Poco recently launched the F6 in the Indian market at a price tag of Rs 30,000. The new smartphone sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with other bits including an IP64 build, 120Hz AMOLED display, Android 14, a 5,000 mAh battery with 90W fast charging, a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS, and stereo speakers. The 8GB RAM and 256GB base variant carried a price tag of Rs 29,999, while the top-spec 12GB/512GB model costs Rs 33,999. For those looking for other options in this segment, here are some of the top  Poco F6 alternatives.

Poco F6 Top Alternatives

Realme GT 6T

In terms of pricing, Poco clearly undercuts Realme. The Realme GT 6T incorporates better hardware which includes Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3. Ultimately, it will all come down to personal preference, as both phones have their own advantages.

The Realme GT 6T, for example, does not have an IP rating, while the Poco F6 is IP64-rated. But overall, the Realme GT 6T offers excellent value for money: it has a better design, a notable display, fast and smooth performance, and good battery life. The Realme GT 6T is available in 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB options for Rs 30,999, Rs 32,999, Rs 35,999 and Rs 39,999 respectively.

Like the Realme GT 6T, it costs a little more than the Poco F6, but this “OnePlus 12R killer” smartphone offers Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Qualcomm’s flagship processor from last year. It also boasts a 6,043mm2 vapour chamber cooling system and a Q1 “supercomputing” chip to achieve 144fps interpolation in gaming (the maximum the iQOO Neo 9 Pro’s display can support).

The screen is also quite powerful, which is a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED with a 3000 nitslocal peak brightness. In terms of optics, the iQOO Neo 9 Pro uses the Vivo X100’s 50-megapixel Sony IMX920 main lens with premium features like 4K night video and moonscape. 

OnePlus Nord 3

The OnePlus Nord 3 is not as powerful or as feature-rich, but it has all the important features as well as the “OnePlus” Branding, which is a major selling point. 

Currently, the OnePlus Nord 3 is offered with only a single variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, which carries a price tag of Rs 33,999. The smartphone boasts MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000, a 120Hz AMOLED display, and a 5,000mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging.

The Moto Edge 50 Pro is available in 8GB/256GB and 12GB/256GB options priced at Rs 30,999 and Rs 34,999, respectively.

It comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 processor, same available on the Realme GT 6T,  IP68 water and dust resistance, a 144Hz pOLED display, fast wired (125W) and wireless (50W) charging. It runs on Motorola’s Android 14-based new Hello UI software.
