Fan favorite Poco X Series is back with a bargain price and a 50MP sensor with OIS and a f/1.5 aperture Poco might not be a household name, but Xiaomi’s value phone brand is a hugely popular name among savvy tech enthusiasts for its low-cost phones that don’t suck Today Poco is launching its latest smartphones – the Poco X7 Pro and Poco X7 The phones stay true to the brand's ethos – small prices while ‘UltraSnap’ should ensure sharp snaps of fast-moving subjects The Poco X7 Series also features AI-powered tools including AI Erase Pro which allows you to remove unwanted elements from photos which helps improve composition by increasing the area around the edges of a photo the X7 Pro supports 4K recording at 60fps with dual stabilization (OIS and EIS) while the standard X7 offers 4K recording at 30fps Poco X7 Pro(Image credit: Poco)Poco X7(Image credit: Poco)The Poco X7 Series features flagship Dimensity processors (8400-Ultra for X7 Pro 7300-Ultra for X7) with advanced LiquidCool Technology 4.0 cooling and Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 2 operating system Both models have 1.5K 6.67" 120Hz AMOLED screen The Poco X7 Series starts at £249 for the Poco X7 with 8GB RAM + 256GB storage The Poco X7 Pro starts at £309 for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage or £349 for the 12GB + 512GB version working as a freelance photographer and videographer for the past several years having the privilege to shoot for some household names he has developed a range of skills covering everything from editorial shoots to social media videos he has a personal passion for travel and nature photography with a devotion to sustainability and environmental causes About ISD History of ISD Executive Board, Board of Directors and Fiscal Council Ombudsman Restricted area for employees Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS) Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (Anita) Postgraduate in Neuroengineering about the program Curriculum Matrix and Syllabuses faculty student body Student Area Teachers and Technicians Area Common questions Enrollment Residence - Health of People with Disabilities preceptors Common questions  Permanent Education Information booklets Scientific and Technological Initiation Open notices ICT Committee Members Move La América Neuroscience and Neuroengineering Research thematic axes Open Labs Technical staff Scientific publications Ethics Committee in research (CEP/ISD) educational modules CEP/ISD Contacts CONEP Guidelines CEP/ISD documents CEP/ISD Members CEP/ISD Schedule Brazil Platform ISD Ethics Committee on the use of Animals in Research (CEUA-ISD) CEUA/ISD forms CEUA/ISD members CONCEA legislation Barriguda Project - Quilombola Capoeira Community SNCT 2021 2022 2023 2024 Brain Week 2024 Career Suppliers Open doors News Press room Neuroengineering Symposium Day of the Care Network for people with disabilities Neurogenic Bladder Journey Science Fair - SNCT Neural Mechanisms of Cognitive Function Qualification as a social organization Management contract with MEC and transfers Federal Control Bodies Management contract report Institutional Documents The Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) was authorized by the State Department of Public Health (Sesap/RN) through the State Program IST/Aids and Viral Hepatitis inserted in the context of the agreement signed by the Bipartite Intermanagers Commission No 560/10 – CIB/RN and the Specialized Care Service for Pregnant Women and Children Living with HIV/AIDS – Maternal and Child SAE which consists of a combination of two antiretrovirals (tenofovir + emtricitabine) is a new method of preventing contamination by the HIV virus and is distributed free of charge in pill format by the Ministry of Health Prophylaxis will be dispensed through the Specialized Maternal and Child Care Service (SAE MI) of the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) operating at the Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (Anita) one of the ISD units in the area rural Macaíba The drugs that make up PrEP block certain “pathways” that HIV uses to infect the body the delivery of medication will take place from this month onwards for people who meet the specificities and who live in one of the municipalities in the 3rd Region 4th Region or 7th Region of Health (see list below) According to ISD's infectologist preceptor PrEP is aimed at individuals who may have sexual intercourse considered to be at risk for HIV PrEP must be taken daily and does not replace the use of other means of preventing HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) “We will cover and enable more points of care for patients eligible for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV there will be greater publicity about this HIV prevention strategy PrEP is one of the prevention strategies for HIV but it does not prevent the contamination of other sexually transmitted infections the use of PrEP and condoms; not sharing syringes when using drugs Individuals interested in using PrEP through Instituto Santos Dumont should be aware of the eligibility criteria when the delivery is authorized by the infectologist doctor is preceded by an outpatient consultation in which a questionnaire must be answered by the patient to support inclusion in the program Services related to PrEP will be concentrated on Wednesdays Thursdays and Fridays at the Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (Anita) Appointments should be made through the number: (84) 4042 0033 / 4042 0044 This new health service at the ISD will be one more possibility for trans women cis women with a serodiscordant sexual partner for HIV infection (when one has and the other does not have HIV infection) to plan a pregnancy assisted by a multidisciplinary team with the aim of reducing the risk of contamination of the baby as much as possible all reproductive planning actions for serodiscordant sexual partnerships This service is already carried out at the ISD for pregnant women living with HIV or who are partners of people living with the virus” the team responsible for PrEP is made up of infectologists Carolina Damásio and Manoella Alves obstetricians and gynecologists Larissa Rodrigues Freire Sandrégenes Maia and Thaíse Lopes;

with someone who is HIV positive and who is not on treatment; Makes repeated use of PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis to HIV); It presents frequent episodes of Sexually Transmitted Infections.In Natal through the Institute of Tropical Medicine (IMT) Look for a health professional and find out if you are indicated for PrEP and pick up your medication for free every three months See below the cities included in the PrEP dispensation program through the Santos Dumont Institute: Communication Office comunicacao@isd.org.br (84) 99416-1880 It is a Social Organization linked to the Ministry of Education (MEC) and includes the Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neurosciences and the Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center ISD's mission is to promote education for life forming citizens through integrated teaching in addition to contributing to a fairer and more humane transformation of Brazilian social reality Communication Officecomunicacao@isd.org.br(84) 99416-1880 Rural Area / CEP 59288-899Macaíba/RN – Brazil The Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa Alberto Santos Dumont is a Social Organization qualified by the Ministry of Education through Presidential Decree of February 27 The Poco F6 Pro doesn't come with an entirely new design. It is, in fact, a re-branded Xiaomi Redmi K70 Let's start from the back since it is the most exciting part of the design The material of the back is some sort of glass We particularly like the pattern on the back Poco is trying to imitate some sort of marble look with streaks and has done a rather great job of it You can have the Poco X6 Pro in either black or white color with streaking to match The extra-wide rectangular camera island has a certain charm of its own even if it is not the most original design out there The middle frame of the phone is made of aluminum and is color-matched with the backside It has a matte finish that looks and feels very elegant The nicely rounded corners make for a snug in-hand feel The F6 Pro has a pretty standard set of controls The volume rocker and power button sit on the right-hand side and are both well-positioned height-wise you don't get a notification LED or a 3.5mm audio jack The front of the Poco F6 Pro is pretty unassuming There is nothing particularly interesting to note here The large 6.67-inch flat AMOLED display is only interrupted by a pretty small selfie camera punch hole The display bezels are perfectly reasonable as well and definitely not too large All of the sensors are hidden away and not visible from the front side There is an under-display fingerprint reader on board Poco warns that using any form of extra display protection The Poco F6 Pro feels perfectly well crafted its back is glass with undisclosed toughness The front of the phone is covered with Gorilla Glass 5 - a bit of an odd choice given that the regular Poco F6 has Gorilla Glass Victus One unfortunate reality with the Poco F6 Pro is the lack of proper ingress protection That's even more odd considering that the vanilla Poco F6 gets IP64 Last year's POCO phone didn't offer any major improvement over its predecessor making the Poco F4's price hard to justify But the new Poco F5 is a different story: it's got the power you need But the price is starting to get a little high Xiaomi's POCO brand started out with a bang in 2018 with the POCO F1 a gaming phone with some killer specs for a fraction of the price of flagship handsets the company has expanded its range to include mid-range and low-end phones But the POCO F series is still its most important range and the new POCO F5 is the latest entry.  