POCO F6 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The POCO F6 feels like a modest upgrade to the F5, maintaining the current trends. The smartphone's performance is among the best, and the display quality is impressive, though I wish it featured an LTPO panel. Despite this, the cameras are good for a gaming-focused device, and both battery life and charging speeds are respectable.
Pros
- Impressive performance
- Excellent display quality
- Capable cameras
Cons
- Design lacks premium look and feel
- Pre-installed apps
Design and display
+
The POCO F6 design remains largely unchanged from last year's F-series offering. The handset features the same plastic unbody design with flat edges and individual camera rings. However, those camera rings have a slightly bigger footprint and jut out of the frame even more. Additionally, the glossy back has been replaced with a shimmery panel with texture to keep fingerprints and smudges at bay. While I appreciate the changes, I think it lacks the panache that some of the other similarly-priced phones bring to the table.

Cameras

The POCO F6 camera setup includes a 50MP OIS Sony IMX882 primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide lens. The field of view of the latter is 119 degrees and the image quality can't really match the handset's main sensor. There is some warping around the edges of the frame, and the details appear underwhelming too. However, the colour calibration is consistent with that of the primary camera. The handset prioritises colder tones to add a contrasty look to the images.

Performance and software
+
Performance has always been the core aspect of the F-series smartphones, and the POCO F6 is no exception. It is the first smartphone in India to feature Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, which aims to make the on-device AI more accessible to users. The chipset is said to deliver the most sought-after capabilities from the flagship Snapdragon 8 series, including on-device generative AI, an always-sensing ISP, hyper-realistic mobile gaming, improved connectivity, and lossless high-definition sound.

Battery and charging
+
While competitors are opting for larger battery cells, the POCO F6 retains the same battery capacity as last year. The handset houses a 5,000mAh battery, which scored 11 hours 42 minutes on the PCMark battery test at 80 percent screen brightness. This is lower than most of its arch-rivals. In our 30-minute YouTube video playback test, the handset consumed 4 percent of its battery life, which is higher than the Realme GT 6T, which packs a 5,500mAh battery.
