is a fingerprint nightmare.

In the end, we'd say the Poco X6 Pro does a few things exceptionally, many things very well, and falls short in only a few areas. That makes it an easy recommendation in our book.

Lovely AMOLED displays. Decent battery life. Fast wired charging. X6 Pro delivers slick performance. Plenty of storage. X6 has a headphone jack.

Lots of bloatware. Limited water resistance. No wireless charging. Not sold in the US. Xiaomi's user interface is not the best. The Pro has better cameras, but both suffer in tougher lighting conditions.

Very good price-to-performance ratio ; Powerful processor ; Great display ; Already with HyperOS/Android 14 ; Long software support ; Good battery life

Camera system is only average ; Lots of bloatware ; No microSD support ; No 3.5 mm audio jack

Yes, the Poco X6 Pro is fun, even if it does have some weaknesses. This is actually par for the course, as smartphones priced below $400 inevitably have to make compromises here and there. In this case, Xiaomi fully focused on performance and ensures...

Speedy performer ; Stays cool during gaming ; HyperOS and Android 14 out of the box ; Good primary 64 MP OIS camera ; 3 years of OS updates

Portrait camera mode is a hit-and-miss ; Rear panel of non-leather models attracts fingerprints ; Tons of bloatware

Poco X6 Pro 5G is basically a rebranded Redmi Note 13 which is priced aggressively. To compete with these opponents, Poco has equipped X6 Pro with a new and flagship-level SoC that gives fast and efficient performance. Apart from the chipset, Poco has...
