  • Xiaomi HyperOS Experience.
  • Three years of OS upgrades.
  • Four years of security updates.

Software and User Interface

The Poco F6 Pro runs on HyperOS, built on top of Android 14. As usual, Xiaomi keep it clean without too much bloat (Ads) that you can also disable manually.

The software user interface provides a seamless and intuitive experience, offering users a wide range of customizable features and smooth performance. It boasts a user-friendly interface that is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. We experienced fast and smooth navigation, easily switch between apps, multitask, and perform tasks without any lag or slowdown. This is especially useful for users who need their device for work, gaming, or media.

This F6 Pro software offers a wide range of productivity tools, including a file manager, a note-taking app, and productivity widgets. These tools are specifically designed to make your daily tasks simpler and more efficient. In addition, the device comes equipped with a comprehensive security package, which includes features such as app lock, privacy protection, and regular security updates.

Bundled software and games

Loaded with a diverse range of pre-installed applications such as Netflix, Spotify, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Spotify, Fitbit, LinkedIn including a fantastic array of games, which can be easily uninstalled if not needed. While these applications can undoubtedly be advantageous for certain users, it’s crucial to acknowledge that they may take up substantial storage space and impact the overall performance of the device, so most of them can be removed.

Storage space: How much space is available?

In this review, we thoroughly analyzed the 16 GB RAM / 1TB variant. Upon examining the device’s system information, we discovered intriguing insights: approximately 388 MB has been allocated for apps, while an impressive 17.16 GB has been used for system files. This leaves users with a generous 0.9TB of available space.


Memory usage: How much RAM is available?

Xiaomi has made great progress in optimizing HyperOS, but it still consumes a significant amount of system resources. As a result, users are left with only about 52% of the initial 16GB RAM, which is approximately ~8.1 GB.


New features of HyperOS?

For those unfamiliar with HyperOS, it is an Android-based operating system that aims to revolutionize the way you use your devices. By connecting Xiaomi’s ecosystem of smartphones, smart home devices, and automobiles, it creates a unified experience. With innovative design and features, HyperOS harnesses the power of the Android platform, delivering a seamless and captivating user experience.

Xiaomi has recently introduced HyperOS, a revolutionary operating system that forms the backbone of its “Human x Car x Home” smart ecosystem. This seamlessly integrates all of Xiaomi’s diversified operating systems, creating a dynamic and intelligent environment.

While the groundbreaking features of HyperOS are yet to be fully unveiled, we eagerly anticipate the possibilities that will emerge as Xiaomi continues to develop their EV. Imagine a future where you can effortlessly unlock your car doors with a simple gesture on your Xiaomi Watch 3 or other wearable devices. This fusion of technology is undoubtedly on the horizon, and we expect to happen in the near future.

What is the playback resolution for Netflix?

Users will be delighted to learn that both the Poco F6 Pro and the likely basic model come equipped with Widevine Level 1 certification, offering support for Full HD (1080P) playback on Netflix.

This means that viewers can enjoy their favorite shows and movies in high definition, enhancing their overall streaming experience. Additionally, the device’s performance ensures smooth playback without buffering interruptions.

The screenshot below demonstrates that the Netflix app offers a maximum playback quality of Full HD. It also features HDR10 including Dolby Vision support, significantly enhancing the overall picture quality.

Accessibility Statement

Compliance status

We believe the internet should be open and accessible to everyone, and we’re dedicated to making our website usable for the widest audience possible, no matter their circumstances or abilities.

To achieve this, we follow the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level as closely as possible. These guidelines outline how to make web content accessible for people with a variety of disabilities. By complying with them, we help ensure our website is usable by everyone, including those who are blind, have motor or visual impairments, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website uses a range of technologies to stay accessible at all times. An accessibility interface lets people with specific disabilities customize the site’s UI and design to fit their personal needs.

The website also uses an AI-powered application that works in the background to constantly enhance its accessibility. This app fixes the site’s HTML, adjusts its features and behavior for screen readers used by blind users, and optimizes keyboard functions for people with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

  1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

    These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

  2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

  • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
  • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
  • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
  • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

  1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
  2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
  3. Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
  4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
  5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
  6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
  7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]
