Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Poco M6 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Stunning 120Hz AMOLED display with high peak brightness and thin bezels
  • Exceptional value for money with large storage (up to 512GB) and RAM (up to 12GB)
  • Brisk 67W fast charging with the adapter included in the box
  • Solid daylight photography from the 64MP main camera with OIS
  • Lightweight and slim design that feels comfortable in hand despite its size
  • Retention of useful legacy features like the 3.5mm headphone jack and IR blaster
  • Reliable and fast in-display fingerprint sensor

What we don't like about Poco M6 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Lack of 5G connectivity on the global 4G model
  • Significant amount of pre-installed bloatware and occasional system ads
  • Mediocre secondary cameras (ultra-wide and macro) and weak low-light photography
  • Video recording is limited to 1080p with no 4K support
  • The Helio G99 Ultra chipset struggles with high-end, demanding games
  • Software experience can be buggy with reports of battery-draining background processes
  • Plastic build lacks a premium feel compared to some metal or glass competitors

Verdict

The Xiaomi Poco M6 Pro (12GB + 512GB) is a powerful mid-range smartphone known for its exceptional memory configuration and 120Hz AMOLED display. It typically runs on a MediaTek Helio G99-Ultra processor, offering reliable performance for daily tasks and gaming. Key highlights include its vibrant screen, a versatile 64MP triple-camera system with OIS for stable shots, and strong battery life supported by 67W fast charging. A notable con is that it often lacks 5G connectivity, and while performance is solid for its class, it may not match the sustained power of true flagship chipsets under heavy load.
