The Xiaomi Poco X6 is a 6.67-inch smartphone with up to 12 GB LPDDR5X-RAM and 512 GB UFS 4.0 storage. It is run by a MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra SoC and its integrated ARM Mali-G615 MP6 GPU. The AMOLED panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and has a resolution of 2712x1220 pixels, resulting in 446 PPI. In addition to supporting HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision, the display also offers a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The equipment also includes a triple-camera with 64 MP, an Infrared transmitter, dual-SIM with 5G, Bluetooth 5.4 and WiFi 6, as well as a 5000-mAh battery that can be charged using the included 67 Watt charger.
No memory card slot though. I currently have 128GB + 256GB and I am already running out of storage. There is a 512GB option, but that’s not future-proof. Anyway, as I’ll soon need 128GB + 512GB it wouldn’t be viable anyway. Sadly 1TB cards are too expensive for me.
The screen I don’t care about. Actually I’d be worried about burn-ins. I know the technology has improved, but burn-ins on *LED will happen over time, and permanently. Which is also why I picked up a phone with IPS LCD.
Lastly, Qualcomm SoC. I want to get a phone with MediaTek SoC due to no-root band selection in engineer mode (at least I hope that still exists).
What remains is about as good as what I have now.
Software, maybe. I am still on MIUI 12.5 with Android 11. I am always scared of software updates, whether it is my laptop, phone, phone apps, router firmware, etc… I’ve heard bad stuff about MIUI 13.
Since Android 8, things are getting only more restrictive which breaks stuff.
