Just under a twelvemonth after the X5 and X5 Pro launching , the Poco has brought out its newest flagship handset , the X6 Pro . This launching was look to bring home the bacon multiple climb and changes to the previous X5 Pro flagship model .
Despite both being fairly evenly matched in specification , there are famed differences . Keep reading to check more about how thePoco X6 ProandX5 Procompare on fundamental factors , such as their design , tv camera and carrying out .
Pricing and availability
The slightly old of the two , the Poco X5 Pro launched in February 2023 , whereas the X6 Pro launch in January 2024 . Even so , both are presently equally touch in monetary value in both the UK and EU and are retail for £ 369/€349.90 .
Neither are available in the US .
Design
The Poco X5 Pro and X6 Pro are very similar in their design , as they both have straight edge and slightly rounded corners , and have a 6.67 - in covert .
All of the X5 Pro models have a textured pliant dialog box , whereas two of the three available X6 Pro models have a gamey - color plastic back . The X5 Pro comes in a choice of three colours , yellow-bellied , Blue and Black , and the X6 Pro comes in Yellow , Grey and Black . The jaundiced X6 Pro , however , has a vegan leather back , making it a near option for those who hate the dreaded fingermark mark .
For screen brightness , the X6 Pro is importantly brilliant than the X5 Pro . While the X6 Pro has a maximum brightness level of 1800 nit , the X5 Pro track in comparison and only reaches 900 nit at its top . This is also humiliated than its gaudy counterpart , the X5 .
Despite this , the X5 Pro fulfill the HDR criterion ofHDR10+andDolby Vision . The X6 Pro also has HDR10 support , but what is n’t listed on the specification mainsheet is the Dolby Vision standard . Our X6 Pro commentator , Luke Baker , however , said that their “ Netflix app can exhibit Dolby Vision content on this phone as well . ”
Camera
Both handset feature a terzetto of cameras at the rear and a 16MP selfie camera , however the X5 Pro bizarrely boasts a higher 108MP main television camera compared to the X6 Pro ’s 64MP . It ’s worth pointing out though that although the X5 Pro has a megapixel tally double as big , we come up in our reviews this did n’t necessarily make a huge departure in exposure character .
Our X6 Pro reviewer set up that its “ independent camera , however , is very decent . There ’s plenty of detail , the colours look realistic and the HDR effect is more raw than we ’ve seen from some other devices . ”
And while our X5 Pro referee , Connor Jewiss , said “ images taken with the master snapper are crisp , and boast vivacious colours ” he does mention that “ soar into an effigy ( or but get a little near ) and detail seems to dissolve away . Sharpness seems to fall apart quite quickly , resulting in muddied and reasonably blurry figure . With a 108MP principal detector , this is n’t what I ’d expect . ”
Performance
The Poco X5 Pro black market the belated MIUI 14 skin of Android , whereas the X6 Pro is one of the first phone to send with Xiaomi ’s Modern operating arrangement , HyperOS , install . As its forerunner , HyperOS promises more dynamic and smoother invigoration than MIUI 14 .
Although this seems like a significant difference , our follow-up found that HyperOS is “ almost identical to MIUI . ”
Even so , the X6 Pro also runs on the sinewy MediaTek Dimensity 8300 - radical processor , compared to the X5 Pro ’s mid - range Snapdragon 778 G chipset that was released back in 2021 . This is a considerably older chip compared to its successors , and in comparison to the 8300 - Ultra which is commonly reserved for higher - closing smartphones .
Our X6 Pro reviewer said that they “ never found its operation to be lack , even during fleshy multitasking ” whereas our X5 Pro reviewer says “ when you try out to multitask , you may palpate things slowing down on the phone . It ’s something you’re able to ferment around , for sure , but you ’re leave wanting more . ”
In our bench mark tests , the X5 Pro receive a 786 single - magnetic core grade and a 2988 multi - core grievance , whereas the X6 Pro received a 1424 single - core score and 4403 multi - core score which means the latter is importantly more powerful .
Battery Life
Both the Poco X6 Pro and X5 Pro have a relatively large 5000 mAh battery , so unsurprisingly the two are equally match for stamp battery functioning . Our benchmark test showed that after 60 minutes of Netflix cyclosis , the X6 Pro lost 8 % of charge , marginally high than the X5 Pro ’s 7 % loss .
Both handsets also support fast charging up to 67W , but our benchmark tests actually register the X6 Pro to be marginally truehearted than the X5 professional , submit just 45 second to get from 1 - 100 % compared to 68 minutes .
