Reviews for the Xiaomi Poco X6 Neo

84% Poco X6 Neo Review: Truly, deeply, madly value for money
Source: Tech PP English
At its price of Rs 15,999, the Poco X6 Neo does not face much competition and hits the middle ground between the sub-Rs 14,000 devices, which tend to compromise on display and cameras, the Rs 18,000 and above devices, which have better specs but come with higher price tags. The Poco X6 Neo brings elements like a very eye-catching design, Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and good camera and display from higher price points. While it does cut corners in terms of OIS, stereo speakers, and charging speed, it is perhaps the best phone for Rs 15,999 (lower if you can get the right offers) to buy in the market at the time of writing.

70% POCO X6 Neo 5G review: a well-rounded smartphone
Source: 91mobiles English
In summary, the POCO X6 Neo does face some stiff competition in its price range against the likes of the Moto G54 5G (review), Lava Blaze Curve 5G (review), and of course, the Redmi Note 13 5G. While the former two phones offer better performance (at least if we go by benchmark numbers), the Redmi handset offers better camera performance. All said and done, the X6 Neo emerges as an option worth considering for consumers seeking a blend of performance, versatility, and value. While it may not revolutionise the smartphone landscape, aspects like refined design, dependable performance and immersive display position it as a worthy contender in its price segment.

Poco X6 Neo hands-on review
Source: GSM Arena English
The Poco X6 Neo is a really well-designed and well-built device with a high-quality display. The design alone makes us want to recommend it because of how nice it feels in the hand in a way that makes it far better than several more expensive smartphones. The performance, for the most part, is also good, as is the general camera quality. The only downside would be the software experience, more specifically the intrusive nature of the ads, notifications, and bloatware. The single loudspeaker is also unbecoming even at this price point, and certain parts of the software could use more optimization to improve performance. We are also not fond of the device detecting benchmarks and artificially inflating its scores. Still, for the price, the X6 Neo is really good value and something we are happy to recommend.

70% Poco X6 Neo Review: Budget Hero
Source: NDTV Gadgets English
The Poco X6 Neo 5G has a starting price of Rs. 15,999 and sees competition from phones such as the Realme 12 5G, Redmi Note 13 5G, and the Vivo T3 5G. However, only the Realme 12 5G is in the same price bracket, whereas the others cost a little bit more. Of course, when you pay more, you will also get a better phone, especially when it comes to camera performance. Poco's X6 Neo's hardware isn't really new, but it does offer good value for money. The AMOLED display is definitely something that you won't find in this price segment and is great for content consumption. The phone can also take good photos in daylight conditions. You get good battery life, and decent performance as well. At this price point, the Poco X6 Neo is definitely a hero.

Poco X6 Neo Review: The Neo Budget King?
Source: Cashify English
The Poco X6 Neo continues the company’s tradition of offering value-for-money smartphones with plenty of features. It offers a great AMOLED display with slim bezels and remains one of the few phones in this segment to provide an AMOLED screen. You also get a slim body with a lightweight design, decent performance, and excellent battery life. If you can look past the average low-light camera output and bloatware-ridden Android 13, then the Poco X6 Neo is a great all-rounder smartphone at its price. You can also take a look at other options, such as the Samsung Galaxy F15 5G, Realme 12 5G, and the Lava Blaze Curve 5G.

69% POCO X6 Neo Review: Well-designed phone with a solid display
Source: Think Digit English
The POCO X6 Neo is one of the best phones for content consumption under ₹16,000. Its incredibly slim bezels coupled with a bright AMOLED display ensure that you are in for a visual treat – at home or on the go. The phone also boasts an amazingly slim and lightweight build, perfect for day-to-day usage. However, it does miss the beat in some areas. For example, the copious amounts of bloatware is quite annoying and the battery life isn’t the best in the segment. Moreover, the phone’s performance is nothing special compared to the competition. Is the phone worth its asking price? Yes. The value aspect only crumbles if you’re a power user who prioritises speedy performance and excellent battery life the most. POCO recently launched its POCO X6 series – including the POCO X6 5G (review) and POCO X6 Pro 5G (review) – to much fanfare. Now, POCO is bringing the youngest sibling of the trio to India.

Poco X6 Neo

Poco, the performance-focused sub-brand of Xiaomi, has unveiled the X6 Neo, a mid-range smartphone boasting a large display, a capable processor, and a competitive price tag. The X6 Neo takes center stage with a massive 6.67-inch AMOLED display. This translates to a truly immersive viewing experience for movies, games, and everyday tasks. AMOLED technology promises deep blacks, vibrant colors, and excellent contrast for a superior visual experience. With a 120Hz refresh rate, scrolling and navigating the interface will feel smooth and fluid. The Poco X6 Neo is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6080 processor. While not the top-of-the-line chip, it should offer sufficient performance for everyday tasks, social media browsing, and even some light gaming. It's paired with up to 12GB of RAM, which ensures smooth multitasking and handling multiple apps simultaneously. Storage options range from 128GB to 256GB, allowing you to choose based on your storage needs. The camera department on the Poco X6 Neo might be a cause for concern for some users. It features a dual rear camera system with a 108MP main sensor and a secondary 2MP depth sensor. The front-facing camera for selfies comes in at 16MP.

The Poco X6 Neo packs a 5000mAh battery, a capacity typical for mid-range devices. This should offer a full day's usage on a single charge, depending on your usage patterns. The phone supports fast charging, but the exact wattage hasn't been revealed yet. Design-wise, the Poco X6 Neo follows the current trends with a sleek and slim build. It weighs a manageable 175 grams and comes in various color options, catering to different preferences. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor offers a convenient way to unlock the device. The Poco X6 Neo presents a compelling proposition for budget-conscious users seeking a large display and a capable processor. The 120Hz AMOLED display is a highlight, offering a smooth and enjoyable viewing experience. The phone should handle everyday tasks and some light gaming without breaking a sweat. However, if camera quality is a major concern, it might be wise to consider alternatives that offer more versatility in the camera department.

6.67":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

73.25%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
