Poco X6 Pro First Impression

The Poco X6 Pro stands out with its eye-catching vegan leather finish, especially in its vibrant yellow color. It features a large, rectangular camera module at the top, housing a triple camera array.

This includes a 64MP primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. The device also boasts a 16MP front-facing camera.

A notable aspect of the X6 Pro is its distinction as the first smartphone in India to feature Xiaomi's Android 14-based HyperOS. This new operating system offers improvements like faster app launch times, enhanced UI, and smoother animations.

The smartphone flaunts a 6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, impressive touch sampling and PWM dimming rates, and a peak brightness of 1,800 nits. Accompanied by dual speakers, the display promises a high-quality multimedia experience.

Performance-wise, the X6 Pro processor is the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset and includes a 5000mm stainless steel vapor chamber cooling system for efficient heat dissipation.

It offers up to 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512GB of UFS4.0 storage. The device is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery supporting 67W fast charging.

The more affordable Poco X6 shares several features with the Pro version, including the display, camera setup, and charging capabilities. It even has a slightly larger 5,100mAh battery.

However, the X6 opts for a glossy plastic body, which is more prone to fingerprint marks, and a smaller, more protruding camera module.

Inside, the Poco X6 processor includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, similar to the Redmi Note 13 Pro, promising comparable performance. Unlike its sibling, the Poco X6 runs on the older Android 13-based MIUI.