I've been using the POCO F5 for a few weeks now and I've been putting it through its paces I've been using it for everything from browsing the web to playing games to taking photos in order to find out how good the cameras are is the POCO F5 a worthy successor to last year's model The POCO F5 is available to purchase in the UK and the EU for £449 or €429 which gets you 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage This is the only configuration available officially via the Mi store If you grab a POCO F5 via Xiaomi UK's online storefront right now, you'll be able to snag it up for £429 thanks to an ongoing promo. Similarly, you'll get two months' worth of YouTube Premium membership as part of the company's offering that lasts until July 31 It's a demonstration of POCO's commitment to performance and it's reassuring to see the brand stick to its tradition with both the regular F5 and the POCO F5 Pro the POCO F5's performance is beyond reproach and I am able to play PUBG Mobile on maxed-out settings with no annoying stutter Titles like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile also deliver a fluid experience The day-to-day performance of the phone shows that it occupies the slot between recent flagship models and upper mid-rangers which is to be expected of the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 although I do notice occasional lag when returning to the home screen this does not occur often enough to be a major issue If you're looking for a phone that can handle even the most demanding games The 67W charging speed on the F4 is not a new feature but it's still a must-have for people who are always on the go it's great to be able to top up my phone in a short amount of time so I don't have to worry about running out of battery when I'm out and about I'm able to charge the phone from zero to 100% in 45 minutes you'll be able to use it all day long and still have enough juice left to watch a movie before bed That means you can finally stop worrying about your phone dying in the middle of a Netflix binge I manage to squeeze out a respectable eight hours of screen-on time with some gaming the latest model has a pleasing design that will turn some heads POCO sent me the white variant with a nice pattern of speckled blue color gradients that gives a three-dimensional texture effect a punch-hole cutout on the front for the selfie snapper and a glossy back that thankfully repels fingerprint smudges (Image credit: Jay Bonggolto / Android Central)(Image credit: Jay Bonggolto / Android Central)(Image credit: Jay Bonggolto / Android Central)The POCO F5 has the same 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED panel as its predecessor The screen is bright enough under direct sunlight making media consumption a particular treat which seems to be POCO's favorite formula for its mid-range models The main camera is also the same as before It captures stunning shots with decent detail and good dynamic range but only if there's enough light coming into the sensor I find the colors to be on the vibrant side during the day without being obtrusively lurid you may have noticed the proliferation of macro sensors paired with ultra-wide shooters as the default formula these days the macro sensor is not as useful as you'd like it to be (we'll talk about it in detail later) CategoryPOCO F5OSMIUI 14 based on Android 13Display6.67 inches Dolby VisionProcessorQualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 (4

chargingDimensions161.1 x 75 x 7.9mmWeight181gColorsBlack While the POCO F5 is no slouch in terms of performance it's a different story on the software side of things The biggest potential snag to my experience of using the phone comes from POCO's take on MIUI.  The latest version, MIUI 14, still lacks graceful icons But that's to be expected of Xiaomi's Android skin unless the company decides to take a new route That's not to say this is the worst UI in the industry you can hide these apps from the home screen although uninstalling some of them is impossible it has tamed the previous version's intrusive system ads which would otherwise ruin my overall experience the lack of ads is one of POCO's strengths to begin with Xiaomi is also keeping things the same with the camera on the POCO F5 It's also the same set of shooters for the F5 Pro the auxiliary cameras are not quite the best on the market It would have been a lot better to swap out the macro sensor with a telephoto shooter the phone crops in on the main camera when you're zooming in on a scene This is generally fine on a bright sunny day images tend to become soft when the sky is overcast but the auxiliary cameras are not the best Shots from the main sensor also tend to be a little too saturated and the noise levels tend to increase in darker areas with images becoming over-sharpened in this case This is solved when you switch to Night mode which does a solid job of lifting the brightness and reducing noise likely owing to OIS that allows for slower shutter speeds the default Photo mode doesn't produce bright shots at night Like most POCO smartphones I came across in the past the F5's ultrawide shooter still has trouble taming noise in dark areas of the scene its colors are not consistent with those of the main camera there's no practical use for the 2MP macro sensor While it captures images with adequate detail my selfies were a bit too blown out in the background The portrait mode does a decent job of isolating the subject from the background with some shots looking sharp while others tend to become soft depending on the amount of light available The POCO F5 is a great phone for the price, but it's not the best value option out there at £449. This is an £80 price bump over the POCO F4. At this price, you may be better off purchasing a Google Pixel 7a and the performance is up to par with the competition which is packed with features and customization options Samsung promises to support the Galaxy A54 with software updates for at least four years which is longer than most other Android phones you'll miss out on superb gaming performance and battery life with the Galaxy A54 The Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 chipset is one of the most powerful processors on the market so you can be sure that the POCO F5 will be able to handle anything you throw at it so you can go from empty to full in just a few minutes The Full HD+ 120Hz OLED display is incredibly smooth and responsive The POCO F5 is a step up from its predecessor in some ways but the auxiliary sensors are an afterthought The software is better out of the box than the previous POCO phone It is more user-friendly and has fewer bugs there are still loads of unwanted apps that can be annoying If you are looking for a phone with fast charging and reliable performance if you are looking for a phone with great sensors and a more refined UI The Poco F5 is a decent mid-range smartphone for the price It has two significant improvements over its predecessor: a faster processor and a larger battery capacity the rest of the specifications are nearly identical He has been writing about consumer tech and apps for as long as he can remember and he has used a variety of Android phones since falling in love with Jelly Bean Send him a direct message via Twitter or LinkedIn when you buy something through our retail links F6 has an IP64 rating.TIREDSoftware is not great No wireless charging.With so many excellent midrange smartphones available now Xiaomi’s Poco range pushes hardware expectations and the Poco F6 and F6 Pro are no exception The Poco F6 Pro (£499) struggles to justify the Pro tag but the cheaper Poco F6 (£399) is an absolute bargain (even more so if you bagged the early-bird price of £339) You will struggle to find this processing power or display quality elsewhere without paying more Xiaomi routinely rebadges affordable phones released in China under