POCO F6 and POCO F6 Pro Review: Which Should You Buy?

[@TechNick]

Official Price List: POCO F6: 8+256GB = $379 / 12+512GB = $429 ($339 / $379 early bird) POCO F6 Pro: 12+256GB = $499 / 12+512GB = $549 / 16GB+1TB = $629 ($449 / $499 / $579 early bird)

Which one have RAW mode?

[@rndm3678]

Hey nick please review the 4000nits of f6 pro seems a gimmick someone is review it on direct sunlight but it seems only 800 nits

[@RagnarEldur]

Will there be a Poco version that has the same specs as the Redmi K70 Pro?

[@Cocoyz]

Wonder how the pro is lower than the regular when in fact the pro should be ahead in all aspects...?

[@andilenkosi5604]

Where can I get these devices in south Africa 🥺

[@brian_moseti]

the F6 sounds like the better option

[@apl7591]

Spekar bass good ? And sound quality good?

[@alxalx5501]

No

[@medtrabelsi1748]

Only if you can't afford the F6 Pro 😀

[@MatCendana]

Was just about to buy the Pro. But this video made me hesitant. Yes, the F6 looks like a better buy instead.

[@MatCendana]

Some people can also afford an iPhone 15 Pro. But there's also the desire to get the best value for money. As with the Poco F6 and Pro, of which they can easily afford the latter...if they want to.

[@wenkaichoo4169]

If anyone is wondering, the F6 Pro (Redmi K70) was originally made to be the pro version of X6 Pro (Redmi K70E) instead of F6 (Redmi turbo 3). Hence the similarities between the F6 Pro and X6 Pro.

[@cyphen15]

i think k60 ultra is better than f6 pro (k70)

[@hablerochris7508]

"pro version of X6 Pro" 😂 they should stop using the word "pro" unless it has a Snapdragon 8 series (with no "s")

[@alxalx5501]

​@@cyphen15stop capping bruh

[@Justin_isslpng]

So to sum it up, Poco F6 is slightly better overall while F6 Pro compensates for it's back shooters and performance

[@allstar1234]

No the pro is better overall as he concludes in the video just a few bits missing to make it that much better value

[@alxalx5501]

No its not better bruh the pro is better overall

[@minn92]

I tried F6 looks better though for camera

[@giovanni2910]

F6 is the better pick, not everyone cares about back cameras compared to selfie cams, and the performance on both is identical to the naked eye. Benchmarks don't mean anything vs real time usage. It looks better too. 90w charging is still very fast, you don't need 120w from pro.

[@hermanstokbrood]

​@@giovanni2910 Yeah, but some care. So, what's your point?

[@hcdangan]

You forgot to mention that the F6 Pro has the wet touch display feature - you can operate the touch screen properly even when it is wet. Surprised that all reviewers as of now failed to mention this difference. This feature is important especially for motorcycle riders who can get their screens wet during the rain when using navigation apps.

[@-Marc06]

The regular f6 have it too, I mean it has up ip 64 so it'll have it, even the Chinese variant of the f6( Redmi turbo 3) has it

[@justjuniorjaw]

The normal one has it.

[@niphanif]

not only for riders but also for one loves bringing their phone while bathing lol

[@keelfly]

thank you for this as it is important for me shooting photos in nature while raining. so F6 does not support that at all?

[@jatravonava7693]

big kudos for you, you are the only one in amongst hundreds of youtubers that you analyzed video resolution on ultrawide camera, this is what I was searching around and nobody mentioned that. funny that my 200$ poco x3 nfc from 2020 records 4k in ultrawide.

[@igorcicimov6234]

Seems like they made the f6 better than they should have 😊

[@hermanstokbrood]

Not really, it's still €400. 3 years ago I got an Poco F3 for €300. At that time it was a better offer than the F6 now.

[@PAUL-MH]

You can get the poco f6 always on display to stay always on. You have to go into developer options and turn off the mi ui optimization. Once you do that the always on display will display all the time. But it will take a huge hit on the the battery though!

[@nickmotsarsky4382]

But why? How come the Pro version doesn't take a huge battery hit?

[@PAUL-MH]

@@nickmotsarsky4382 I don't know it's just the way poco and xiaomi do things. The pro version comes with the always on display out of the box and the phone is optimized by the mi ui optimization. If you turn it off all the apps run in the background and you cant stop them running unless you stop them yourself. I tried turning the mi optimization off on my poco x6 just to get the always on display to display all the time and because it wasn't being optimized by the mu ui optimization the battery drained really bad. I don't know why some poco and xiaomi devices don't have full always on displays with oled panels it's just the way it is!

Hi there. Since doing this video have you had any more updates? Has the nonstop focus hunting when recording a video (using main camera) still present? Would you say colours on the main and selfie camera show natural, true to life colours? Any skin smoothing on the selfie camera? Camera HDR much improved than last year?

[@skywalkeracademy5945]

Interesting, I had the exact opposite reaction about the camera design In fact, the only reason I picked up the Pro over the regular version is because of that. I absolutely hate the look of the regular f6 with these two giant circles...
