We are two weeks in from 2024 and there are already tons of brands that put out smartphones in the market that offer outstanding features. One of those brands is Poco with their latest Poco X6 series. Today we are going to talk about what the Poco X6 5G can offer in the market for midrange smartphones.
The Poco X6 5G’s design is clean and simple as always. Its back is made out of glass that has a glossy finish and it is prone to fingerprint smudges. You can avoid those smudges if you use the free case that it comes with. You can see the Poco branding on the right side of the camera module and the 5G logo at the bottom left. As for the camera module, it houses a triple camera setup with a single LED flash. We will talk about this more later in this article.
As for its dimensions, it has rounded corners and It weighs about 187g so it is light plus it is not that thick so carrying the device around won’t be a hassle. Around the frame, the Poco X6 5G has the power button and volume rockers on the right side, on the top is the 3.5mm headphone jack, speaker grille, and microphone, and at the bottom is another speaker grille, sim tray, and the USB C port for charging.
The display of the Poco X6 5G boasts a 6.67″ AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1220 x 2712 and a refresh rate of 120Hz. It is also protected by a corning gorilla glass. The bezeless and chinless design gives a good feeling since you can pretty much watch a video on the whole screen. One thing that I don’t like about this is that they could have placed the punch hole cutout on the upper left side of the screen so that it doesn’t look like it’s blocking our view.
As for its display quality, the colors are great with decent sharpness and crispness. There is also no noticeable change in colors when viewed from a different angle. The 120Hz refresh rate is always a must-have for me since it allows me to navigate through everything fast and smoothly.
For the cameras, the Poco X6 5G is equipped with a triple camera setup that houses a 64MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro and a 16MP selfie shooter. As for their results and performance,
Camera performance is surprisingly good with a wide dynamic range and good details. It also delivers good color reproduction. The 16MP also delivers good quality images with true-to-life skin tone and good details. Here are some sample photos taken from the Poco X6 5G.
As for its video recording, the 64MP rear camera can shoot videos up to 4K@30FPS while the front only shoots videos up to 1080P@60FPS.
As for the software and performance of the Poco X6 5G. It is powered by a 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 which is then paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. With this kind of storage, we can pretty much install all the games, and download all the movies we want. As I mentioned earlier it features a 120Hz refresh rate so navigating its display is seamless and smooth. We’ve been using the device for a few days now and we haven’t encountered any problems or so. It can handle my day-to-day tasks, and all the documents I need can fit the huge storage. The Poco X6 5G also delivers outstanding performance in gaming. It has decent fps with no noticeable frame drops. Here are some of its benchmark results.
As for its battery and charging, the Poco X6 5G is backed by a 5100mAh battery capacity which is then paired with 67W of fast charging. Juicing up the device from 0 to 100 percent took us about 45 minutes which is always good, especially for people who are always in a rush.
The Poco X6 5G is priced at Php 17,999 for the 12GB RAM + 512GB configuration and it delivers an outstanding performance. It has impressive camera quality, a premium look and feel, and a lightweight but sturdy build. You also get a whopping 12GB of RAM and 512GB configuration so using it in every activity like gaming, entertainment use the phone will deliver impressive results. If the Poco X6 5G checks all your boxes it is a worthy buy.
