POCO M6 Pro 5G 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
Regardless of its similarities with the Redmi 12 5G, the POCO M6 Pro proves itself as a capable device. The handset`s dual-tone design is noteworthy and adds to its appeal. Furthermore, the phone offers dependable performance for essential tasks and maintains reliable battery life. While the primary camera performs admirably in daylight, the auxiliary camera and charging speeds fall short of expectations.
Pros
- Appealing design
- Capable performance
- Excellent battery life
- Good daylight cameras
Cons
- Bloatware
- Charging speeds are slow
- Same as Redmi 12 5G
Design and display
+
While the difference may be subtle, the design of the POCO M6 Pro distinguishes it from its similarly-specced cousin, the Redmi 12 5G. Instead of a single-tone design, the POCO M6 Pro features a dual-tone finish, with a rectangular camera bar that extends across the top of the flat back surface. The handset comes in a couple of colour options: Forest Green and Power Black. The variant I received for review is the Power Black, which exhibits a greyish hue on the rectangular bar. This certainly contributes to the phone's overall appeal.

Camera-wise, the POCO M6 Pro is equipped with a 50MP primary sensor paired with a 2MP depth sensor at the back. For selfies and video calling, the handset boasts an 8MP selfie camera. In a nutshell, the camera system performs admirably when exposed to favourable lighting conditions, such as during daylight. The primary camera excels in capturing intricate details, along with a satisfactory level of dynamic range and fairly accurate colours.However, it's important to acknowledge that the phone's portrait mode does encounter challenges with edge detection. Additionally, the performance of the 8MP selfie camera falls within the average spectrum. Should you desire a more detailed analysis, I recommend perusing our comprehensive review of the Redmi 12 5G.

Performance and software

The new Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 makes the POCO M6 Pro a capable performer for everyday use. The handset adapts to casual browsing, social media scrolling, streaming, and messaging quite seamlessly. While multitasking and gaming performance might not be particularly outstanding on the device, it successfully runs games like BGMI without any noticeable lags or issues. Be that as it may, the phone might face challenges when subjected to heavy loads, as evidenced by the CPU Throttle test results.As for the RAM and storage configurations, the POCO M6 Pro is available in two options: 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB. The system can expand RAM virtually by 2GB on both variants, while the storage is user-expandable up to 1TB using a microSD card. Unlike the Redmi 12 5G, there is no 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant here.Here's the 5G speed test done on POCO M6 Pro using the Airtel 5G Plus network in Dwarka, Delhi:Coming to the software, the M6 Pro runs Android 13-based MIUI 14 out of the box. While the inclusion of the POCO launcher gives the UI a subtle differentiation from the Redmi 12 5G, the core essence and features are essentially the same. While I won't be going into details, it is worth mentioning that the phone comes pre-loaded with various third-party apps and bothersome push notifications. Additionally, POCO has not yet made any official announcements regarding future software updates for the device.

Battery and charging speeds
+
The POCO M6 Pro offers a terrific battery life. It packs a 5,000mAh battery, which can last you for an entire day without needing to recharge it again with regular usage. A slightly heavy usage might get you looking for a charger by the end of the day.When it comes to charging, the handset takes over two hours for a full charge from zero, which appears somewhat slower compared to its competitors. Although a 22.5W charger is included in the box, it's worth noting that the POCO M6 Pro supports an 18W charging solution.
