Poco X6 Pro 5G | Unboxing & One Week Review

Unboxing Xiaomi's Poco X6 Pro 5G, with a one-week review of the camera performance, gaming, battery life & Hyper OS. I've used the Poco X6 Pro as my full-time phone for those seven days and it's a big upgrade in some ways, incremental in others. But it's certainly one of the best budget mid-range smartphones in 2024 and a hot rival vs the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus.

That 64MP main camera is a respectable effort, if not much of an upgrade over the X5 series. The Poco X6 Pro can capture crisp photos if the lighting isn't too dodgy, as well as 4K video on demand.

If you're a gamer, multi-tasker or heavy user, the Poco X6 Pro will be a smart choice on a budget. That Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset can make short work of Genshin Impact and other Android titles, while the battery life is also superb.

Film fans will adore that 1.5k AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision and HDR10 support. The Poco X6 Pro 5G also boasts boomy stereo speakers and Xiaomi's latest Hyper OS launcher, which smells a bit like MiUI. So you've got the same Game Turbo features etc.

Awesome unboxing keep it up as always Chris Sir

[AdrianJHaug]

I have been enjoying my Poco X3 for years...I think it's time to upgrade!

[TheSkilfingar]

I like your unboxing and review.
One thing I couldn't see/understand that quickly at 6:13: it's dual-SIM right? How do SIMs fit in?
Looks like one SIM is put in "on top" and another one "on the bottom" of the SIM slider?

F4 user here. Was hoping that X changes the cam sensor to a Sony IMX, but now, the X6 Pro has the same 64-megapixel Omnivision sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and optical stabilisation (OIS) as the Poco F4 and the 2 other cameras are also the same. Xiaomi must have a crapload of those useless 2-Mp and ancient 8-Mp WA cam sensors in it's warehouses. The Hyper-OS and the performance however looks tempting, not to mention the updates.

funny reading so many comments talking about the X3 (Pro) and the good experiences with it. Own an X3 Pro myself, was waiting for the proper successor to it (since the subsequent phones seemed to be downgrades from the X3 Pro), even considering dipping my toes in Xiaomi's or the Redmi's, but it was either too expensive or lacked the features that I wanted from a new phone. The X6 Pro, despite being pricier than the X3 Pro on release, seems to be the proper upgrade from it (bought one yesterday).

The X3 Pro is such a good bang for the buck and I don't think Xiaomi will be releasing anything as good as that.
I was also extremely lucky to never get hit with the motherboard issues a lot of people reported the X3 Pro would have.

Tempted to buy it but I have already got 2 recent phones. I will see what price I can find it for.

The first wallpaper looked so good! Amazing taste.

[Naalid]

Did they work on motherboard issue of poco phones?

[DVR]

I had a POCO X3 Pro once and it died before the year of usage, wifi stopped working and that meant that to fix it would require changing the entire motherboard which cost the same as the phone. Afterwards X4, X5 models were rather underwhelming in their specs compared to what the X3 Pro offered at a cheaper price, but now this X6 finally looks like a worthy successor specs wise for the price range. Still, unsure if I would ever buy another POCO.

Been enjoying my Poco X3 Pro for over a year, but it's time to join the 5G generation & the Poco X6 Pro looks like the obvious upgrade.

[sakei-kun]

Love the cute anime wallpapers. I will be decorating my X6 just the same in about 4 days

[joepeglegmorgan]

Hyper is same as MIUI just diferwnt name?

[HandelBarf]

I love your humor! I had eczema that peeled my crusty skin back between my fingers. During class at high school I picked a bit off anf flicked it and it landed in Cheryl Bell's mouth.

[KEEMSTEAMYT]

Fun fact: that dabi wallpaper I've been using it on my Poco f1 for a few months now I saw it in the theme store

[benjaminheinzel]

So is there a better xaiomi option? Or is this a good phone to go for? Wondering mostly because of the external.

I used to have a Poco X3, which I still own. However, my current device is the Realme 9 Pro Plus, recognized for its impressive camera in the 20k price bracket. Despite its excellent camera, I find it inconvenient due to the smaller screen size and the lack of a burst shot camera mode. I'm considering getting the Poco X6 Pro as my next phone soon.

[unrealhaze]

I've had the Poco X3 for 3 and half years now and its been brilliant, battery life still just as good. I've now got my on this one
