POCO F6 Pro review | Flagship or Flop?

Ғылым және технология

If you're after the best-performing phone under £500, there's a very good chance you'll be at least intrigued by the Poco F6 Pro. It's the Xiaomi sub-brand's latest attempt at delivering flagship-level performance at a very accessible price. Has it succeeded though, or is this a mid-range flop? Cam reviews it in this latest video.

    Not amazing - 3 major upgrades, 4 years of patches. I don't think they're typically the fastest at rolling those out either.

    It's a Qualcomm-equipped flagship/semi-flagship Xiaomi, though. You'll have custom ROMs to play around with for years. As an enthusiast phone, it's got a long and fruitful life ahead of it.

    @@Admiral_Bongo thanks. I’ve got an lg v60 which OSS great for audio with its ess sabre quad dac and sd card slot, and removable second screen. It just doesn’t have any security updates. I’d keep this in preference to the Asus. It’s only the potential for years of security updates that would tempt me. Do you know what dac the ASUS uses?

    ​@@AndrewKZreadUK Can't say I do. Have been a Xiaomi fan for years, cause of the specs making them perfect for enthusiasts (lotta RAM, good CPUs, quality batteries, etc.). Most Xiaomi phones have Snapdragon Audio DAC or their in-house developed stuff. That said, I don't think phone DAC is that important nowadays. I mean, a combination of a custom ROM and a 3rd party player like Foobar 2000 will do 24/192 audio without an issue. Every sound card since the late 00s has been able to. There's a lot of snake oil in the DACs and that's coming from a sound engineer. Most records are mastered at 44.1k or 48k anyhow. So you wouldn't lose much with a cheap DAC, other than plain volume (thus the ability to handle high Ohm wired headphones). Either way, all I can say is that Asus makes good stuff (except they often have small batteries). You could also give Motorola a shot. Really shouldn't worry that much about security updates if you know your way around custom software. LineageOS and Paranoid Android have their own security stuff. And many other ROMs (CrDroid, Derpfest) are based on Lineage to begin with.

    I've had the phone for about a month now and haven't had any problems, but..... the battery isn't great. It never lasts a full day, I never use it for gaming so I'm surprised it'd flagging towards the end of the day.

    A software optimisation should fix it on the run but I think this is pretty common for phones who have a very powerful chipset. It's similar to having a gaming laptop that it never lasts for a day on casual usage.

    Hey man before you say anything ask those who have them. Well I have poco f1, f2 pro, f3, f4 gt, f5 and everything is going great. Imagine f1 is currently running crdroid android 14 custom rom... What 2 years are you talking about????You are free to buy the A55 with 25w charging when the 2020 Poco f2 pro 4 years old model charges with 30w😂😂
