Poco F6 Deadpool Edition review: A look at everything that’s changed

[ad_1]

Poco recently launched its first-ever special edition smartphone in India, the Poco F6 Deadpool Edition. Hardware-wise, this is the same Poco F6 that launched back in May with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, 50MP + 8MP camera setup and 5,000 mAh battery but Poco has made a few design changes with this device that it is hoping will force the buyers to spend a few extra bucks. 

I got my hands on the Poco F6 Deadpool edition to check out everything that’s changed from the standard Poco F6 (review) variant that I tested earlier in the year.

Unboxing: 

If you have been disappointed with quick and relatively similar unboxing experience that almost all major smartphones offer, there is no need to look beyond the box of Poco F6 Deadpool edition. 

This is a big yellow and black coloured box with Deadpool and Wolverine logos printed prominently on the front with Poco logo on the top left corner and Deadpool and Wolverine Logo on the bottom left. Poco F6 sits right in the middle after opening both the flaps of the box and the accessories can be found tucked away under two separate Deadpool and Wolverine themed boxes underneath that can be pulled from the sides. The Deadpool box (left) contains the quick start guide, SIM ejector tool and the back case while the Wolverine box (right) holds the 120W adapter and the USB cable. 

What’s changed with Poco F6 Deadpool edition: 

Apart from the back design (which we’ll get to in just a minute), this special edition Poco F6 phone comes with Deadpool branding on both sides of the 120W power adapter, and even the SIM ejector tool has got a cute little Deadpool-themed makeover, which is a big plus in my books. 

Now on to the phone itself, the Poco F6 Deadpool Edition looks completely different from the original model. It comes with a shimmery finish in a dark red colour that tends to change shades when exposed to light. A subtle Deadpool branding starts right above the circular camera cutouts and goes downwards. Deadpool and Wolverine avatars are prominently placed on the middle of the phone, followed by the Marvel Studios logo and the official movie branding. The flash ring also sees Deadpool headshot printed over it. 

Apart from the back design, there are no absolutely no changes to design of the phone, it’s still relatively slim and easy to hold with a thickness of 7.8mm and a weight of around 180 grams. The phone still feels boxy and the flat edges to the back make it slightly uncomfortable to hold for long periods without the back cover. Talking about the back cover, it’s still same grey coloured silicone case that was bundled with the standard edition. This a major miss in my books, but Poco says it’s a design choice they made in order to let the Deadpool headshot stand out. 

Should you buy Poco F6 Deadpool edition at 29,999?  

Poco F6 Deadpool edition is priced at 33,999 for the sole 12GB RAM/256GB storage and with bank offers it can effectively bought for 29,999. For comparison, the standard version with the same configuration is listed for 31,999, while the top-end 512GB variant is also available for 33,999.

For the extra 2,000, you get a wholesome unboxing experience, customized back design, charger and even the SIM ejector. However, Poco does leave something to want for with no special software features like Deadpool & Wolverine styled wallpapers and themes and the plain old back cover.

In conclusion, I believe Poco F6 Deadpool Edition is a device catered towards Marvel and Deadpool fans who do not mind spending a little bit extra in order to get a better-looking device and some customized Deadpool-designed accessories.
