Third-party reviews

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

What we like about Poco X6 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Exceptional performance and speed for its price, particularly for gaming and heavy use, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra chipset.
  • Stunning 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, 1.5K resolution, and high peak brightness (1800 nits), great for content consumption and outdoor visibility.
  • Excellent value for money, offering flagship-level specifications at a mid-range price point.
  • Very fast 67W wired charging (charger and cable included in the box), which can charge the phone to 100% in around 45 minutes.
  • Solid battery life that generally lasts a full day of moderate to heavy use, with some users reporting up to 1.5 days.
  • Large storage and RAM configurations available (up to 512GB/12GB), which is typically found in much more expensive devices.
  • New HyperOS interface, which is based on Android 14 and offers smooth animations and some customization options.
  • Useful additional features such as dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, an in-display fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, and NFC.
  • Decent build quality with an IP54 splash-proof rating and Gorilla Glass 5 screen protection.
  • Guaranteed software support, with promises of three years of OS updates and four years of security patches.

What we don't like about Poco X6 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Camera performance is generally considered average at best, especially the ultra-wide and macro lenses, and struggles in low-light conditions.
  • Significant amount of pre-installed bloatware and apps (though most can be uninstalled).
  • Battery life can be inconsistent, with some users reporting fast draining under heavy use or high idle drain, though this can sometimes be improved by debloating the phone.
  • The phone can get warm during intensive gaming sessions or heavy use, especially in hot environments.
  • Lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a downside for users with wired headphones.
  • No wireless charging support, a feature found in some competing devices.
  • The glossy plastic back panel on some color variants (black and grey) easily collects fingerprints and smudges.
  • Some users reported software bugs, such as issues with the Always-On Display functionality, touch screen responsiveness during fast taps, or Wi-Fi connectivity on 5GHz networks.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro (8GB + 256GB) is a powerful mid-range smartphone driven by the Dimensity 8300 Ultra processor, delivering flagship-level performance for gaming and demanding tasks. Its standout features include a vibrant 6.67-inch CrystalRes AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1800 nits, along with a capable 64MP triple camera system. A significant advantage is the 67W turbo charging support, which quickly replenishes the large 5000mAh battery. Potential downsides may include a plastic frame build and the camera performance being less stellar in very low-light conditions compared to high-end flagships.
