It is good to see someone is still making an affordable phone that does the basics. In Australia 5G is not available outside the major cities, so 5G is more for those people too frightened to face the Drop Bears lurking in the trees outside the cities.
@@jackwilson5542that is a really good idea for phones that are capable of 5G or for people who don't need it or don't have coverage. It saves the phone from wasting power searching for 5G❤
Just when you thought the whole 5G situation couldn't get any worse, Australians also have to put up with drop bears now... I don't know which of the two are scarier
Just bought my wife the purple 12Go Ram/512Go Rom version during St Valentine's Promotion. With all the Mi Store coupons/loyalty points and special offer I bought it for €198. Very nice phone, light in hand and very reactive as well as being stylish. A lot of it's characteristics hold up very well to and even surpass my Redmi Note 10 Pro. Living in Auvergne France the lack of 5G is not a deal breaker. Fully recommended.
This is a excellent phone from Poco, the M6 Pro, for people who will NOT spent a lot of money to buy a new phone. Stereo speakers !, 67 Watt charger, Amoled display. Mediatek G99 Ultra!. Only 4 G. Forget 5 G, cause 4G will still available for 10 years .
Using Helio g95 for 3 years now. Crazy how my phone is still fluid smooth. People don't give mediatek that much credit. They are really nice chips and that helio g99 should be even better
Hi Uncle Spurt! Watching this on my shiny yellow X6 Pro, purchased in no small part following your excellent review. Really fancied the M6 for the headphone jack and expandable storage but the 4g only turned me to the X6. With the very generous trade in for my old Poco F3 offered by Xiaomi I paid just over two hundred British punds, very pleased , cheers!
Hi, yes it does. It feels faster in use, the screen is sharper and the cameras seem a little better. The F3 is still a solid phone but I wanted something with more storage and longer os support, and it's a bit lighter 😊. Hope this helps.
Recently got one. Cause I'm over them flagships... I don't need the camera to be top.... Very happy with it. I'm actually shocked that you can get this for 200 eur.
I never normally comment on your videos Chris, but I watch dozens of them and indeed the last few phones I have purchased have been because of your moist reviews. Great job you do. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Agreed, I have an X3 Pro as well, and although it no longer is my daily driver, I do use it from time to time because it still works. Although still on Android 12 though and there are not frequent updates.
I have had the M6 Pro for approx 5 weeks now - started off blazingly fast on MIUI - then did an update to Hyper OS - then the wheels started falling off, eventually updated to latest hyper os rom and factory reset it (twice just to be sure) and now i am starting to love it like i did before the update. Very nice in the hand, like a slice of Battenburg and a Tunnocks teacake.
Been considering between this M6 and the Redmi Note 13, and that stereo speaker just wins it over for me. Really wish that the Pro variant for the Note 13 had the expandable storage slot, I'd have chosen that over the M6 for the better performance but alas, I'm very dependent on my current phone sd card, so not being able to use it on a new phone is a major bummer for me. Thanks for the review mate, you've been really helpful !

I am usually a Redmi Note user, but even with the fancy new camera on the note 13, it seems to have a bit of a blueish cast to the images. Is the Poco M6 camera as 'blue-ish' ? (because I know both are from Xiaomi's brolly, but not sure if the lens manufacture/camera tech is the same.) Also, does the camera go back to a default setting every time you use it, or will it 'remember' the choice of the 64Mp? Great reviews. :) cheers - oh, and small extra query - what is the audio recording capability like? Samesies? Or is one better than the other? :)
Seems perfect for me, like everything I ever wanted especially the headphone jack! I settled on a Pixel 6a for now but I hate not having a headphone jack or SD card slot. Also not sure if it's all Pixel phones but my signal keeps cutting out and I am pretty sure it is Pixel phones!! Heard the same from others with Pixels too. Have you noticed the same? Tempted to buy this but I'll try go a bit more with this as I mostly use my phone for none phone stuff anyways lol
Pixel 6a is officially THE WORST phone I've ever had... was lured away from a Mi 9 by the marketing bs about the 6a camera....sticking with Xiaomi from now on! 👍
So nearly there! Lost me on the lack of 5G! 🙂 I'd like to see a power loss test on 5G versus 4G. Early phones suffer a bit supporting the newer technology.
Phone is pretty good i have it for a few months now and i have to say its good . I have the 12gb ram 512 gb storage same purple color . Its very respectable can recommend
This or a four year old S20Fe 5G? What do you think. Screen, speed and storage is my top features. But display and smoothest are my top, top most important
I own a poco device, but the fps turbo shitter doesn't really seem to work. It just shows 60 fps achieved because the moment you do it everything on the sceen is still, so it can achieve it. But once you start moving and check fast the turbo mode you see yourself around 30 fps
Apart from the no 5G this phone is very very good value for money, I still don't have 5G coverage where I live and it's intermittent when out and out also for me so that doesn't seem to be a problem for me. It has everything I want in a phone the headphone jack, SD card slot and under screen fingerprint reader so it seems like something I'll consider when next upgrading.
This is the channel I always rely on when it's upgrade time. I'm coming from a realme 8 which has been great and after extensive research I think the Poco M6 pro is going to be the one for me. If anyone out there is reading this and has any suggestions on other phones in this price range I should consider, I would really appreciate it. Or If anyone could point out why it might not be the best option, I would love to hear that too! Thanks guys 😊👍🏽
I see that it's very similar to the Redmi Note 13 Pro except for the 200 mpx camera. Which one should I buy between the two? they have the same specs basically. so which one is better than the other???
UFS 2.2 is garbage even tho this guy never mentions it. This phone should be priced less than 229 which is what its listed on Amazon at, it should be 199 or even cheaper. That Helio is slooow! Good things I like are headphones jack, micro SD slot and stereo speakers. I personally don't care about 5G but lots do so take that as you will.
I`ve had the F3 for 2 years and love it, my next phone will definitely be a Poco, just need to work out which one. This model might be a step down after the F3 though.
Except the redmi note 13 does not have optical stabilization, no nfc, 33W instead of 67W charging and is overall less powerful (338 vs 450 antutu score).
Hi Willy, how's it going?. In my humble opinion, you should get this one instead the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro; by the way, I loved the blue one. Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
I have experience of Xiaomi it's good if you get the pro version rather than the normal one as the pro can run 120hz max on all games if you have Redmi note 12 pro or above.

@@michaelgeorge5436 Yeah I'm debating whether to buy the F5 just now or wait for F6. I get a feeling it's going to be expensive though since the F5 sold so well.
Wouldn't touch AliExpress, return issues, good chance of being asked for import duty on delivery and it's not much cheaper than Amazon which is now £229, there's a voucher code if you buy some add ones.
I were about to get this phone for my brother but since this model came in 2024, so I got him a Poco M5s instead. Not as powerful as M6 Pro but nevertheless, my brother like it so much. Got it in a very good deal too in September sale.

That's largely due to the bad reputation that Mediatek has earned years ago that they're struggling to shrug off, especially in the custom ROM scenes
And the bigger Problem were with the software not the chip
Im using realme 7 with G95 and after 4 and half years im surprised it still works perfectly fine! Shout out to Mediatek!
