POCO M6 Pro Review: The Best Mid-Range Contender?
Source: Tech X Reviews English
The smartphone market is fiercely competitive, especially in the mid-range segment where balancing features with price is crucial. Xiaomi’s Poco M6 Pro aims to strike this balance, offering a suite of appealing features at a price point that’s hard to ignore. So, what makes the Poco M6 Pro stand out, as well as areas where it could see improvement? Powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 Ultra chipset, the Poco M6 Pro handles daily tasks and moderate gaming without breaking a sweat. The stereo speakers enhance the audio experience, and additional features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and an IR blaster are welcome additions. However, the lack of 5G connectivity might be a deal-breaker for some, and the hybrid SIM slot forces users to choose between dual SIM functionality and expandable storage.

87% POCO M6 Pro Review: Functionality For Decent Price
Source: Root Nation English
POCO M6 Pro is a good smartphone that will remain relevant for years to come. Of course, the competition in the market is enormous, and the model is not without its flaws. However, it has left a positive impression, especially considering its price. What was lacking? The cameras could have been better, but for this price, they are still decent. There’s no 5G, although in this price segment, you can find alternatives that support 5G networks. However, this might not be important for everyone. The test model was running on Android 13, but an update to Android 14 with the new HyperOS will be released soon. Other than that, everything is great! To be objective, I’ll list other devices that you might want to consider when choosing a new phone in this price category. These could include: Honor Magic5 Lite 5G, Moto G84 5G, Moto G54, POCO X5 5G, Samsung Galaxy A34 5G, realme 11 5G, Infinix Note 30 Pro, and others.

Poco M6 Pro review

Here's our review of the global model of the Poco M6 Pro 4G - a phone, which is closely specced to the Redmi 13 Pro 4G but with a different main camera. You can learn ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW about the phone's top features, build and screen quality, battery life, performance, and camera image quality.

74% Poco M6 Pro review
Source: GSM Arena English
It is hard to outline anything particularly or catastrophically wrong with the Poco M6 Pro since it really is a solid budget device. If we still had to express some wishes, a better chipset would probably be up there. While the Helio G99 is not necessarily strapped for power, it features compromises like 4G connectivity and 1080p video capture. Other than that, we weren't particularly impressed with the Poco M6 Pro's camera capabilities either, but it's not a dealbreaker. The same goes for the omission of HyperOS and the latest Android 14, both of which Xiaomi has promised to deliver as soon as possible, whatever that means. On the flip side, we enjoyed the 120Hz AMOLED display on the Poco M6 Pro. It gets plenty bright, especially for a budget device, and Xiaomi's software refresh rate handling is quite good.

POCO M6 Pro 4G Review
Source: Yugatech English
In conclusion, the POCO M6 Pro (4G) establishes itself as a feature-packed contender in the mid-range segment. It offers a nice large display, great performance, and a good set of cameras perfect for social media posting and quick documentation. The POCO M6 Pro 4G is officially available in the Philippines for PHP 11,999 (8GB + 256GB) and Php 13,999 (12GB + 512GB). These are great prices for a decent phone that delivers good value for its cost, and presents itself as somewhat of an equalizer in the midrange segment. So to finish this video off, POCO once again delivers a device that offers good functionality for its cost with the POCO M6 Pro 4G. We recommend it for users on 2-year smartphone buying cycles within a mid-range budget.

Poco M6 5G Review: Bringing 5G To The Masses
Source: Cashify English
The Poco M6 5G is a good choice for those looking for a 5G phone on a strict budget. It offers good performance, 5G connectivity, and long battery life. However, you would need to deal with the 720p display, average cameras and 10W charger in the box. If you can overlook these cons, then it is a good 5G phone for the price. Xiaomi has managed to democratise 5G with its impressive pricing, bringing 5G connectivity to a broader audience range.

80% POCO M6 Pro 5G review: same wine, different bottle
Source: 91mobiles English
The POCO M6 Pro closely emulates the Redmi 12 5G in almost every aspect. This similarity even extends to the pricing, where the base 4GB RAM variant of the handset is priced at Rs 10,999, while the 6GB RAM option sells for Rs 12,999. The Redmi 12 5G naturally emerges as the direct competitor to this smartphone. Furthermore, the M6 Pro faces competition from the Infinix Hot 30 5G, a device featuring a substantial 6,000mAh battery and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6020 SoC. In contrast, the POCO M6 Pro boasts a distinctive dual-tone design and the latest 4nm mid-range Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC, a competent performer in almost every aspect. The handset also delivers exceptional battery life, and its primary camera performs decently in daylight conditions. If these qualities resonate with your preferences and you find yourself gravitating towards Flipkart over Amazon, then the POCO M6 Pro is undeniably a worthy option to explore.

64% POCO M6 Pro 5G Review: Democratises 5G for the masses, but with tons of bloatware
Source: Think Digit English
The POCO M6 Pro 5G delivers on what it promises – an affordable 5G phone experience with reliable performance and solid battery life. It democratises the technology for the masses, and being the most affordable 5G smartphone in the market, it doesn’t cut too many corners – making it a decent, well-rounded experience. You’ve got a massive battery, a large 90 Hz display, and an eye-catching design. The misses in the camera and charging departments can be forgiven for the overall package the POCO M6 Pro 5G provides.

78% Poco M6 Pro Review: Attack of the Redmi 12 5G clone?
Source: Tech PP English
If you are on a really tight budget and want a good 5G phone, then the Poco M6 Pro might be your best option right now. At Rs 10,999, it starts at a lower price than the Redmi 12 5G, although with lesser storage. It also comes with a slightly more edgy design, and well, those software update assurances are a handy bonus. There are some who would simply term this as a 4 GB/ 64 GB version of the Redmi 12 5G, and we can see where they are coming from. We think it is a great option for consumers who find even the base Redmi 12 5G a little out of their reach or maybe just want more RAM and storage at a lower price – even the 6 GB/ 128 GB version of the Poco M6 Pro has a slightly lower price tag than its Redmi 12 5G counterpart. Yes, there are other phones in the mix, too, most notably the recently launched Samsung Galaxy F14, but we really think the budget 5G star wars right now is in the attack of the clone mode. We cannot see consumers complaining. We are not.
