    Poco F6 Pro, main camera. The same shot with the Pro is slightly sharper but the colors are far more saturated.

    Poco F6, main camera, 2x zoom. You can zoom x2 with the main camera and it will crop, but this F6 shot is still sharp enough.

    Poco F6 Pro, main camera. The F6 Pro also at 2x zoom is much sharper, with far more vibrant colors.

    Poco F6, main camera. Indoors with limited light, you can see some noise creeping in with the F6 here.

    Poco F6 Pro, main camera. The F6 Pro has a larger sensor, enabling it to achieve a much sharper shot.

    Poco F6, main camera. This close-up with the bubbles in my coffee proves the F6 does not need the useless 2MP macro lens.

    Poco F6 Pro, main camera. The F6 Pro keeps everything on focus here, but it really exaggerates the colors.
  • View of a cemetery and stone building on the grounds with houses and trees in the distance

    Poco F6 Pro, main camera, 2x zoom. This 2x zoom shot has bags of detail, but the color of the grass is distractingly unreal.
  • Shiny blue buggy with orange stripe parked beside a sidewalk with shops and people in the distance

    Poco F6 Pro, main camera. Most folks will be happy with this camera, look at the reflections in this old race car body and the detail in the grille and tyres.
  • Rocky cliff overlooking the ocean with blue skies overhead

    Poco F6 Pro, main camera. It’s tough to make out the sails of the distant regatta here or the Bass Rock, and the green and yellow on the rocks is over the top.
  • Small boats without sails stuck in the muddy lowtide area of a dock

    Poco F6 Pro, main camera. The F6 Pro has a good depth of field and keeps the whole harbor in focus and captures the glinting sun nicely.

    Poco F6 Pro, main camera. Here’s a shot of Luna that’s sharp enough to pick out hairs and her darker face and has a slight bokeh.

    Poco F6 Pro, main camera, portrait mode. This shot uses the portrait mode, and it does a pretty good job.

    Poco F6 Pro, ultrawide camera. The ultrawide in the F6 Pro is not the best and there’s some blurring, but it performs far worse in the F6 (next shot).

    Poco F6, ultrawide camera. Soft and noisy, this ultrawide F6 shot is a bit of a disaster. Best stick with the main camera.
