Introduction
Poco is a Xiaomi brand that produces a range of phones with four letters as the primary suffix: C for entry-level phones, M for entry-to-mid-range phones, X for upper-mid-range phones, and F for "Flagship killers", meaning phones that compete with high-end models from Xiaomi, Vivo, Redmagic, Samsung, or Apple.
The F-series Poco phones are generally rebrands of the Redmi K-series or Redmi Turbo-series from the Chinese market, aimed at gamers and power-users. Rebranding usually involves modifications to the battery, camera sensors, and other minor details, most notably and annoyingly the higher ROM option (1 TB in China, usually 512 GB max in the global version).
The Poco F6 Pro, launched in May 2024, is the second model in the F6 series. It is on par in terms of raw performance with the Poco F6 but equipped with additional features as well as more powerful RAM (12 or 16 GB). It comes standard with 5G. It is a rebrand of the Redmi K70 with differences in 3G/4G/5G band options and certifications related to the global market.
The Poco F6 Pro is a flagship killer, initially marketed around €580-€700. It is available in two colors (black and marble white) and three versions for the global market:
- 12 GB RAM and 256 GB ROM (€581 at launch)
- 12 GB RAM and 512 GB ROM (€631 at launch)
- 16 GB RAM and 1 TB ROM (€701 at launch)
This phone in 12 GB/512 GB and 16 GB/1 TB configurations clearly targets gamers and the public who want a very high-performance machine for many years to come (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with a score announced by Poco at 1,642,770 points and measured by Antutu V11 at an average of 1,750,073).
It ships with Android 14 and Hyper OS 2, features a beautiful 6.67" screen, and weighs approximately 209 grams, making it practical for both everyday use and gaming. Due to the presence of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, the tendency to heat up is more pronounced than on the Poco F6.
