POCO X6 Pro Review: The Mid-Range Performance King for 2025
If you’ve been searching for a smartphone in Ireland that delivers flagship-level performance at a mid-range price, the new POCO X6 Pro might just be the phone you’ve been waiting for. Packed with powerful hardware, an excellent display, and a gamer-friendly processor, the X6 Pro is making waves in the European market—especially for Irish buyers looking for serious value.
In this in-depth review, we'll be covering the look, performance, camera, battery, and most crucial features so you know if the POCO X6 Pro will be your new phone.
1. Price and Ireland Availability
The POCO X6 Pro has finally been launched in Ireland and Europe, with the entry model starting at around €399.99
That positions it in the mid-range segment squarely, competing with offerings like the POCO X7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A56.
You can purchase it online from fone4u.ie or from our local stores selling Xiaomi products.
2. Design & Build Quality
POCO X6 Pro doesn't cut corners on looks.
- Finish: Matte back with glass-like premium finish (available in Black, Yellow, and Titanium Silver)
- Weight: 190 g – light enough to hold with one hand easily
- Durability: Gorilla Glass 5 screen protection
- Buttons & Ports: USB-C, dual stereo speakers, no headphone jack
Not the thinnest of its class, but the curved sides and balanced weight make it very comfortable to hold one-handed.
3. Display: Smooth & Vivid
POCO hasn't held back any expense with the 6.67-inch AMOLED display:
- Resolution: 1.5K (2712 × 1220)—superior to Full HD+
- Refresh Rate: 120 Hz adaptive refresh for silky-smooth animations
- Brightness: Up to 1800 nits peak—readable as easily as possible in Irish sunlight
HDR Support: Dolby Vision and HDR10+
One of the best screens on the market for under €400 in Ireland—perfect for Netflix binge-watching, gaming, and reading outdoors.
4. Performance: Real Mid-Range King
At the heart, the POCO X6 Pro is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra processor that comes along with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
In practical usage:
- Gaming: Can run games such as Genshin Impact and Call of Duty: Mobile at high resolution without delay.
- Multitasking: Quickly switching between several apps.
- Benchmarks: Beats a significant majority of its rivals in its category.
As a gamer or heavy app user in Ireland, this level of performance for this price is difficult to beat.
5. Camera System
The POCO X6 Pro has a triple camera setup:
- Main: 64 MP OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation)
- Ultra-Wide: 8 MP
- Macro: 2 MP
- Front Camera: 16 MP
Daylight images are clear with excellent dynamic range, and OIS assists in low-light photography. The ultra-wide is decent for landscape shots, and the macro is a plus. The front camera is decent for social media selfies and video calling.
6. Battery Life & Charging
- Capacity: 5000 mAh – can easily last 1.5 days with normal use.
- Charging: 67W turbo charging – 0% to 100% in around 45 minutes.
- Charger Included: Yes (unlike some brands).
For commuters, students, and travellers in Ireland, this kind of battery reliability is a big plus.
7. The Software Experience
The POCO X6 Pro runs Xiaomi’s HyperOS based on Android 14.
It's neater than previous MIUI iterations, featuring smoother animations, enhanced privacy, and 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches as promised.
8. The Key Features at a Glance
