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

What we like about Poco X6 5G (12GB + 512GB)

  • Excellent 1.5K AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and high peak brightness
  • Fast 67W wired charging with the included power brick
  • Solid mid-range performance from the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 for daily tasks
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is increasingly rare in this segment
  • Good build quality for the price, featuring Gorilla Glass Victus protection
  • Reliable main 64MP camera performance in daylight conditions
  • Loud and clear stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support

What we don't like about Poco X6 5G (12GB + 512GB)

  • Pre-installed bloatware and system ads that require manual removal
  • Underwhelming secondary cameras (ultrawide and macro) with inconsistent quality
  • Average low-light camera performance with noticeable noise
  • Glossy back panel on certain colors acts as a heavy fingerprint magnet
  • Mixed reports on battery life, with some users experiencing faster-than-expected drain
  • Launched with Android 13 instead of Android 14, affecting long-term update cycles
  • Occasional thermal issues during intensive gaming or fast charging

Verdict

The Xiaomi Poco X6 (12GB + 512GB) is a strong mid-range smartphone featuring a powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, a large 6.67-inch 1.5K Flow AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus protection, and a decent 64MP main camera with OIS. The phone offers excellent value with generous memory (LPDDR4X RAM) and storage (UFS 2.2), dual stereo speakers with a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a large 5100mAh battery with 67W fast charging support (charger included). However, the phone is only IP54 splash-resistant, the auxiliary 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro cameras are underwhelming, and it comes with pre-installed bloatware apps and launched with an older Android 13-based MIUI 14 (though HyperOS update is available).