its Redmi brand as Poco phones for Europe and the rest of the world though they are not sold in the United States It ticks all the boxes with a gorgeous display though the software and battery life let it down some The Poco F6 could be the perfect phone for gamers on a budget this year and is almost compromise-free so I’ll focus on the Poco F6 in this review but I will drill deeper into the differences below The design is perhaps the least interesting thing about these phones but it is also the most obvious difference a gently curved shimmery back that doesn’t show finger smudges and two huge camera lenses at the top left flanked by a smaller flash but it also comes in black or a beige gold that Xiaomi calls titanium The F6 Pro has an aluminum frame and a glass back with a marble effect finish spanning almost the whole top of the F6 Pro with three medium-sized lenses and a flash in a symmetrical grid of four The F6 Pro is a touch thicker and heavier than its sibling and you can tell it is the more expensive of the two Photograph: Simon HillBoth phones have a fingerprint sensor under the screen, and it worked fine for me, usually unlocking the first time. But it is weirdly low compared with other phones, so I kept having to adjust the position of my thumb. Strangely, the F6 has a superior IP64 rating for water resistance and Gorilla Glass Victus to protect the screen while the F6 Pro is IP54 and has the older Gorilla Glass 5 These phones are almost identically sized, both boasting a 6.67-inch AMOLED with a 120-Hz refresh rate though you must activate it in the display settings with the F6 Pro at 3,200 x 1,440 pixels and the F6 at 2,712 x 1,220 pixels and the F6 Pro is supposed to get a bit brighter Both screens are sharp and bright enough to see outdoors These are solid phones for movie watching (if you must watch movies on your phone) with stereo speakers and support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ All products featured on Wired are independently selected by our editors we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links Photograph: Simon HillGame OnGaming is where it’s really at with the F6 and F6 Pro the Poco F6 is quite simply the fastest phone in its price bracket Whether you’re tearing around the track in Asphalt 9: Legends or slaying baddies in Genshin Impact the Poco F6 lets you crank the settings up and enjoy smooth gameplay While the Poco F6 got warm after a long gaming session But I was a little disappointed by the battery life you may have to reach for that charger before bedtime The F6 comes with a 90-watt charger and USB-C cable and takes around 40 minutes to fully charge The F6 Pro shaves a few minutes off with a 120-watt charger but that’s still rare in this price bracket The entry-level Poco F6 has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage I tested a step-up model with 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage (£449) The Poco F6 Pro comes with 12 GB of RAM as standard and a choice of 256 or 512 GB of storage There is also a 16-GB and 1-TB Pro model (£599) Photograph: Simon HillXiaomi Poco F6 and F6 Pro Nothing You Don't,” but these phones are packed with bloatware and you get a further two folders packed with crappy apps and games What’s harder to change is Xiaomi’s HyperOS but it still feels and looks more like Apple’s iOS than Android but I still hate the indecipherable quick settings icons and having to swipe down on the left for notifications or the right for settings Xiaomi promises a fairly average three Android upgrades and four years of security patches for these phones You can’t expect a top-tier camera in a phone at this price but I appreciate the approach Xiaomi has taken with the Poco F6 is a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 that captures good photos in various settings but it struggles in the dark or with moving subjects It is backed up by an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 20-megapixel front-facing camera 1 / 16ChevronChevronPhotograph: Simon HillPoco F6 The Poco F6 captures lots of detail and just about keeps everything in focus.The Pro adds a largely useless 2-megapixel macro camera but the main camera has a larger sensor to make the most of limited light It also has a 16-megapixel front-facing camera but colors are closer to reality on the F6 though only the Pro offers 24 frames per second for that cinematic feel While these phones are better across the board than last year’s Poco F5 and F5 Pro (6/10, WIRED Review), and the mid-year refresh Poco X6 and X6 Pro (7/10, WIRED Review) the cheaper F6 has lost one thing: the headphone port the Poco F6 is the clear pick this year and the most improved sibling I don’t think the Pro does enough to justify the extra cost If you can stretch your budget, the Pixel 8A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) tops our best Android phone guide. For something closer in price to the Poco F6, you might consider the Nothing Phone (2a) (9/10, WIRED Recommends). But for gamers on a budget, the Poco F6 is a winner.

It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking The Poco F6 Pro is an excellent Pixel 8a alternative for gamers despite weak secondary cameras and no wireless charging Xiaomi's Poco sub-brand is a dab hand at squeezing great specs into a budget body – but the Poco F6 Pro is the first in the line that doesn't feel budget it marries premium design with a fantastic-looking screen and packs flagship performance too Poco does make a few cuts to cram in all that power meaning the F6 Pro's secondary cameras are weak The phone also misses out on wireless charging while Xiaomi's HyperOS software – an already busy take on Android – presents a whole bunch of pre-installed bloatware.  While the F6 Pro is expensive for a Poco phone costing £499 (roughly $630/AU$940) for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage option (or £599 (roughly $760/AU$1,130) for the 16GB RAM/1TB storage option) it certainly crams in plenty of space for your apps and files – that's at minimum double the storage compared to the entry Pixel 8a The Poco F6 Pro is available to buy now online and at physical Xiaomi stores so you won't find Poco phones ranged by networks or carriers making them a great pairing for fans of SIM-only contracts the back panel has a shimmer to it that looks better on the white version in my view The matte metal frame is colour-matched to the back panel colour and a raised glass camera bump adds an extra flourish around the back of the phone The Poco F6 Pro's right side houses power and volume buttons At the base is a USB-C port and a dual-SIM slot and there's an IR blaster at the top so the phone can double as a TV remote control (Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)In the Poco F6 Pro's box you get a charging brick and an opaque black case and the phone also has a pre-fitted screen protector though the hardier IP67 Pixel 8a can be fully submerged The F6 Pro's screen is excellent for watching content While some phones like the Redmagic 9 Pro miss out on Netflix HD or HDR certification so streaming video takes advantage of the display's HDR10+ credential and peak HDR brightness of 4000 nits the F6 Pro climbs up to 1200 nits and is easy to see even on sunny days The minimum brightness isn't quite as low as Samsung's flagships but it still gets dim enough for comfortable low-light viewing without noticeable flicker The screen is smooth with a 120Hz refresh rate It can be set to either 60Hz or 120Hz in the settings or left to its own devices switching refresh rate based on what's on the screen.  