About the Xiaomi Poco M6
The Poco M6 is about getting 5G into the hands of people spending as little as possible, and everything about it follows from that decision. The Dimensity 6100+ is a competent entry-level 5G chip, so the phone connects to modern UK networks and handles messaging, video and light apps without complaint, but it is not built for demanding games. The 6.74-inch screen is large and runs at 90Hz, which helps it feel responsive, though at 720p it looks soft and it is not especially bright outdoors. Poco has been generous with the practical details: a dedicated microSD slot that does not steal your second SIM, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. The omissions matter, though. There is no NFC, so contactless payments with Google Wallet are off the table, the selfie camera is a basic 5MP unit, video is capped at 1080p and charging is a leisurely 18W. It is a phone for undemanding users who want 5G, a big battery and expandable storage rather than polish.

Xiaomi Poco M6 Specifications
Spec Scores
Under £200 Phones · 128 phones
- Dimensity 6100+
- Octa-core (2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
Based on calibrated CPU benchmark rankings (60%) and GFXBench GPU scores (40%). Apple chipsets included via editorial calibration since AnTuTu under-represents Apple's architecture.
- 6.74 inches
- 720 x 1600 pixels
- IPS, 90Hz, 600 nits peak
Based on panel type (LTPO is the modern flagship gold standard), resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, screen size, and HDR10+ / Dolby Vision support. Marketing peak-brightness claims are capped at 3500 nits to prevent inflation.
- Single camera setup
- 50 MP main camera
- 1080p video recording
Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.
- 5 MP front camera
- 1080p selfie video
Based on selfie megapixels and max selfie-video resolution.
- 5,000 mAh
- 18W wired, PD
Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
