| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Unique, flashy rear design - the polycarbonate back has a thick etched strip running through the middle with large Poco branding towards the bottom which shines in iridescent colours when light hits it
- The front has a sleek look with just a single punch-hole camera in the middle-top and thin bezels
- The Poco X3 is well-built for a phone at its price
- The side-positioned fingerprint scanner is easy to find, very responsive, and accurate
- There’s also IP53 rating for dust and water resistance
- Vibrant and crisp 6.67-inch IPS LCD screen - the expansive canvas with smooth transitions and rich colours with high refresh rate make it one of the best in this segment
- The 120 Hz refresh rate is exclusive to Poco for this segment - it makes the UI very quick and responsive and general content and scrolling on the display looks smooth
- HDR10 support for content and sites like YouTube while Widevine L1 brings high-res OTT streaming
- Poco's UI is identified as Poco Launcher as well as MIUI in different parts of the UI - MIUI has always been one of the most refined Android UIs out there, and continues to get even better - it offers a good combination of aesthetics, useful added functionality, lots of customizability, and optimisation - everything is neatly categorized and colour coded for easier access
- Excellent performance for the price from the new Snapdragon 732G SOC - it raises the bar in terms of how smooth budget phones can be - regular usage like scrolling pages, switching between apps is extremely fluid and heavy games like COD: Mobile can also be cranked up to higher graphics or frame rates for a respectable performance
- Good quad cameras for the price - a 64MP primary snapper, a 13MP ultrawide shooter, followed by a 2MP macro cam and a 2MP depth sensor
- The default 16MP photos from the main camera are excellent for this class - there is enough detail, high contrast, and commendable dynamic range - the colours are on the warmer side, but other than that the Poco X3 performs splendidly for its price
- The ultrawide photos are quite good for a mid-ranger - they are quite detailed, the colours are nice and there is a reasonably wide dynamic range, the lens distortion correction is decent
- The macro camera is decent for the occasional snap of a flower or bug
- The portrait shots are pretty detailed - the Poco X3 is a capable portrait shooter with proficient subject separation and natural-looking blur
- The low-light photos from the camera are decent, with enough details and light - the night mode brightens the whole scene and restores the highlights, the photos look great on the phone's screen and in low resolution on social media
- The 20MP samples from the front camera present enough details, the colours are nice, and the contrast is excellent - portrait selfies are available and are decent
- Video recording is good from both primary and ultra-wide cameras - electronic stabilization is available for the cameras
- Good set of stereo speakers - the speakers get very loud with good enough bass
- Excellent battery life from the 6000 mAh cell - the battery can last a whole day with heavy use, with light to moderate use it can be stretched for the second day
- Very good fast charging from the 33W fast charger - it takes little over an hour to charge the phone completely
- The Xiaomi Poco X3 is one of the best budget smartphones in its segment - it crams in a huge battery, solid screen, good cameras, and excellent performance for an unbeatable price, add in the great audio setup and it makes for a fantastic package
|
- Looks elegant and understated while still being eye-catching - the back has a very subtle gradient design where you can see the thunderbolt symbol flashing off the phone
- The dual hole-punch cutout at the front gives the phone a modern appearance
- Fingerprint Sensor is embedded in the unlock button and it is insanely quick and a pleasure to use - face recognition continues to be quick too, and works equally well even in the dark
- The back is Gorilla Glass 5, so scuff marks aren't really an issue
- Good 6.6-inch IPS LCD FHD+ display - it gives off quite punchy, and vivid colours
- The 90Hz refresh rate on the Realme 6 Pro makes for a smooth and seamless visual experience
- Brightness levels are more than sufficient for outdoor use
- Software is one place where Realme has taken a big leap, the Realme UI is easy to use - it is also packed with features such as Digital Wellbeing, Focus Mode, Dark Mode, and Riding Mode among others - there are some more interesting and useful features like Realme Dual-Mode Audio, which allows you to connect a Bluetooth and a wired headset at the same time to listen to music on the smartphone
- Excellent performance for the price - the Snapdragon 720G is a powerful chip, so as expected, general usage and multitasking is handled superbly - gaming performance is nothing to scoff at, the phone handles heavy games like PUBG at the highest settings with ease
- Good quad cameras for the price - there's a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP telephoto camera, and a 2MP macro camera
- Pictures from the primary camera look pretty good with fairly good details and very good dynamic range
- The HDR mode works quite well and retains the highlights of the picture and there is a good amount of detail in the shadow regions
- Ultra-wide camera also works well, both indoors and during daylight (though, as expected, quality is not on par with the primary camera)
- Photos captured by the telephoto camera are decent too - you can zoom upto 20X with a mix of optical and digital zoom
- Portrait mode works well, even for objects, and the level of depth can be adjusted before you take a shot
- In low light, the primary camera is pretty capable and manages a fair bit of detail with good colours and you can use the night mode with all cameras except the macro and it helps boost the brightness and detail in the shot
- Very good dual selfie cameras, 16MP primary and 8MP Ultra-wide - the wide-angle camera is great for taking a group selfie and you can even shoot videos with it
- Very good battery life with the 4300 mAh cell - the 6 Pro delivers a solid day and a half of battery life, even with heavy usage
- The bundled 30W fast charger is very quick and manages to charge the battery from zero to about 90 percent in an hour
- The Realme 6 Pro is a good overall package that offer almost everything that one would want from mid-range phone - it looks great, offers powerful performance, clicks stunning pictures in almost all lightning situations, and delivers long lasting battery life - the inclusion of wide-angle selfie camera and telephoto camera gives it an extra edge over the competition

| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- A tad bit too bulky, measuring over 10mm and weighing over 225 grams
- Brightness could have been better for direct sunlight use
- There are still at least a dozen unnecessary apps pre-installed, though most of them can be uninstalled
|
- The Realme 6 Pro is quite chunky at 8.9mm and a bit heavy at 202g
- There are still a number of pre-loaded apps however (though most of these can thankfully be uninstalled)
- The macro lens doesn't really excel at what it is supposed to do, the detailing of the images is low because of the very low 2MP resolution (though, it help take closer shots of smaller subjects)
- However, the Realme 6 Pro and the Realme X2 have very similar features, camera capabilities and performance, and the only really differentiating factors are their design and displays and if you would prefer an AMOLED panel and an in-display fingerprint sensor, the Realme X2 would be the one to pick
