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

@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?

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
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.

Uncle Spurt! Please do a in-depth video of (?) the Poco F6!!!!! And would please share where do you get those wallpapers???? I'm losing my freaking mind
I've got an F2 Pro and looking for an upgrade. Especially interested in the camera tech, which do you think would be best?
comparison with the x6 pro when 👀
Great video! Both are cool phones but I think I might get that basic one.
I'm sooooo excited about this preview
Would you recommend this over redmi note 13 series? Or motorola edge 50?
Do you know if it can be activated with any operator here in the USA to be able to use it for calls?
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
Every new item is released, there is always Tech Spurt there. Don't forget to sleep, mate.

The screen on the Pro looks better in terms of colour rendition. I just had an offer on these two phones as a result of using the App for some years. I might even try one.
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.

Just a suggestion, for gaming, you might wanna try Farlight for FPS and Wuthering Waves (almost similar to Genshin but a newer game) so you check how the phone would stand against new games.