the Poco F6 Pro's sound is loud and clean for the price it misses out when compared to pricier flagships from Apple but goes toe-to-toe with the best from Samsung and the Pixel 8a gamers will appreciate the Poco F6 Pro's value in terms of performance The 8 Gen 2 is still a top-tier chip that can run games like Genshin Impact at maxed-out graphics settings so the F6 Pro is one of the best value-for-money gaming phones you can buy With its metal frame and relatively slim body the F6 Pro doesn't dissipate heat like a dedicated gaming phone with a fan so it does heat up after 20-minute gaming sessions though dialling back the graphics settings or turning off performance mode helps Available in two RAM and storage options in the UK – 256GB/12GB or 1TB/16GB – Poco also loads the phone up with plenty of space for files and games the F6 Pro should comfortably last a couple of years at its base capacity unless you have a huge offline file library Poco commits to three years of software updates and four years of security updates this still doesn’t compete with the seven-year software update promise Google offers with the Pixel 8a.  the Poco F6 Pro's hardware is more future-proofed the Tensor G3 chip in the Pixel 8a is less powerful and the phone's UFS 3.1 storage is also slower than the F6 Pro's UFS 4.0 storage While it runs Android, Poco's interface experience is heavily customised. The F6 Pro is loaded up with a lot of bloat – games and apps that you can uninstall – and Xiaomi's HyperOS is also occasionally overbearing. While at the Xiaomi 14 Ultra's price occasional UI grumbles are much easier to make peace with Poco bundles in a 120W fast-charger with the F6 Pro powering it up in around 20-minutes which is incredibly quick – especially at the phone's price So while it misses out on the Google 8a's wireless charging fans of fast-charging might prefer Poco's solution The F6 Pro's battery lasts a full day with regular use unlike similarly priced phones like the OnePlus 12R and Redmagic 9 Pro The Poco F6 Pro's cameras arguably explain its relatively low price given its power and premium styling The primary 50-megapixel camera is a quality sensor with its respectably large 1/1.55in size and wide f/1.6 aperture but the 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro cameras are significantly weaker (Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)Photos from the primary camera typically look good across lighting conditions Colours are lively and saturated without looking totally overkill (as seen on past Poco phones) and detail is rich.  and the phone does tend to brighten up scenes and flatten facial detail so it isn't my favourite portrait camera phone at its price – the Honor 200 does a better job for faces though still pulls out pleasing detail from shadows it can also create a pleasingly soft-focus background when taking photos of nearby objects (Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)The 8MP ultra-wide camera misses out on autofocus and lacks the clarity of the main camera though in bright environments it's actually impressive pulling out balanced photos that pack good dynamic range given the camera's spec.  so the F6 Pro ekes more out of its mediocre 8MP ultra-wide than the F5 Pro did Even the F6 Pro's zoom impresses in bright scenes up to around 3x with no visible detail fall-off until you pinch into the picture.  Where the ultra-wide and zoom performance fall apart is in dark environments when there isn't a steady hand holding the phone and a still subject in front of it (Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)(Image credit: Basil Kronfli)The Poco F6 Pro's 16MP selfie camera isn't pin sharp but it's typically flattering in most environments While its video recording caps out at 1080p the rear camera mix can record at up to 4K resolution and videos pack similar qualities to photos shot on the phone though struggling in low-light environments Its nighttime video still beats the Google Pixel 8a and the stabilisation is also respectable For gamers on a budget, the Poco F6 Pro could be the best phone of 2024 out-performing the competition when it comes to power-to-price ratio.  Its stills camera can't best the Google Pixel 8a though it does capture better low-light video – which is impressive.  the F6 Pro marks a brave new world for Poco going beyond budget-feeling and taking on more premium midrange phones like the OnePlus 12R and Motorola Edge 50 Pro The Poco F6 Pro's weak points are its secondary cameras The most obvious alternative choice is the Google Pixel 8a though it also compromises on storage and performance The Honor 200 packs a better camera than the F6 Pro and more storage than the Pixel 8a the OnePlus 12R offers a great balance in a slightly pricier package.  you could opt for the Poco F6 for similar performance in a plastic body with inferior cameras but some cost saving the Galaxy A55 packs a familiar Samsung interface

in this price range The bundled 33W adapter got us to 51% in half an hour and took 70min from flat to 100% It's the same result at the 30-minute mark as we got out of the Redmi Note 11 (with the same 33W charger) though the Poco proved slightly quicker to full We've gotten results all over the place from this 33W unit between different Xiaomi phones (or Xiaomi-related The Poco M4 Pro has a stereo speaker setup with a typical Xiaomi arrangement where the earpiece doubles as a second channel and that top speaker fires from the top as well not just forward through the earpiece mesh you can expect sound to spill out more easily when on a call with the top speaker getting the left channel in portrait orientation and the phone switching channels to match the correct orientation in landscape The two speakers aren't equal in their loudness and tonal response - the bottom one is superior and the bottom driver isn't helping with the top one's lows The Poco M4 Pro's result in our testing put it in the 'Very Good' category for loudness the same as the 5G version and the Redmi Note 11 The Poco does sound different than either of those - not necessarily worse the 5G variant has more presence in

of the global release More related articles More related devices The Financial Express You see it’s no secret that most Poco phones are Redmi phones I am sure Poco tries hard to ensure their paths don’t cross The Poco X6 series shows both sides of the coin you have the Poco X6 Pro which is essentially the Redmi K70e from China with a smaller battery and slower charging The Redmi that it is based on is never coming to India has also launched in India at around the same time Which is an interesting segue into what is easily the biggest USP of the X6 series I am not even sure how Poco is pulling it off (either that or the Redmi Note 13 series is grossly overpriced) Even if logic dictates that I rip into these phones to bring you the unabridged truth I still can’t wrap my head around why only one of them runs HyperOS or why the less expensive model gets stronger protection there’s no such thing as a perfect smartphone take us all back in time when unbelievable specs at unbelievable prices were a common fixture in India What a time to be alive and witness the same brand jumpstart a mobile segment that was starting to look boring and sad it doesn’t get any better than this for a flat screen smartphone display The back is where you start to identify the differences more clearly Both phones have a flat chassis made out of polycarbonate a bit more eye-catching especially in this frosty white version that I am using The pro in contrast is more mature with relatively more subdued — but fingerprint prone — black and grey versions You can get it in Poco signature fake leather yellow as well if that’s your thing The X6 Pro has a very subtle curve at the back one you’re likely to not notice in the beginning but once you start using the phone more regularly It just feels so much better to hold and navigate even if Poco has done well to keep their sizes in check Rounding off the package is basic IP54 dust and splash resistant something that’s always nice to have around The triple camera assembly has a more commanding presence in the Poco X6 with individually stacked lenses that seem hungry for attention Even if the setup is exactly the same as the pro The 64-megapixel primary sensor sits behind an optically stabilised lens and takes — surprisingly — good photos with warm colour tones Noise is mostly under control and not unless you’re going pixel-peeping you’ll find that the output is not just adequate The other cameras — 8-megapixel ultra-wide and 2-megapixel macro — are spec-fillers The Poco X6 and Poco X6 Pro can both shoot at up to 4K@30fps with the main camera (the pro has an extra 4K@24fps option) Results are a mixed bag but mostly they are serviceable The front camera is a 16-megapixel and takes the occasional good selfie under good lighting The Poco X6 Pro with its MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chip It has faster LPDDR5x RAM and UFS4.0 storage As well as a more elaborate 5000mm² VC cooling system made of stainless steel While the Poco X6 with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and UFS2.2 (UFS3.1 would have been nicer though) storage is an all-rounder with can-do-will-do attitude Simply running AnTuTu on these phones tells you what you are up against putting it up on a pedestal of proper flagships AT PRICES LOWER THAN EVEN A FLAGSHIP KILLER We’ll have to think of a different name for this class of smartphones the Poco X6 Pro sets a new benchmark for smartphones in the category making every other phone duck and cover and wish it was half as powerful The Poco X6 is one of those phones if you go by its AnTuTu score but at its lower pricing the few extra thousand you spend on the pro today will go a long way in ensuring you own something that’s both powerful and longer-lasting spec-wise as well as support-wise both these phones will get up to 3+4 years of software updates and the X6 Pro already has a leg-up over the X6 which runs the older MIUI 14 based on Android 13 HyperOS does not bring any drastic cosmetic changes (down to the harrowing bloatware situation) if you’re wondering But there are big changes on the inside most notably in how the operating system consumes resources and in phones like these that don’t support expandable storage (which is why it’s good that they start with 256GB) The X6 has a slightly bigger 5,100mAh battery while the X6 Pro has a 5,000mAh 67W charging is standard across both the models taking about 45-minutes to go from flat out to full 100 percent The Poco X6 Pro comes in a choice of 8GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB for Rs 26,999 and Rs 28,999

