Review of the POCO M6 Pro 5G

Recently, POCO announced the M6 Pro, a new smartphone with some familiar-looking characteristics, in India. The phone has an amazing 6.79-inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 CPU. A 50MP dual rear camera is part of its camera setup, and the phone has a sturdy

 5,000mAh battery that is supported by an 18W fast charging system. Importantly, these features perfectly match those seen in the Redmi 12 5G smartphone (review).

Verdict

Despite the POCO M6 Pro's resemblance to the Redmi 12 5G, it shows itself to be a powerful gadget. The dual-tone design of the phone is notable and enhances its appeal. The phone also provides steady performance for critical tasks and consistently maintains a solid battery life. The auxiliary camera and charging times fall short of expectations, despite the primary camera's excellent performance in the daytime.

Display and design

• The POCO M6 Pro's design sets it apart from the Redmi 12 5G, despite the fact that the differences may be minor. The POCO M6 Pro has a dual-tone finish rather than a single-tone and a rectangular camera bar that runs across the top of the flat back surface. The phone is available in the colors Power Black and Forest Green. The Power Black model that I was sent for review has a grayish tint on the rectangular bar. This undoubtedly enhances the phone's appeal in general. Review of the POCO M6 Pro 5G

• The two gadgets differ in only one significant way. The M6 Pro has a glass back, two camera rings, and an LED flash ring, just like the Redmi 12 5G. The phone includes a plastic frame, and an IP53 splash-resistant fingerprint scanner located on the side, and unlocks the phone quickly. On the bottom edge, there is also a speaker grille and a USB Type-C port, while on the top edge, there is an Infrared blaster and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is no specific microSD card slot on the POCO M6 Pro. You may still put one in the secondary SIM card slot, though.

                   

• The POCO M6 Pro 5G has a 6.71-inch FHD+ 90Hz refresh rate display with a selfie camera positioned in the center of the punch-hole. The display appears attractive both inside and outside. At the price, it provides 550 nits of maximum brightness, which looks respectable. The viewing angles are considerably constrained because it is an LCD panel. Widevine L1 certification, however, on the panel enables compatibility with full HD quality material from streaming services like Netflix and others.

Cameras

• The POCO M6 Pro's camera setup consists of a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor at the back. The phone has an 8MP selfie camera for selfies and video calls. In conclusion, the camera system works flawlessly under ideal lighting situations, such as in the sun. The primary camera does a great job at capturing fine details, as well as having a respectable amount of dynamic range and pretty accurate color. Review of the POCO M6 Pro 5G

               

• It's crucial to note, though, that the smartphone's portrait mode does have issues with edge detection. The 8MP selfie camera's performance is also on par with industry standards. If you want a more thorough analysis, I suggest reading our in-depth Redmi 12 5G review.

Application performance

• The POCO M6 Pro is a capable performer for daily use thanks to the latest Snapdragon 4 Gen 2. The device easily adjusts to casual browsing, scrolling through social media, streaming, and chatting. Although the device's gaming and multitasking performance may not be particularly impressive, it successfully runs titles like BGMI without any obvious lags or difficulties. Nonetheless, as seen by the CPU Throttle test results, the phone may experience issues when under a lot of strain. Review of the POCO M6 Pro 5G

                                                          

• There are two RAM and storage versions for the POCO M6 Pro: 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128 GB. For both models, the system can virtually increase Memory by 2GB, while a microSD card may be used to increase storage by up to 1TB. There is no 8GB RAM + 256GB storage option available, in contrast to the Redmi 12 5G.
• The Airtel 5G Plus network was used to evaluate the POCO M6 Pro's 5G speed in Dwarka, Delhi.

• In terms of software, the M6 Pro comes pre-installed with MIUI 14, which is based on Android 13. The POCO launcher offers the Interface a slight edge over the Redmi 12 5G, but otherwise, the main functionality and features are identical. While I won't delve into specifics, it is important to note that the phone already has a number of unofficial apps and intrusive push notifications installed. Furthermore, POCO has not yet released any official statements on upcoming software updates for the gadget. Review of the POCO M6 Pro 5G
  
  
  

charging and battery rates

Excellent battery life is provided by the POCO M6 Pro. With regular use, its 5,000mAh battery can keep up with you for the entire day without needing to be recharged. At the end of the day, a moderately high usage pattern can have you searching for a charger.

The phone's charging time, which is more than two hours from zero to full charge compared to its rivals, is noticeable. It's important to keep in mind that the POCO M6 Pro supports an 18W charging solution even if a 22.5W charger is provided in the package.

Final judgment

In practically every way, the POCO M6 Pro closely resembles the Redmi 12 5G. The base 4GB RAM edition of the phone is priced at Rs. 10,999, while the 6GB RAM option is available for Rs. 12,999. This similarity even extends to cost. Hence, the Redmi 12 5G emerges as this smartphone's main rival. The Infinix Hot 30 5G, a handset with a huge 6,000mAh battery and a MediaTek Dimensity 6020 Chipset, is another product that competes with the M6 Pro.

The POCO M6 Pro, in comparison, has a standout dual-tone design with the most recent mid-range Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 Processor, a capable performer in nearly every regard. Additionally, the phone has excellent battery life, and its primary camera does alright in the daytime. A review of the POCO M6 Pro 5G is unquestionably a worthwhile alternative to investigate if these characteristics align with your preferences and you tend to gravitate toward Flipkart rather than Amazon.
