POCO X6 Pro 5G price in the UK, specification, and release date

Xiaomi’s Poco X6 series has hit the market, with the Poco X6 Pro emerging as the flagship model. Boasting a new chipset, a rapid 120 Hz AMOLED display, and a 64 MP OIS triple camera, the Poco X6 Pro aims to make a mark in the competitive smartphone landscape.

Xiaomi has expanded its global smartphone offerings under the Poco brand, unveiling three new models, including the Poco M6 Pro and the Poco X6 series. Comprising the Poco X6 and the featured Poco X6 Pro, the latter serves as the successor to the Poco X5 Pro (approx. £300 on Amazon).

The Poco X6 Pro 5G impresses with an AnTuTu score of 1,464,228 points, ensuring high and consistent performance for gamers. Equipped with WildBoost Optimization 2.0 and LiquidCool Technology 2.0, the device comes in two memory configurations: 8+256 GB or 12+512 GB, featuring LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash memory.

The Poco X6 Pro 5G sports a CrystalRes 1.5K Flow AMOLED DotDisplay measuring 6.67 inches, boasting a resolution of 2,712 x 1,220 pixels. With a peak brightness of 1,800 nits and a 120 Hz refresh rate, the screen, with its thin edges, occupies 94 percent of the device’s front. Sunlight, reading, and cycle modes enhance user experience, and the display is safeguarded by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

A 16 MP (f/2.4) selfie camera is housed in a small punch hole, supporting video recording up to 1080p at 60 frames per second. The triple camera setup on the back enables 4K video capture at up to 30 fps, comprising a 64 MP main camera (f/1.7) with 1.4μm pixels (4-in-1), an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens (f/2.2) with a 120-degree field of view, and a 2 MP macro cam. Despite fewer megapixels than its predecessor, the camera quality remains a priority, although specific details about the OIS and EIS stabilized camera sensor are undisclosed.

The device incorporates a 5,000 mAh battery with 67 W TurboCharge, excluding wireless charging technology. Featuring a fingerprint sensor in the display and AI Face Unlock, this model marks the introduction of Xiaomi HyperOS as the operating system instead of MIUI 14.
