The POCO F6 and POCO F6 Pro were just unveiled in the global market. While they are a part of the same series, these are also rebranded versions of different Redmi models (Redmi Turbo 3 & Redmi K70 Pro respectively), which launched in China. So how are they different from one another? Let’s find out.

1. POCO F6 vs POCO F6 Pro: Different Flagship Chips

The POCO F6 was announced in India with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. This is one of the latest high-end chips from Qualcomm and was built for affordable flagship devices. On the other hand, the POCO F6 Pro is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. While the latter is a year older, it should offer similar performance (at least on paper). Although, the users will be hard-pressed to notice any difference between the two.

2. Design & Display

The Chinese brand unveiled the base model with a sleek flat design on the rear with three rings for the camera sensors. Meanwhile, the Pro variant houses a large camera island for the three image sensors. This is one area where you can see that the devices were originally from different series from Redmi.

Moving to the front, both models sport a 6.67-inch OLED display integrated with a fingerprint scanner and a 120Hz refresh rate. The POCO F6 offers a 1.5K resolution and 2,400 nits of peak brightness and the F6 Pro comes with a higher 2K resolution and an impressive 4,000 nits of peak brightness. It is a flat panel on the F6 duo with Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

3. Cameras: Dual vs Triple

A noticeable difference between the two is the rear camera setup. The vanilla F6 offers a 50-megapixel primary and an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. Its more expensive sibling offers three image sensors at the back, which consist of a 50-megapixel main, a 12-megapixel ultra wide angle, and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. For videos calls and selfies, the front houses a 20-megapixel shooter on the F6 and a 16-megapixel camera on the F6 Pro.

4. Storage Option & Charging Speeds

The POCO F6 offers up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage as its top variant. But the F6 Pro maxes out with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. These differences are also present in the charging rates as well. While both models are powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack, the F6 maxes out at 90W wired charging whereas the Pro variant offers 120W wired fast charging.

5. Pricing & Availability

POCO has announced the F6 series globally, but both models aren’t universally available in every region. For example, the POCO F6 Pro skipped the Indian market. Looking at their pricing, the POCO F6 starts from 379 US Dollars, while the POCO F6 Pro starts from 499 US Dollars. The former comes in Titanium Glow, Classic Black, and Everland Green colors, and the latter is available in simple Black and White options.
