POCO F6 100 Days Later - Buy it or Skip it?

It has been four months since POCO F6 launched in the Philippines, and dare I say, it's still the best value phone right now, so should you buy it or skip it? Well, here's a different answer. It's a yes and no. I'm going to discuss the reasons why you should buy this phone as well as the reasons why you shouldn't buy this phone. In my last review, I stated the reasons why you shouldn't buy this phone, and I totally understand the sentiment most of you left in the comments because there's really no other company that can offer the level of performance and the level of features the F6 provides to consumers at a very competitive price point.

5:50 250% slower is -150%, if you were to use percentages correctly, you'd say ~70% slower, if you want to say 250%, you'd say that one is faster than the other by 250%, can't use over 100% values for something being slower.

Watching on Poco f6 upgraded from my old redmi 9 I've been using it for like 2 months now it's great smooth with excellent speed 😊

I am getting this phone, after nine months, its cheap for a snapdragon 8-3. Plus I usually keep my phone plug in all the time and I need performance. Don't care for camera.

Poco F2 pro and X3 NFC had the best cameras in the Poco line up, why is it so difficult to provide good camera for Poco!!! Who runs the company now!!

[brypaceno]

this is my phone. using this 2months now. very good phone. gaming and also camera. Very durable. i accidentally drop it in a high place maybe 20ft no problem after that. 😊

Honestly I am not happy with battery and camera but the processor is amazing

[J_Epstein_]

my biggest issue is the unreliable ui and the fear of an update wreaking your mother oard, without any warranty repair

[raoufref]

You confirmed what I hate the most about poco phones, the battery life is the tweak they should make to improve their phones instead of the camera.
I have had poco f3 for 3 years now and before it i've had pocophone f1 but now imma selling it and i'm going to buy a OnePlus Nord 4 as i'm not using the phone for big tasks anymore

[מנחםעב]

i have this phone 3-4 months, the battery life is very low' after few hours of use' telegram or whatsup or anything with open screen, the battery will drain fast, but the fast charging with 90W charger makes up for it

I bought this just now for 350 euro at 12GB/512GB.
Hope i won't regret it.
Despite the powerful SoC to be honest i bought it more for work which is why i didn't care much for the lack of headphone jack.
I use a phone at work all day and i have it on my shirt front pocket so i need something a little light and with decent dust and waterproof for little accidents.
So i appreciate the non glass back that makes it less fragile and lighter and the better IP64 rating vs the F6 Pro.
I only need the camera to be decent and get the job done, not to be anything amazing.
As for the good SOC i hope it will reduce time of camera switching on and changing between apps etc because i sometimes feel like i have to wait while using my current phone and that frustrates me at times.

I am buying the poco F6 to replace my Redmi 14c.

[serenecloud]

i like your 100 days later trend. Truly shows how the phone will be after long term use.

[ConcernedMarino]

Still watching from my legendary poco f3 👑

[Haribol-Haribol-]

Man where were you. for this time. Thanks for this detailed & real review.

I live in Chicago USA by the Lake on the Gold Coast. I bought the Poco X6 Pro 12gig 512gig, from Amazon 1 day Delivery. 2-29-24. $344. To replace my Poco X3 GT had it for over 2 1/2 years. I also bought the Poco F6 11-9-24. Online 1 week delivery. $297. Flagship Killer for the Money 💰. No problems with 5g or anything else. Almost nobody here in the USA knows about Poco phones.

[mjzkul]

Do a 6 month and 12 month trend as well

[luisclavillas]

Camera is not the problem, just practice taking a good picture 😐

i too have the same phone. There is a lot of jitter when scrolling even in 120 hz and doesn't feel smooth at all. I compared this with one plus 12 R, the scrolling smooth and it flows. It lacks a headphone jack and has an NFC which is totally useless. Camera struggles at low light shots and there is no phone safety settings if your phone gets stolen, by this what i mean is there is a setting other phones, which will require you to input the password to power off the phone. The on screen finger print is slow. getting a Tempered glass and cover which actually work in pair is difficult for this phone. It has very thin bezels, so your tempered glass is almost to the edge now, when you apply a back cover it simply opens up on the sides. Moreover unlocking Xiaomi phones is not easy, you must register and wait till its approved with the unlock code. Hyper Os is not good, its a low level version of MiUi. Battery optimization needs a lot of work. And camera could have been better.

There are alternate fixes for most of the issues and updates may fix some of them too. One good reason to buy this to run emulator games, snapdragon works better with emulators but now mediatek is catching up too. Otherwise it is just a hype and not many people gonna buy this.

I miss the headphone jack and memory card slot and a physical fingerprint. If you own this phone make sure to get a back cover that protects the back camera and add a glass cover for that too. It is easy to get the camera to get scratched due to the big bump.
