Google Pixel 8a vs Poco F6 Pro | Camera, Gaming, Battery and Specs Reviewed

#PocoF6Pro #GooglePixel8a #Pixel8a
I've reviewed both the Google Pixel 8a and Poco F6 Pro, and they are both awesome:

But if you're thinking about picking one up, there can only be one winner, and given these two excellent phone cost about the same, we need to dive into the details to know how they compare. The Pixel packs AI smarts and a clean interface plus playful styling while the Poco packs power, premium materials and super-fast charging. I though the Pixel 8a camera would win out in every respect, and I also thought I'd prefer its styling. Hopefully by the end of the comparison, you have a better idea of which phone is right for you.

I hadn't looked at Poco for a while, they used to be so competitive against OnePlus. I didn't realise they'd upped their game!

i like pixel tensor n titan m2 secure

[@grey7045]

Which one do you think is better for long time use? I've been using mi 10t pro for about 2,5 years and then the fast charging gone and the charging watt decreased drastically until 0,5w and then dies. I went to service center and they said that it needs to be reballed, after getting reballed my fast charging only turned on for only like 4 hours and then it back went charging for only 7,4,15w and sometimes 30w too (very fluctuative) but only charging 10w oftenly, im also getting random reboot as same as before getting reballed. I'm looking to buy poco f6 but still afraid that it's build quality especially on the PCB board is still bad

Oh man. This is the problem with being a tech reviewer - myself and other tech reviewers - we only use phones for a week to test them. I've had better long-term experience with Pocos than I have with Pixels. The Tensor chip in Pixels is a modified Exynos chip, and over time, I've experienced overheating, battery degredation and slowdown with the Pixel 6 and 7 Series. Future Pixels should be better (based on TSMC, not Exynos), but I haven't had those experiences with high-end Xiaomi phones, though I do know of reports of some Poco phones like the X6 Pro having issues. Based on my experience, the Poco F6 Pro will give you better value if you're already used to a Xiaomi phone. But it might be worth waiting to see some long-term reviews if you're concerned. Hope that helps! Basil

​​​​@@tech_editi hate exynos 😂 thanks for telling me that tensor is just modified exynos. I might going to consider buying other phone like onplus 12, poco f6, mi 14 or maybe realme gt6 which is still on my budget

[@rolins3279]

​@@grey7045Buy the OnePlus 12 or 11, otherwise for me the S23 Plus is one of if not the best choice at its current price, especially if you don't have a problem with 2nd hand smartphones.

[@grey7045]

@@rolins3279 have u ever been with that phone? How's the quality? I mean the overall quality not only at the exterior but the inside hardware aswell, i've seen some people reporting bout camera gap issue but atleast it's not that bad as the issues that appears on Mi14 Ultra where's the camera lens inside easily Fogs up

[@dopethings9328]

Do pixel 8 pro vs f6 pro!!

[@tech_edit]

I won't have time to make this video, but the Pixel 8 Pro's camera wins out here, but I prefer gaming on the F6 Pro. Hope that helps! Basil