refresh modes - Custom (choose between 120Hz or 60Hz) and Default (automatic switching behavior) The screen supports four fixed refresh rates per its specifications - 30Hz Both Custom 120Hz and Default (auto) do the same - the system uses 120Hz for the phone's UI and most apps (games included) at least while the user is interacting with the display or there is motion on screen once it sees a static image for a couple of seconds it drops the refresh rate down to 60Hz to save power The only occasion we saw the screen use 30Hz was for the Always-on Display and the Notification Light but we

They also come with hybrid active noise cancellation and comfortable cushioning for long listening sessions. The detachable LCD touch screen controller allows for convenient control and advanced multi-device pairing. The Poco M6 has a fairly straightforward design with just a hint of flair on the back. On the front is a large 6.74-inch display with sizable bezels and a teardrop cutout for the camera. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. The frame along the sides is made out of plastic with a matte finish. On the right is the power button, which doubles as the fingerprint scanner, along with the volume buttons. On the left is a tray that can hold two SIMs as well as a microSD card. On the top is a headphone jack, and on the bottom is a loudspeaker, microphone, and USB-C connector. The back of the phone features a glossy plastic panel. The panel itself is plain but underneath it there is an interesting ridged pattern with a sparkling finish. Moreover, the pattern reflects light in cool arching patterns that almost look like velvet. Poco calls this the Sky Dance Design. The phone is available in two colors, Orion Blue and the Galactic Black pictured here. The Poco M6 is a relatively large phone but not too thick or heavy. This makes it reasonably easy to handle for those with large hands but some may find it a bit too large, especially with a case on. The build quality feels good in hand with no undue flex or creaks. The phone also has splash and dust protection without any explicit rating. The Poco M6 has a 6.74-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 1600 x 720. The display has a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz and a touch sampling rate of 180Hz. Poco claims a peak brightness of 600 nits. The phone offers a basic level of color settings. The default is Vivid, which isn't as saturated as you'd expect. It had roughly the same level of saturation as the Standard preset, which targets the sRGB color gamut. The only difference is that Vivid has a cool white point, which would allow it to hit a higher peak brightness level. There is also a Saturated preset, which runs the display in its unclamped color mode, making all colors extremely saturated while having the same cool white point as the Vivid profile. When set to the Standard profile, color accuracy is pretty good on the Poco M6. The default white balance isn't accurate, as our unit had a minor magenta bias. However, a color wheel is provided to adjust the color temperature to your liking, and this can be used to set a closer-to-neutral white point. The display in the Standard mode isn't especially bright but remains visible outdoors. The Auto brightness can make the display easier to see by adjusting the colors under bright light. The phone does not support HDR. The inclusion of 90Hz on this phone is perfunctory. There are very few places in the UI where the display is refreshing at 90Hz, and this mostly includes the homescreen and select system apps. In almost every other app, the phone falls back to 60Hz. Being an LCD panel, there are some limitations compared to more expensive devices with OLED. The contrast is lackluster and the blacks appear dark gray. The panel response times are also subpar and you see some amount of trailing while scrolling, especially when using night mode. The display also dims considerably when viewed off-angle. Overall, the display on the Poco M6 is serviceable. Despite the relatively low resolution and LCD panel, the experience of viewing the display was quite pleasant due to the good color accuracy and ample size. Watching videos was especially nice as Poco hasn't included any of the unsightly image processing and sharpening found on several other MIUI devices. However, the 90Hz claim feels like false advertising as you rarely ever get to experience it. The Poco M6 has a 5000mAh battery, which Poco calls the 'weekend battery', implying it can last you the entire weekend. The phone supports 18W charging but the charger in the box is only 10W. We did not do a full battery test for this hands-on but the phone did exhibit fairly long battery life in our testing and the two-day claim seems defensible, especially if you are a light user. The Poco M6 has a single loudspeaker at the bottom. Audio quality is mediocre but the more pressing issue is that it simply isn't loud enough. On YouTube, for example, some videos can end up sounding fairly quiet even at maximum volume in a quiet room. Thankfully, the phone supports both wireless as well as wired headphone output. The wired jack sounds just fine and was able to power headphones like the Sennheiser HD 560s quite well. Bluetooth audio also works fine and the phone has support for all modern codecs, including LDAC and aptX HD. The Poco F6 comes with a couple of changes to the camera system compared to the previous generation. Looking at the specs alone, both the new main camera and the different selfie unit appear as sidesteps rather than obvious improvements. The removal of the low-res macro shooter can be counted as a step in the right direction though. The primary camera on the back now employs a 50MP Sony sensor in place of the 64MP OmniVision one of the predecessor. The overall sensor size is more or less the same , though - 1/1.95" vs. 1/2.0", so it will be the Lytia stacked design that will be the source of improvements, not just sheer dimensions. You'll also note that the F6's 50MP main camera is different from the F6 Pro's 50MP main camera (OmniVision 1/1.55" imager there). The two F6s do share a camera, and that's the 8MP ultrawide, which has been inherited from the F5. Flip over to the display side, and there are further differences. The F6 opts for a 20MP sensor instead of the 16MP units on the F6 Pro and F5. More importantly, it's paired with a wider-than-usual 21mm-equivalent lens - so you'll be getting more friends (or, realistically, wider surroundings) into your selfies. The Poco F6's main camera does relatively well in daylight. Detail is very good if not quite as organic as on the F6 Pro, while noise is low, though there's still some fine grain here or there. The auto white balance can be trusted, and the color rendition is quite likable - it's a notch below the Pro's slightly excessive pop. Dynamic range is great too. The way the Poco F6 renders skin tones and faces , in general, isn't our favorite - there's some skin smoothing and whitening that still remains despite us having disabled all the beautification features. It's not bad or anything, just not as good as it could be. We're struggling to find a meaningful improvement in resolved detail in the 50MP shots, but don't hesitate to examine them yourself. The 12.5MP 2x zoom photos have essentially the same amount of detail as the 50MP ones when viewed at 1:1 - so not great, strictly speaking, but okay for the purpose. They do offer better noise reduction and you'll get metering for just the right portion of the frame. The ultrawide camera does fairly well without actually shining, though we wouldn't have expected it from its unremarkable hardware. That said, what should be the same camera hardware on the F6 Pro (as best as we can tell) gave us slightly nicer images, so maybe the two different Snapdragons have their own specifics. Detail is alright, given the resolution, and whatever noise there is doesn't get in the way. Colors can be a little muted, and there's a general aura of lifelessness, which we didn't experience on the Pro. To be fair, we'd have probably been just fine with the F6's shots, but it's just that the F6 Pro's are a little better. Selfies on the Poco F6 are nice in some ways, and not quite so in others. Contrast is a little low, both globally and on a micro level. A saturation nudge also wouldn't hurt them, though skin tones are well rendered as they are. Detail is decent, but since it's a Quad Bayer type sensor it's not really a true 20MP image. The best bit, in our book, and the one that sets the F6 apart from most phones, is the  wide coverage of the front-facing camera. The Poco F6's main camera doesn't fear darkness and continues to deliver solid images at night. You don't need to worry much about going into Night mode as the phone does well enough in full auto. Tonal development is very good, and you'll typically get reasonably bright shadows and well-contained highlights. Detail and noise performance are good, and we have no major complaints about color either. At 2x zoom, you can expect usable images, though looking at them at 1:1 will reveal their upscaled nature. The ultrawide camera's low-light photos are pretty meh. Dynamic range is alright, but colors are a little off. The images are also quite soft - more so than on the F6 Pro. The Poco F6 records video at up to 4K60 with its primary camera and 1080p/30fps with its ultrawide. It's missing the (rather pointless) 8K resolution option of the F6 Pro, and it also doesn't allow for 4K24 (just 30fps and 60fps). Sure enough, there's always-on stabilization and the option to choose between the h.264 (default) and h.265 codecs. 