POCO F6 vs POCO X6 Pro 5G
Short answer: buy the POCO F6 if you want the faster Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, a brighter screen, a Sony main camera with 4K 60fps video, a 20MP selfie camera, 90W charging and IP64. Buy the POCO X6 Pro if you want a very fast gaming phone for less money with the same size 120Hz 1.5K AMOLED screen and 5000 mAh battery. The F6 is the better phone; the X6 Pro is the better value.

Design and build
Both have a plastic frame. The POCO F6 has a glass back with Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and weighs about 179 g. The POCO X6 Pro comes with a glass or vegan leather back, Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and weighs about 186 g.
The F6 is rated IP64 and the X6 Pro IP54, so the F6 handles dust and rain a little better. The X6 Pro's leather-style back gives a nice grip in long gaming sessions.
Display
Both have a 6.67 inch Flow AMOLED at 1220 x 2712 (1.5K) with 120Hz, 12-bit colour, Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The F6 reaches up to 2400 nits peak, against 1800 nits on the X6 Pro.
Indoors they look nearly the same. Outdoors in bright Pakistani sun, the F6's extra brightness makes the screen easier to read.
Performance and chipset
The POCO F6 uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (4 nm). The POCO X6 Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra (4 nm). The Snapdragon is faster, especially in graphics, and keeps frame rates steadier in long sessions.
The Dimensity 8300-Ultra is still one of the fastest chips in its price range and runs PUBG Mobile and Free Fire very well. If you want the highest settings in heavy games like Genshin Impact, the F6 is the safer choice.
Cameras
The POCO F6 has a 50MP Sony LYT-600 main camera with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide, plus a 20MP selfie camera, and records 4K at 60fps. The POCO X6 Pro has a 64MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide and a 2MP macro, plus a 16MP selfie camera, and records 4K at 30fps.
Photos from both are good in daylight. The F6's 4K 60fps video and stronger selfie camera make it better for vlogging and TikTok.
Battery and charging
Both have a 5000 mAh battery. The POCO F6 charges at 90W wired and the X6 Pro at 67W wired. Neither supports wireless charging.
Both last a full day of mixed use. The F6 refills faster, which helps when load shedding leaves only a short window of power.

Software and updates
Both run Android 14 with Xiaomi's HyperOS. The X6 Pro launched in January 2024 and the F6 in May 2024, so the F6 should be supported a few months longer. Xiaomi's update promise for POCO phones is shorter than Google's or Samsung's flagship promises.

Who should buy which
Buy the POCO F6 if you want the fastest gaming in this pair, a brighter screen, 4K 60fps video, better selfies and faster charging.
Buy the POCO X6 Pro if you want strong gaming performance at a lower cost and don't need the extra camera and brightness.
A simple rule: if you play heavy 3D games at the highest settings or record a lot of video, spend the extra on the F6. If you mostly play PUBG, Free Fire and use social media, the X6 Pro gives you most of the performance for less. The newer POCO X7 Pro (POCO X7 Pro) is also worth a look if your budget allows. The current price of each model is shown on its page.
