Poco X6 Pro Is a Super Fast High Value Phone For Asia

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco is known for some of the best value phones, and the brand’s latest X6 Pro and M6 Pro are already strong contenders for value phone of the year. The higher-tier X6 Pro (pictured above), offers a 6.7-inch 1.5k resolution 120Hz OLED panel with a touch sampling rate up to 2160Hz, and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra, a 4nm silicon that is in the upper mid-tier range level in terms of performance.

The bezels wrapping the screen are thin and uniform, and considering the price range of this phone, it is a very, very good panel.

The phone offers up to 12GB of memory and up to 512GB of storage, and the MediaTek chip is paired with a software optimization algorithm named WildBoost that effectively allows the phone to allocate specific resources to gaming.

From my test, the Poco X6 Pro is a strong performer, able to run graphically intensive games at 90fps or above. It’s not better than dedicated flagship gaming phones from ASUS, but for a phone that’s going to be sub-$400, it’s very impressive.

The phone is well built, with a vegan leather back and flat plastic frame that allows the phone to stand up on its own. Despite the frame being plastic, it has a coating that gives it a more premium feel.

I don’t have official pricing of the X6 Pro at time of writing this, but reliable rumors has this phone priced at under $350, converted from the Indian price. India is a key market for Poco, and its phones have done well in the country thanks to its focus on gaming and value. The X6 Pro is going to be hard to beat from a value perspective.
