The F-series is an important lineup for Poco, as the Poco F1 was the first phone from the brand to launch in India. A friend of mine still has the phone, and it runs fine even today. The F1 was a true flagship killer with an affordable price tag.

However, things aren't the same as they used to be, and you'll find out why at the end of the review. The newest member in the F-series is the Poco F6 . Like most F-series phones, the F6 is promised to deliver flagship-level performance thanks to the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset.

I've been using the Poco F6 for the last couple of weeks to find out if the new phone is still an affordable flagship killer like the original F1 or just a mid-range upper flagship. Read on to find out. The Poco F6 is available in three variants.

The base 8GB RAM + 256GB storage option is priced at Rs. 29,999, the 12GB RAM + 256GB variant will cost you Rs. 31,999, and the 12GB + 512GB option is priced at Rs.

33,999. What's impressive is that the phone ships with fast LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

What's not impressive is the colour options. The phone is sold in two finishes – Black and Titanium. You get a matte finish on the rear panel with both options.

The box contains a 120W fast charger, but the phone is capped at 90W We received the top-end variant of the Poco F6 with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. In the box, the phone came with a soft-touch silicone case, the usual set of paperwork, a SIM ejector tool, a USB Type-A to Type-C cable, and a 120W .