4K clips from the main camera are solid. Detail is very good at 30fps, on par with the F6 Pro's results, and there's a similar minor drop in quality at 60fps. The F6 is a bit more restrained in its color saturation than the Pro model, and we'd probably pick this one as the better rendition - it's more faithful without looking dull. The darker shadows do make for a slightly gloomier look, though. The ultrawide's 1080p videos are so-so - they're not particularly detailed, even for 1080p. Stabilization on the Poco F6 is alright. Walking shake does cause the occasional focus hunting on the main camera, but if you stay put, you'll avoid that issue, and the pans are smooth. The ultrawide is also good at stabilizing, though its clips ended up softer in these conditions than what we got on the F6 Pro. In the dark, the Poco F6's main camera does a respectable job - perhaps ever so slightly better than the Pro, even. It captures good detail, has reasonably wide dynamic range and maintains color saturation well. The ultrawide is best avoided at night. You can check out the playlist below, which includes multiple video samples. The Poco F5 uses the same camera hardware as its predecessor. The main camera uses a 64MP OmniVision OV64B40 sensor, 1/2.0" in size and with 0.7µm pixels. The sensor is paired with a f/1.8 aperture and a lens with optical stabilization. In our opinion, this sensor is a bit outdated, particularly for the given price range. We've seen bigger sensors in the same price category. The ultrawide camera is still 8MP and uses Sony's IMX355 sensor, which is pretty small in size - 1/4.0", 1.12µm and is paired with f/2.2 aperture. For the macro shots, the phone is equipped with the usual 2MP f/2.4 shooter. The selfie camera has changed this time around. The new setup uses Samsung's S5K3P9SP04 16MP camera with f/2.5 aperture. Last year's F4 had a 20MP unit. The camera app is a rather straightforward implementation, though it does have its quirks. First, basic operation for changing modes works with side swipes (on the black bezel!), and you can also tap on the modes you can see to switch to those directly. Up and down swipes don't work for switching between the front and rear cameras; only the toggle next to the shutter release does that. You can add, remove, and rearrange modes in the main rolodex by going to the More tab and navigating to the edit button, and you can access that from the settings menu as well. The unused modes will still be in that More tab, but you can switch to a (less intuitive) pull-out pane that's summoned from a line next to the shutter release. The hamburger menu at the far end is where you'll find additional options, including the Macro mode, which apparently still doesn't deserve a place in the main carousel with modes. Next to that hamburger menu, you have a flash mode switch, an HDR switch, an AI toggle, and a shortcut to Google Lens. At the near end, you have the camera zoom switch that operates in one of two fashions. The first one is simply tapping on one of the three dots that represent the ultra-wide, primary, and 2x digital options. Or you can tap on the active magnification and slide sideways to reveal even more zoom levels - 2x and 10x, plus a slider for intermediate magnifications. Also around is a magic wand with beauty effects and filters. As expected, there's a host of extra modes, including Long Exposure with its own set of different presets - moving crowd, neon trails, oil painting, light painting, starry sky, and star trails. Night mode is available on the main and ultrawide cameras. There is also Auto Night mode enabled by default in settings. To be honest, we were skeptical about the Poco F5's main camera performance in the sense that there won't be any improvements from last year's F4, which makes good stills to begin with. However, the F5 shows a big improvement in overall quality. Maybe the new ISP inside the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 deserves some credit. Either way, the daylight samples below are really impressive. All of the photos we took offer a great level of fine detail, excellent sharpness and wide dynamic range. Colors are vibrant but not too over the top, except maybe for the green grass and foliage. Those appear a bit too saturated. Noise is well-controlled even in indoor settings, and detail remains ever so impressive. The Poco F5 definitely punches above its weight in the camera deparment. The full-resolution 64MP samples also look quite good. For a bit more noise, some softness and no HDR, you get even more detailed images. So it's up to you to decide whether the trade-off is worth it. The 2x zoom crop looks quite good. It's definitely above the average for the price bracket showing a good level of detail, minimum loss of sharpness and retains the overall rendition from the standard 1x zoom mode. And extra points to Xiaomi for including an OIS. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference for short zooms like 2x, but it does make the shooting experience a tad more enjoyable. And besides, it's likely to get a shaky image when you have one chance to capture the moment. The rather unimpressive 8MP ultrawide camera managed to deliver decent stills in good lighting conditions. The overall quality is definitely above average, considering the rest of the midrangers with the same 8MP shooter. Detail and sharpness, although unimpressive, are decent enough. Dynamic range is also okay, but we mostly liked the color rendition and contrast. These are not your usual washed-out 8MP ultrawide samples. The Poco F5 doesn't disappoint even after dusk. The main camera delivers impressive sharpness with fine detail in abundance. Dynamic range is more than adequate, and only high-contrast scenes seem to produce clipped highlights, whereas shadows retain quite a bit of detail. Light sources look good for the most part, and noise can be spotted only in the darker corners of the scene and in the sky. Contrast, color and color temperature seem to be on point too. To our surprise, the Night mode produces images of lesser quality. Xiaomi went overboard with the sharpening and noise suppression. Some details and straight lines become thick, while the complex surfaces are flattened out by the noise suppression algorithm, wiping away most of the detail. On a more positive note, the Night mode improves the dynamic range by fixing the clipped highlights, fixes the light sources, brightens up the image and goes for a bit juicier colors. The same goes for the 2x zoom mode, but everything is exaggarated. Having said that, the standard 2x zoom samples are usable for social media purposes. But if the scene gets too dark, the stills get too noisy and soft. The ultrawide camera produces subpar images at night. The photos are dark, they lack detail, and the dynamic range is inadequate. With night mode, the highlights get restored, however, that's of little use when the photos look blurry and almost defocused. Here's how the primary camera on the Poco F5 stacks against the rest of the competition in the controlled environment of our Photo Compare Tool. The macro camera delivers subpar images, as it's usually the case with this outdated 2MP shooter. Photos look lifeless, lack contrast and there's not much detail coming out of the tiny 2MP sensor. Under the right lighting conditions, the portrait mode produces sharp images with plenty of fine detail and colors that are true to life. However, the subject's skin comes off a little pale most of the time and even the slightest drop in ambient light results in a noticeable drop in detail. Still, overall performance in more challenging conditions is more than adequate. The edge detection algorithm