Introducing the Poco X6 Pro: a standout in the mid-range realm, prioritizing performance above all else. I’ve got my hands on the striking yellow variant, packing a hefty 12GB RAM and a capacious 512GB storage. Under the hood, it’s fueled by the Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset, surprising us with its stellar benchmark performance, as I’ll demonstrate in this video. Poco made it clear that while other mid-range contenders often tout their camera prowess, they’re doubling down on sheer speed and power here, folks. Let’s break down the specs: leading the charge is the top-tier MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra, complemented by a dazzling 120Hz refresh rate AMOLED display. The camera setup doesn’t disappoint either, featuring a 64-megapixel main shooter with optical image stabilization, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. Charging? Lightning-fast with the 67W turbocharging, backed by a substantial 5,000mAh battery. And to sweeten the deal, Poco includes a sleek matte finish case for added protection. But let’s talk aesthetics – that yellow hue is pure eye candy, with a textured finish for better grip. Plus, the design’s flat edges ensure a confident hold, while the accentuated power and volume buttons add a touch of sophistication. Upfront, the centrally placed front-facing camera ensures an uninterrupted viewing experience. And don’t forget the thoughtful inclusion of a Type-C SIM tray for added convenience. In short, the Poco X6 Pro isn’t just about flashy looks; it’s a powerhouse performer in every sense.
The additional unit, cleverly designed to resemble a camera, actually functions as the flash. And speaking of cameras, the front one is a 16-megapixel selfie camera. While it boots up, we slip on the case—pretty basic stuff with a big opening for the camera, just to get you started. There’s a neat gradient effect on the side here, giving it a bit of flair. If that’s too flashy for you, there are also gray and black options available. Now that the device is powered up, let’s dive into some benchmarking before we explore further. We’ll switch to performance mode, which does affect battery life, but it’s to showcase the phone’s top performance. Surprisingly, performance mode doesn’t drain the battery significantly more than the balanced mode—less than an hour’s difference overall. Let’s fire up Antutu and run some tests. The overall score comes in at an impressive 114468, especially considering this is a mid-range phone. Starting with GPU testing, the benchmark essentially puts the phone through its paces with graphics that resemble a video game, serving as a baseline against similar devices. As the test progresses, it moves on to CPU testing, demonstrating why Poco is proud to tout this as the highest benchmark figure for an X Series device.
This X Series device boasts the pinnacle of performance, making it a standout choice for gaming enthusiasts. With the CPU tasks ticked off, we’re now delving into UX testing, PDF processing, and JPEG decoding, and we’re already cruising at 80% completion. And the latest score? A solid 446, marking a notable uptick. While there might be minor performance tweaks, we’ve actually outperformed our previous tests. Our breakdown covers everything from CPU and GPU to memory and UX performance, all neatly displayed alongside temperature monitoring on the benchmark screen. However, you won’t find the score submitted just yet; this device is still under wraps, hence the disabled network connections. In practical terms, this translates to smooth gaming sessions with minimal concerns about throttling or erratic frame rates – music to gamers’ ears. In the heat of gameplay, precision is paramount, especially for our target audience. The banter and jubilation of victory reverberate through every exchange.
The victory music sets the tone as we explore the features of the Poco X6 Pro. Swiping down unveils a menu brimming with options: video, portrait, night mode, and more. There’s even a 64-megapixel mode for those high-resolution shots, alongside Pro settings for fine-tuning. Adjust white balance, aperture size, and shutter speed to your liking.
Let’s start with the standard photo mode. With just a tap, we can capture images at 1x, switch to ultra-wide for a broader perspective, or zoom in at 2x. The camera’s versatility shines, offering both reach and breadth. But it’s the main camera that steals the show with its stellar performance.
Now, onto video mode. Choose between 1080p at 30/60 fps or step up to 4K at 30/24 fps. Activating HDR enhances your footage, though it comes at the cost of losing the 1080p 60 fps option. Let’s put it to the test with a 4K 30 fps video, assessing not just the visuals but also the audio quality recorded by the microphone.
Autofocus impresses with its speed and accuracy, ensuring every shot is perfectly captured. Stabilization keeps the footage steady, even as we walk around testing different environments.
Exploring the device further, we notice it feels lighter than expected. The audio experience is elevated thanks to dedicated grills at the top and bottom, delivering a stereo-like sound that immerses you in your content.
And let’s not forget about charging. With a 5,000 mAh battery and a 67 W charger included in the box, powering up is a breeze. Simply slap it on and watch it charge quickly.
In conclusion, the Poco X6 Pro offers remarkable performance in the mid-range segment, making it a compelling choice for tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
