There are several types of devices dotting the mobile tech landscape. There are flagships, mid-rangers, and budget phones. But, what happens when a mid-ranger accidentally forgets that it’s a mid-ranger and steps into the flagship space? Well, you get one of the greatest kinds of phones out there, the Flagship Killer.
The Xiaomi Poco brand has been pumping out phones like these over the years, and it doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. I had the opportunity to review the Poco F6 Pro. Does this phone uphold the Poco brand lineage? Let’s find out! In case you don’t know about the Poco series, it came about in 2018 with the first phone sporting the most powerful Snapdragon chip of the day.
This, coupled with some other flagship specs, made the roughly $299 price point seem like a typo. However, back in that day, the term “Flagship Killer” was in full swing, so it was just another one for the pile. Now, in 2024, the term Flagship Killer is in flux, as the line between flagship and budget phones has blurred.
So, the Poco F6 Pro has a lot of weight to pull if it wants to achieve that title. Before jumping into this review, I recently reviewed the Poco F6. This is the less-expensive version of the F6 Pro, and it proved to be much more powerful than its price had let on.
With a beautiful design, nice display, excellent performance, decent camera, and overall solid experience, it proved to be a true flagship killer. You can read my review of the Poco F6 to see if it�.
