Xiaomi has officially launched the POCO F6 series for the global market, with a total of two phones consisting of a vanilla version and a Pro model. While being the brand’s flagship lineup, both devices are actually in the upper middle-class range when you consider the specs, hence the attractive price tags.
To start with, there’s the regular F6, which sports a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120H refresh rate, a global peak brightness of 1,200 nits, and an HDR peak brightness of 2,400 nits. It is the first phone in Malaysia to feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, which is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
Regarding imaging, the vanilla model gets a 50MP main camera with OIS on the back alongside an 8MP ultra-wide while the front has a 20MP selfie shooter. Powering it is a 5,000mAh battery with support for 90W charging. Software-wise, both phones ship with Xiaomi’s HyperOS.
On the other side, we have the F6 Pro which is fitted with a 6.67-inch 1440p 120Hz AMOLED display that has a global peak brightness of 1,200 nits and a whopping peak brightness of 4,000 nits for HDR content. Under the chassis lies last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with up to 16GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.
For optics, the flagship device is equipped with a 50MP primary snapper with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 16MP front camera. The phone is also powered by a 5,000mAh cell but it supports a much faster 120W charging speed.
The F6 is now available in Malaysia with a starting price of RM1,799 for the 8GB+256GB variant and RM1,999 for the 12GB+512GB variant. However, you can get an early bird offer from 23 to 31 May where the phones will be priced at RM1,559 and RM1,699 respectively.
