Photography has been one of the most important aspects of today’s smartphones for years, but only now is it gaining importance at the low end as well. This is thanks to the launch of mobile phones like the Redmi 13, which offer high-resolution sensors at low prices.
Just a few days after the launch of Redmi, a very similar mobile arrives in Europe, both in terms of design and functionality, although even cheaper, and maintaining one of its flagship features, 108 MP camera. The new device is called POCO M6 and has a starting price of 149.99 dollars.
This price already enters the low-end range, where users’ priorities are different. It is therefore surprising to find the same camera used in the Redmi 13, which costs 30 dollars more (a difference that seems small, but which has weight in this price range). In fact, it is exactly the same sensor
This means that the POCO M6 is capable of taking photos with 3x zoom, taking advantage of the very high resolution of the sensor to obtain captures without any loss. Likewise, he is also capable of using the 9-in-1 pixel binning technology; In other words, the information for each pixel is made up of 9 individual pixels taken during capture. This extra information contributes a lot to the brightness and sharpness of the final photo.
The rest of the cameras are identical, and the 2 MP macro sensor and the 13 MP front camera are retained, in addition to the soft ring light function
However, the POCO M6 and Redmi 13 are not exactly the same. The main aspect that differentiates them is the screen. Although the size is the same, 6.79 inches, POCO has chosen to reduce costs with an IPS panel
As it also maintains the huge 5,030 mAh battery, one of the most important aspects of a mobile like this. In addition, 33W fast charging is maintained, allowing the mobile to be fully charged in 62 minutes and get 2 hours of calls with just 5 minutes of charging. Inside, a Helio G91-Ultra processor accompanied by up to 8 GB of RAM, which runs Xiaomi’s new HyperOS.
The design of the POCO M6 follows the lines of its “brother”, but with unique colors in black, purple and silver, with a glass finish and IP53 certification. The POCO M6 is now available at a starting price of 149.99 dollars (169.99 dollars after June 17) for the 6 GB + 128 GB version, and 169.99 dollars (189.99 dollars after June 17) for the 8 GB+256 GB version.
