Poco M6 5G hands-on review

The Poco M6 5G is a budget-friendly smartphone with some compromises. Here's a quick rundown based on hands-on reviews:
Design and Display:
- Plastic build with a matte finish
- 6.74-inch LCD display with a teardrop notch
- Bezels are on the larger side
- Corning Gorilla Glass protection
The design is fairly standard, but the phone feels sturdy. The display is large but not the sharpest, and the refresh rate can drop down to 60Hz in some apps, making scrolling feel less smooth.
Performance and Battery Life:
- MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset
- Available in 4GB/64GB and 8GB/128GB configurations
- Decent performance for everyday tasks
- Not ideal for gaming
The Poco M6 5G handles basic tasks well, but don't expect top-of-the-line performance. The phone stays cool even under load, which is a plus. Battery life is supposed to be good, lasting up to two days on a single charge depending on usage. However, the charging speed is a bit slow.
Other Considerations:
- Triple-lens rear camera (main, ultrawide, macro) - camera quality is average
- MIUI 14 software with some bloatware
- Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
The camera system is decent but not great. The software is a customized version of Android with some unnecessary apps pre-installed.
Overall:
The Poco M6 5G is a good option for users on a tight budget who prioritize battery life and a large display. However, if you're a gamer or need a phone with a super sharp display and fast performance, you might want to look elsewhere.