is a hit-and-miss, especially with a more complex background or when you have an object on the foreground. Notice the Lego scooter in the fourth scene. The selfie quality is somewhat uninspiring. There's plenty of detail in the shots, and sharpness isn't too bad even in more challenging lighting, but colors seem a bit too conservative, and all of the samples look grainy. The device's video recording capabilities cap at 2160p@30fps with its main camera, while the ultrawide can only do 1080p videos since its resolution is just 8MP. The phone also offers a so-called Steady video mode, which mimics an action camera-like stabilization. In this mode, the video resolution is capped at 1080p as well, probably due to the real-time processing it requires. The video footage from the main camera at 4K resolution is quite crisp, with nice and vibrant colors, good dynamic range and adequate contrast. The ultrawide video, on the other hand, is a whole different story. It has colors and contrast but lacks sharpness, detail and dynamic range. There's also a little bit of noise if you look close enough. The difference between the standard 4K stabilized video and the Full HD Steady video isn't profound since the 2160p video's stabilization is pretty good on its own. And there's no extreme jello effect, either. Switching to the Steady video mode, naturally trims the field of view and makes stabilization a tad smoother, but it's hard to justify the loss in resolution. Maybe the 4K stabilization is good enough for the majority of cases. Once you are done with the real-life scenarios, take a look at our video compare tool to see how the Poco F5 stacks against the other phones we've reviewed. Redmi is set to ring into the New Year 2025 with a big and notable product launch. The Xiaomi spin-off has announced that its next smartphone This smartphone is of special interest as it could become the blueprint for the global and India bound Poco X7 Pro It is also significant because it is the first smartphone in the world to come rocking the new MediaTek Dimensity 8400 processor Redmi has revealed the full design of the Turbo 4 to build hype around the impending launch The Turbo 4 has a racecar inspired sporty design hinting strongly that it is a performance-focused device The phone in question has a flat chassis and one of the variants comes in shade of white with a red accent line stretching from top to the bottom it seems the phone has a plastic frame and an IR emitter at the top The primary uses a 50-megapixel sensor behind an optically stabilised lens The biggest USP of the Redmi Turbo 4 is the Dimensity 8400, a new smartphone chip seemingly designed to deliver flagship Dimensity 9400-like generative AI performance and efficiency at more affordable prices.

The new variant comes in two dual-tone colour options and features a new branding on the fuel tank. The bike also gets snazzy graphics, colour-coded headlight cowl and mudguard, and a black pillion grab rail. It is powered by a 110cc engine and offers a fuel tank capacity of 10 litres. The Poco X6 features a familiar triple camera on its back - a high-res main camera, a basic ultrawide, and a tiny macro shooter. This year, both X6 models are updated with OIS for the primaries, which should help in certain occasions, such as low-light photography. The primary camera on the Poco X6 uses a 64MP OmniVision OV64B 1/2" sensor with 0.7µm pixels and a Quad-Bayer filter. This sensor is paired with a 25mm lens that is stabilized (OIS) and has an f/1.8 aperture. The ultrawide camera uses an 8MP Somy IMX355 sensor with an ultrawide-angle 16mm f/2.2 lens. The focus is fixed at infinity. The macro camera uses a 2MP OmniVision OV02B1 sensor behind a 25mm f/2.4 lens and a fixed focus at 4cm away. Finally, the front camera utilizes a 16MP OV16A1Q 1/3.06" sensor with 1.0µm pixels, Quad-Bayer filter and a 24mm f/2.0 lens. The focus is fixed, too. The camera app on the Poco X6 is more or less the same as on other MIUI phones. The basic operation for changing modes works with side swipes as expected, and you can also tap on the modes that you can see to switch to those directly. You can add, remove, and rearrange modes in the main rolodex by going to the More tab and navigating to the edit button, and you can access that from the settings menu as well. At the far end of the viewfinder, you have a flash mode switch, an HDR switch, and the Google Lens toggle. There's also the hamburger menu which contains additional options like aspect ratio, AI option, self-timer and grid lines, the Macro switch is here, plus the shortcut to the settings. On the near end, you have the camera zoom switch that operates in one of two fashions. The first one is simply tapping on one of the four dots that represent the ultra-wide (0.6x), primary (1x), primary (2x and 4X digital zoom) options. Or you can tap on the active magnification and reveal even more zoom modes. There's a nicely capable Pro mode, where you can tweak the shooting parameters yourself. You get to pick one of 4 white balance presets or dial in the light temperature with a slider; there's a manual focusing slider (with peaking as an option), and shutter speed and ISO control with ranges depending on which camera you're using - primary or ultrawide. Night Mode is available on main and ultrawide cameras. The main camera saves 16MP photos by default, and those are solid. They offer a good amount of resolved detail, realistic colors, adequate dynamic range, and low noise. The 2x zoom delivers superb lossless-like magnification with detailed photos that often reveal more than what you can see on the 1x default ones. Their contrast is great, and so is the dynamic range; the noise is low, while the colors are lively but somewhat warmer than they should have been. The 4x zoom is a digital one over the 2x photos, and you can easily tell it's just a simple crop and upscale by the poor detail. The 64MP photos are not good - they are average in detail and quite noisy. The 16MP portraits are okay - the separation is good enough and the blur is likable. There is some noise and the white balance is a mixed bag but considering that the Poco X6 is not a high-end phone, we'd say those portraits are fine for this class and will do great for the social networks. The ultrawide camera saves pleasing 8MP photos - they offer acceptable detail, super wide field of view, good colors, and tolerable noise levels. The dynamic range is good - not wide, but not that narrow either. The photos are sometimes over-exposed, and that is the only viable criticism we have here. The 2MP macro shots are okay, with enough detail and likable colors. Sometimes they come quite noisy, sometimes they don't. Xiaomi and its Quad-Bayer selfie cameras is like a never-ending story. And the Poco X6 is just another chapter. The 16MP camera here saves upscaled 16MP images, which is alright when it comes to the subject's exposure and rendition, good colors, and wide dynamic range. But the detail is average at best, and everything is soft. The Poco X6 supports Auto Night Mode - it is enabled by default in the Advanced camera settings. This means that the camera app will decide when and where to use Night Mode and its exposure time. It uses it in most cases on both the primary and ultrawide camera even if the moon icon is not often shown on the latter. The night photos from the main camera are average - the detail is lower than we expected, there is visible noise, and the colors are punchy, but you can spot the reddish tint by yourself right away. The photos are well-exposed with good dynamic range, though, and that is what balances out their imperfections. Average, indeed. The 2x toggle delivers digital zoom at night; there are no traces of the high-quality magnifications we exhibited during the day. The 8MP ultrawide night photos are okay - they are colorful, with acceptable detail and wide dynamic range for the purposes of nighttime photography. They are overrun by noise but still usable. And here's how the main camera stacks up against the competition in our extensive Photo compare database. The Poco X6 supports 4K@30fps video capturing on its primary camera. The ultrawide camera maxes out at 1080p@30fps, while the 2MP macro supports 720p@30fps. Finally, 1080p at 60fps is available on the main and selfie cameras. There is an always-on electronic stabilization working across the main and ultrawide camera, but not on the selfie and macro. Audio is always captured stereo with a 96Kbps bitrate. The 4K daylight videos from the main camera are excellent - they are detailed, with low noise, accurate colors, good dynamic range, and high contrast. The 2x zoomed video is upscaled from the regular footage. The 4K low-light video from the main camera is disappointing - low detail, high noise level, low dynamic range, and the reddish tint is present. EIS works great on the main camera across all resolutions and frame rate. The 1080p daylight video from the ultrawide camera is alright - it offers acceptable detail levels, no noise, good colors, and adequate dynamic range. The low-light 1080p video from the ultrawide camera turned out to be quite usable - it has enough detail, the noise doesn't get in the way, and the colors are realistic. The selfie camera captured good 1080p clips with okayish detail, low noise, and accurate colors. The dynamic range is above average. There is no EIS for this camera, unfortunately. Here's how the Poco X6 compares to other devices in our vast video compare database. 