POCO M6 Plus Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.9/10
Verdict
The POCO M6 Plus is a solid choice for those looking for a reliable smartphone with 5G connectivity. Compared to the POCO M6 Pro and POCO M6, the new iteration offers several upgrades, be it display, battery, and cameras. Compared to some direct competitors, the POCO M6 Plus stands out decently, if not better. However, the iQOO Z9x remains our top recommendation for hardcore gamers in this segment.
Pros
- Reliable performance
- 7 5G bands
- Fast charging
- Tall 120Hz FHD+ display
Cons
- No stereo speakers
- Loads of pre-installed apps
Display and design
+
POCO M6 Plus' large cutouts for the rear cameras may remind you of the POCO M6 Pro. The design also reminds me of the Redmi 13 5G, which Xiaomi launched in India last month.

Cameras

While POCO continues to skip the ultra-wide camera on its budget offerings, the new POCO M6 Plus gets a 108MP primary camera utilising Samsung's ISOCELL HM6 primary camera with an aperture size of f/1.75. There's also a 2MP macro camera on the back. At the front, there's a 13MP shooter.

Performance and software
+
Similar to the Redmi 13 5G, the POCO M6 Plus boasts Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 AE SoC. The "AE" in the moniker stands for Accelerated Edition, meaning you get a slightly boosted clock speed of up to 2.3GHz instead of 2.2GHz. As mentioned, the POCO M6 Plus also offers 128GB of storage across the two storage variants. The base model with 6GB RAM costs Rs 12,999 and the top variant, which I am also reviewing, carries a sticker price of Rs 14,499.

Battery

As mentioned, the battery size on the POCO M6 Plus has been slightly increased, but there's also faster charging support over the POCO M6 Pro.
