Two models in the POCO X6 series: The POCO X6 Pro and the POCO X6
The POCO X6 series consists of two models: the POCO X6 Pro and the POCO X6. Both phones are destined to dominate the Android mid-range this year thanks to their innovative features and affordable price. Let's take a look at what we can expect from each of them.
POCO X6 Pro: Great speed and performance
The POCO X6 Pro is the world’s first device on the global market powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8300-Ultra, the company’s latest flagship chipset powered by a 4nm manufacturing process. This processor delivers astonishing performance, surpassing 1.46 million in AnTuTu benchmark tests. It also boasts powerful AI capabilities thanks to the Dimensity 9300, enabling effortless photography and video editing.
The POCO X6 Pro also features the improved WildBoost Optimization 2.0 technology, which enables precise power and memory scheduling to improve performance while conserving energy. It comes pre-installed with the new Xiaomi Hyper OS, which offers deeper-level optimization, improved system smoothness, and enhanced motion effects.
As for the display, the POCO X6 Pro builds on the previous generation's excellent Flow AMOLED display and introduces a few improvements. It upgrades to CrystalRes resolution, which offers a super-sharp 1.5K resolution. This resolution balances power consumption and image quality, ensuring extended use without the battery draining quickly. It also has a peak brightness of 1800 nits, making it suitable for outdoor use.
For eye protection, the POCO X6 Pro features a DC dimming eye protection mode, which prevents eye fatigue during extended use. And for added convenience, it features the beloved in-display fingerprint sensor and offers up to 512GB of storage, making it a true flagship among smartphones in this range.

The POCO X6 is positioned as the most affordable model in the series, but it's no slouch in terms of performance. It's powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip, one of the most anticipated mid-range processors of 2024. This chip uses advanced 4nm technology and offers a 30% improvement over the previous generation.
In terms of battery life, the POCO X6 features a large-capacity 5100mAh battery and 67W fast charging technology, allowing for worry-free extended use.