2400 x 1080 resolution AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz The display has a claimed peak brightness of 1000 nits you can do basic color tuning in the settings which claims to adjust colors based on the content displayed but has a cool blue white point The Saturated profile is always saturated but has a warmer color tone The Standard profile seems to target sRGB and has a standard D65 white point with natural colors You can also adjust the color temperature for all three profiles manually using a color wheel The panel also has ample resolution and good viewing angles Peak brightness was usually sufficient but the way the automatic brightness works is a bit odd the display can go beyond manual brightness levels under bright light when using auto brightness doesn't even reach the max manually adjustable brightness level even under the brightest sunlight You can get higher brightness if you manually max out the brightness instead This was tested multiple times and at no point did the auto brightness ever max out the brightness under bright light the X6 Neo has the company's distasteful video processing enabled full-time the phone will automatically oversharpen it while also boosting saturation and contrast and there's nothing you can do to turn it off we were able to disable this effect by going into the phone's Developer options and toggling the 'Disable HW overlays' option The only issue is that this option switches back when the phone restarts and needs to be enabled again The phone does actually run at 120Hz in most of the apps we tried but the way it's implemented leaves a lot to be desired Launching a game that supports high refresh rates the phone is also designed to drop the refresh rate to 60Hz when you aren't interacting with the screen which is fine when you are on the homescreen but not in the middle of a game So the moment you stop interacting with the phone the display and the game are forced down to 60Hz from 120Hz The games we tried didn't quite handle this well and would stutter quite a bit when running at 60Hz there is no developer mode hack that we could find to disable this behavior so unless you are playing a game that requires you to constantly tap the screen you will run into this issue unless you manually lock the screen to 60Hz The Poco X6 Neo supports 33W fast charging and a matching charger is provided in the box the phone managed to charge reasonably quickly with just over half the battery charged in the first 30 minutes and a full charge taking about an hour Certainly not the fastest charging we have seen but should be perfectly adequate for most scenarios you can also choose to disable fast charging through the battery settings which should help prolong the lifetime of the battery The Poco X6 Neo has a single loudspeaker at the bottom which is odd when you consider it also has Dolby Atmos audio processing enabled there is no spatial processing to do when you are only working with a single speaker but the Atmos mode adds a little more warmth and body to the sound where you can experience the full extent of the Dolby Atmos audio processing as well as enjoy content encoded in Atmos such as on Apple Music or videos with Atmos audio track One thing to note here is that even though the phone lists aptX Adaptive and LHDC in the codec list within the developer options We have noticed this on other cheaper Xiaomi/Poco phones as well and it's not clear why the company includes the full list of Bluetooth codecs even when many are not actually present which are all the codecs natively included in Android A slightly more frustrating issue with Bluetooth audio on this phone is the lack of Bluetooth absolute volume This feature has existed for over a decade at this point and syncs the volume levels of the connected Bluetooth audio device and the phone so they can be controlled as one the phone and accessory volume are separate so you need to adjust them both to get proper volume levels This feature was present on the cheaper Poco M6 we checked out recently not to mention is a staple of almost every phone these days There can't be a flagship today without a dual-camera on its back the Pocophone F1 has a dual-camera - the primary sensor is the same as on the Mi 8 while the secondary is just a 5MP eye for depth information Back to the main camera - it uses Sony's IMX363 sensor - that means it's a 12MP shooter with large 1.4µm pixels and dual pixel phase detection autofocus The lens has a reasonably bright f/1.9 aperture Optical stabilization is not available on the Pocophone though a dual-LED flash completes the camera specs The camera has the modes arranged side by side for you to change by swiping left and right swiping up/down doesn't switch between front and rear camera - there's a button for that a set of filters and a hamburger shortcut to the settings and in here you can adjust white balance (presets and light temperature) pick a shutter speed (1/1000s to 32s) and ISO (100-1600) You can also set your own focus (in 1-100 'units' between close-up and infinity) and there's focus peaking to help you with that The image quality is excellent in broad daylight - photos are sharp and detailed The dynamic range is nothing short of stunning The Auto HDR won't even trigger in most scenes - it simply doesn't need to as much as on other phones the Pocophone F1 offers an AI option for the camera the F1's AI doesn't oversaturate the colors or increase the contrast unnesesarily we weren't able to find much difference between the AI and non-AI samples For those rare occasions where either Auto HDR reacts or you turned it on you'll get a picture with restored highlights and improved resolved detail in the shadows The low-light shots turned out a bit disappointing - depending on whether you left the Auto HDR on you'll get either soft or sharp but noisy images there is some heavy noise-reduction going on just don't expect much detail when you zoom in The regular night photos shot without HDR are noisiy but they are sharper and with more fine detail We strongly advise to disable the Auto HDR option for such low-light scenes Sometimes we also got blurry images due to the lack of optical stabilization The f/1.9 aperture is bright at night and makes up for the lack of OIS though exactly this omission is what stopped the Poco from delivering as excellent night shots as the Mi 8 was capable of taking You should check how the Pocophone F1 does against the Mi 8 and OnePlus 6 in our Photo Compare Tool but you are free to pick any other phone to compare it against The Pocophone F1 uses the combination of the two cameras to shoot the trendy Portrait shots This works best when you're shooting a well-lit person or an object which stands out against the backdrop The photos turned out pleasant with mostly accurate shapes and blur effects There are occasions where wrong details get blurred - like hair or parts of the face but that's probably because of the busy scenes As we mentioned above - it's better to have a background which is not so busy and shoot in a well-lit environment - otherwise you'll get blurry and noisy shots The Pocophone F1 has a 20MP selfie camera with an f/2.0 aperture and fixed focus - the same shooter used on the Mi 8 The promo materials once again claim 1.8µm pixel size That's the effective size with the 4-in-1 binning in action we didn't find it to be of any practical benefit it takes stunningly detailed photos with nice skin colors It can also take blurred background selfies and does it quite proficiently too Most of them this year also offer 4K at 60fps The video bitrate is just shy of 42Mbps in 4K and 20Mbps in 1080p while audio is recorded in stereo with a 192Kbps bit rate though you do have the option to switch to the more efficient h.265 The dynamic range is as impressive as on the still images There is electronic stabilization for the Pocophone videos and looking at the menus it seems it should be capable of handling the 4K footage as well - the option doesn't get grayed out when you select 4K resolution the shaky footage and the same field of view with the toggle in the off and on positions points to no EIS in 4K are super smooth and we didn't observe issues like wobbling or inability to catch up when panning We're providing you with unedited short samples to download and examine.
