Smartphones have become essential tools in many people’s daily lives, not only for their virtues in communication, but also for their ability to entertain us. They are a convenient solution for a quick gaming session. Unfortunately, not all phones get what they need to perform at their best, which can lead to issues like overheating, lag, short battery life, slow charging, etc. at critical moments that spoil the experience.
That brings us to the next question… How to choose the right specs for a cell phone to avoid these potential problems? To give you an answer, we will use the POCO F6, which will be launched on May 23, as an example to find out how the different features of the smartphone will affect the daily use. This way, you won’t fail next time you buy a mobile phone.
Are you going to play on mobile? Chip selection is critical
When it comes to gaming on your phone, the performance of the chip or processor is critical to the smoothness of the game. Therefore, it is important to choose a phone with a high performance processor. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 series is highly recommended for mobile gamers as it can handle all kinds of games. The new POCO F6 received the more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, sharing many similarities with the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
It represents a big leap compared to the previous generation (POCO F5), which used a mid-range Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chip in terms of performance and power efficiency. POCO F6, on the other hand, relies on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 high-end chip from the Snapdragon 8 series, which offers much better performance.
This chip improves AI performance, enabling smoother operation of applications and more efficient image and video processing. Although the performance of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is slightly lower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it still exceeded 1.53 million points in the AnTuTu benchmark, making it a true flagship chip.
It can easily run anything you throw at it, whether it’s games, video playback, or demanding tasks (like high-resolution photography), and it always delivers super-fast responsiveness without any issues.
But don’t forget that it needs to dissipate heat!
Now, you must understand that performance does not depend only on the processor. Therefore, POCO F6 has implemented heat dissipation technologies and improvements in touch response speed, which ensures a gaming experience without heat and without lag.
POCO F6 is equipped with the latest WildBoost 3.0 and LiquidCool 4.0 technology, which effectively dissipates the heat generated during long gaming sessions and thus gets the most out of the processor. At the same time, thanks to these technologies, it achieves more stable frame rates, avoiding sudden drops in FPS and excessive power consumption.
Another aspect you shouldn’t ignore is tactile feedback. And slow mobile touch response can make you lose your game in games where every millisecond counts. In this sense, POCO F6 has implemented speed improvements in the chain for touch and response, making it one of the best mobiles for gaming.
The screen should be beautiful and low consumption: 1.5K is ideal
A mobile screen is what you see every day, so its quality greatly affects the user experience. If you’re asking about the graphics quality of games, you’ll need a screen that’s above 1080p. Currently, the 1.5K CrystalRes screen of the POCO F6 is one of the most recommended smartphones.
The POCO F6’s 1.5K CrystalRes panel is more energy-efficient than a 1080p panel and offers details close to WQHD+ resolution. Therefore, this display is suitable to meet the needs of users for energy efficiency and display detail. It offers excellent definition and resolution when displaying text and images, as well as an unprecedentedly sharp gaming experience, which maximizes immersion.
90W Fast Charging + 5000mAh Battery: Don’t worry about the battery when playing on your mobile.
Having your phone run out of battery in the middle of a game can be stressful for gamers, waiting for the phone to fully charge before using it again. So it’s important that your next mobile phone like the POCO F6 has a large 5000 mAh battery and 90W Turbo Charger for fast charging so that it has a stress-free gaming experience. Long-lasting battery life and fast charging ensure the phone lasts all day and only needs 10 minutes of charging to wake itself up.
The battery technology in POCO F6 has been improved to ensure lower temperatures, longer battery life and extended battery life. Even after thousands of cycles, the battery capacity remains above 90%. This is great news for passionate gamers who want to play games with high power consumption and be close to a charger. With POCO F6, gamers can enjoy great autonomy and amazing charging speed.
Price is also a determining factor.
There are many phones available in the market that meet the above criteria, but they are expensive. As such, mobile phones like the POCO F6 are expected to be priced below $400 (€368.41 in currency) and are among the most sought after by consumers. Very few phones in this price range offer you high-end specs.
On May 23, POCO will hold a launch event in Dubai, where it will reveal more details on the handset and its price. So mark your calendars to experience the POCO F6 in its entirety, a great value for money smartphone and an option worth considering for those looking to upgrade their phone. We will update this entry as soon as we get more information about the mobile.
