Poco F6 vs Poco F6 Pro | Unboxing, Camera, Gaming & Beyond!

Comparing Xiaomi's Poco F6 5G vs the Poco F6 Pro, to see how these mid-range smartphones compare for camera capabilities, gaming prowess and specs. In the UK, the regular model costs from 399 GBP and the Pro starts at 499, with early bird offers.

The Poco F6 pair are powerful enough to run games like Genshin Impact and PubG on maxed out settings, despite their different chipsets. They also serve up very different optics; the Poco F6 Pro produces quite punchy, if not exactly natural photos. And in low light, it's the Pro that proves itself with more dependable camera tech.

You've got a punchy OLED screen no matter your choice, with Dolby Vision as well as HDR10 streaming support. But again, those visuals are very different. Even the output from the stereo speakers changes significantly if you grab a Poco F6 5G or a Poco F6 Pro.

Battery life is good either way however, with a similar HyperOS experience too. Plus the regular phone actually boasts some upgrades vs the Pro, including a Gorilla Glass Victus display.

My full review of the Poco X6 Pro will be going live around the same time as this video here!

The poco f6 is much more worth it

Edit: I'm only comparing the f6 against f6 pro, not the x6 pro. I know that phone is a beast

@TechSpurt On the "F6 Pro" review you mentioned you had worse signal reception around the house, compared to other smartphones, which definitely is disappointing on the Pro. How does the normal "F6" compare in that regard? Same as the Pro? Or was it normal, compared to all the others you usually test?

Poco F6 is generally better value unless you want a better screen and gpu. The 8s gen 3 on the F6 is roughly on par with 8 gen 2 in CPU but mainly loses due to a weaker GPU.

Filled with Tech Spurt goodness. Have a great summer. Really enjoy your tech coverage. Keep up the good work. Cheers mate.

Cheap phones really are getting good. Kudos to these companies for saving my wallet!

[martindimbleby]

Thanks for the review. Does Poco's work ok with android auto? I've read of some issues, will this be the same with the F6? Cheers

Best tech channel out there. Prolific, informative AND entertaining!

I'm glad you mention the always on display thing. I temporarily switched from my poco F3 to an oppo find x5 and was so confused when the always on display wasn't... Always on...

[_p.i]

Would you recommend the preparatory, and I like photography according to my current budget?

@Tech Spurt,
Nice intro to your video---😅! You're becoming a comedian along with content creator? Anyways keep up the good informative videos on smartphones.

I'm curious..
Did the F6 Pro have AOD like Xiaomi 14...?
I mean the "Life Magazine" always on options?

[tetoteto]

We want to compare these devices with another device and poco x6 pro

[smalltree]

how does the glass back of the f6 pro compared to the plastic back of f6 feel in hand when using caseless?

[originalwoodster]

I've got an F2 Pro and looking for an upgrade. Especially interested in the camera tech, which do you think would be best?

[MisterHDGaming]

Does the streaming apps like Disney Plus, prime video, Netflix support Dolby Vision & HDR10+?

[daviddamasceno]

I hate this trend of giant cameras, no headphone jack and no micro SD support (-.-*)

[renatonismo]

does Poco F6 record 4k in ultrawide ?
my 150$ poco x3 from 2020 does.
does F6 change main and ultrawide while recording ?

[THEGLADIUS]

Would you recommend this over redmi note 13 series? Or motorola edge 50?

[dwyghtyorke]

Id love to see you add Wuthering Waves to your gaming test as i think its a very "modern" benchmark for newer game requirements as on the correct settings most mid rangers can handle Genshin quite well

[garrylogan]

@Techspurt How does the F6 compare with the X6 pro Chris? I bought the X6 pro and was worried i might have jumped the gun, but the F6 doesnt appear to be that much better?
