Xiaomi has introduced two phones to the global market. Among them is the POCO F6 Pro, which, unlike the non-Pro variant, comes with a last-gen SoC. To be specific, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. While that’s not the latest and the greatest from Qualcomm, you need to understand that it’s a flagship chip from last year.
Yes, you will not get top scores in benchmarks, but it still has what it takes to deliver fast performance. Another thing to note is that the choice of SoC has made the POCO F6 Pro debut with a reasonably low price tag. The starting price is $500, with early customers having the chance to score a $50 discount. With this pricing, it stands as a much better pick than the latest upper mid-range smartphones.
Competitive Specs of POCO F6 Pro
POCO F6 Pro pairs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. There’s a 16 GB and 1 TB option as well, but it will only be available for select markets. The memory is LPDDR5X, while the storage is UFS 4.0, which means you can expect to see smooth performance even during heavy load.

On the front, the POCO F6 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch display. It’s a 1440p+ 12-bit OLED panel that features a peak brightness of 4000 nits. The panel also has a high 3840 Hz of PWM dimming, which will result in a comfortable viewing experience in all lighting settings.
A 5000 mAh battery powers the internals of the smartphone, and it can charge at 120 watts. Xiaomi promises a 0 to 100 percent charge in just 19 minutes, which means you don’t need to panic when you find the phone dead. As for the cameras, the POCO F6 Pro has a 50 MP primary sensor with OIS on the back. It’s paired with an 8 MP ultrawide and 2 MP macro. The front houses a 16 MP selfie shooter.
