What is a flagship? That's the question I've been asking myself while using the new POCO F6 Pro from Xiaomi. The sub-brand calls this phone a flagship because it is currently the best device it has to offer in its arsenal, but it's fitted with specs from what you would expect to see in a 2023 budget flagship, not one in 2024.
On the connectivity side, the phone supports 5G, up to Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC. For the operating system, it runs on Xiaomi's HyperOS based on Android 14.The design of the POCO F6 Pro is now more modern and minimal, with a flat display and a boxy silhouette using flat metal edges. The back of the phone is notably good-looking, with a matte finish and some mildly sandy texture to give it both grip and fingerprint resistance.
Additionally, the display has what Xiaomi calls 'wet touch technology', which supposedly allows the screen to be used even in the rain. In my hands, it does register contact from wet fingers, but it does nothing to prevent the chaos that arises from false touches brought about by water droplets. With a chipset this powerful, it's going to crush any regular task you throw at it and everyday usage is a smooth experience. I'm a bit perplexed, however, at why the company decided to put the gesture control feature in the vanilla F6 but not the F6 Pro, given that the chips in both phones have nearly identical performance — not that this would have made much of a difference, since my limited encounter with the feature during the launch event saw it being incredibly glitchy.
On very sunny days with incredibly strong sunlight, the camera gets overwhelmed and the pictures end up an over-exposed, under-saturated mess. Its nighttime performance isn't as bad as you can get somewhat decent shots in a dark area, but it can be inconsistent regardless of whether or not you turn on dark mode as some pictures will end up with noise either way.
