Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Poco F6 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • High-resolution (1440p) AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, 12-bit color, and high 4,000-nit peak brightness
  • Flagship-grade performance for gaming and multitasking via the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset
  • Extremely fast 120W wired charging that can reach a full charge in roughly 20-30 minutes
  • Premium build quality featuring a metal frame and glass back with a marble-like finish
  • Generous storage options including a model with up to 1TB capacity
  • Strong main camera performance in daylight with good detail and dynamic range
  • Excellent value for money, offering high-end specs at a mid-range price point

What we don't like about Poco F6 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Heavy software bloatware and pre-installed ads within Xiaomi's HyperOS system apps
  • Lack of wireless charging, which was present in its predecessor (Poco F5 Pro)
  • Mediocre secondary cameras, including an 8MP ultrawide and a 'useless' 2MP macro sensor
  • Disappointing IP54 durability rating, offering only basic splash resistance instead of full water immersion protection
  • Battery life is considered average or 'just okay,' particularly during intensive gaming sessions
  • Frequent thermal issues, with some users reporting the device gets notably hot under heavy load
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack or expandable microSD card storage
  • Uses older Gorilla Glass 5 for screen protection compared to more durable versions on cheaper competitors

Verdict

The Xiaomi Poco F6 Pro (12GB + 512GB) is a powerful "flagship killer" smartphone featuring the high-performance Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and a stunning 6.67-inch WQHD+ (3200 x 1440) Flow AMOLED display with an ultra-high 4000 nits peak brightness and 120Hz refresh rate. Key strengths (pros) include the excellent price-to-performance ratio, a large 5,000mAh battery with blazing-fast 120W wired charging (fully charged in about 25 minutes), a premium-feeling design with a sturdy metal frame, and a capable 50MP main camera with OIS. Potential weaknesses (cons) include an underwhelming 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro camera setup, the use of older Gorilla Glass 5 for screen protection (vs. the non-Pro model's Gorilla Glass Victus), only an IP54 ingress protection rating, and a software experience (HyperOS) that comes with bloatware and occasional ads.
