The Poco F6 comes packed with bloatware as expected from a mid-priced phone in this class. However, the smooth Xiaomi HyperOS experience makes up for this in terms of experience. The interface is responsive and navigation intuitive with apps categorised under various tabs. You get plenty of widgets to personalise the experience.
The phone is powered by the 4nm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor and is geared for gaming. The device uses an IceLoop cooling system, which Poco claims, is three times more efficient than a common vapour chamber, though the device runs a bit warm with intense FPS games. We found the display pushing the frame rates to the maximum with high graphics setting in shooter games. The Poco F6 is available in RAM / storage combinations of 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. RAM is expandable virtually up to 8GB.
Poco bundles a 120W charging adapter with the F6, though the 5000mAh battery supports only up to 90W, which is quite fast by any standards. But why is there a 120W charger inside? Well, we are not sure of the brand’s intentions, but surely, the extra juice can help top up your laptop while travelling without carrying an extra adapter. And it’s a compact one for a 120W adapter.
