In 2018, Xiaomi launched Pocophone, a new brand accompanied by a first smartphone that appealed to us, the F1, with the ambition of building an image of flagship killer. 2024, Pocophone, now Poco, has established itself well in the telephony market. With its catalog divided into three ranges, each differentiated by a letter, the brand has just unveiled its best equipped model, the F6 Pro, sold from €579.
The device adopts a design close to its cousin released earlier in the year, the X6 Pro, namely a flat frame and a large photo block proudly displaying the brand name and giving the impression of accommodating four photo modules , while there are three sensors and a flash which sit on the back of the smartphone. The F6 Pro is also available in two colors, white or black, with a curved glass with a marbled effect for the most beautiful effect.
The terminal, featuring a 6.67-inch Flow Amoled panel with thin, almost symmetrical edges, is pleasant in the hand. With its 160.86 x 74.95 x 8.21 mm and its weight of 209 g, it is within the average of current smartphones. Its screen, with a particularly high resolution (3200 x 1440 pixels, or 526 ppi) and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, benefits from a brightness announced at 4000 cd/m² in peak HDR, which we will be sure to check it in the lab.
The power of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
While its little brother, the F6, is equipped with the very recent Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, the F6 Pro benefits from another high-end SoC from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, whose qualities are no longer in doubt. prove, coupled with 12 or 16 GB of RAM depending on the model, with the possibility of adding up to 8 GB of virtual RAM. On the GPU side, we can count on the Adreno 740 here, guaranteeing a good experience gaming for fans of mobile games, which Poco strives to seduce. A configuration which ensures the device is compatible with the new wifi 7 standard, as well as Bluetooth 5.3, and obviously 5G.
Let us add that a 5000 mAh battery accompanies the whole, and that it benefits from compatibility with the intelligent charging technology signed by Xiaomi and called HyperCharge, at 120 W, promising the terminal to reach 100% in less than 20 minutes. In terms of software monitoring, Poco guarantees, like the X6 Pro, three years of Android updates and four of security patches (compared to two + three previously); Let us specify in this respect that the smartphone is immediately marketed under Android 14 with the new HyperOS in-house overlay. It also has IP54 certification against dust and splashes. Can do better.
On the photo side, this terminal includes a 50 Mpx main sensor (f/1.6 lens) with OIS, an 8 Mpx ultra wide-angle (f/2.2), as well as a macro module (f/2 ,4) which, as is often the case, is figurative. The manufacturer, however, promises improved photos in low light, with an AI-powered night mode, an optimized burst mode and technology inspired by the Light Fusion 900 developed on the Xiaomi 14.
