The Poco F6, which launched in India final month, was the primary cellphone within the nation to come back with the Snapdragon 8s Gen Three SoC. Other than being a strong chipset, it additionally allows some AI options. Whereas we did point out these options in our full evaluate, we weren’t in a position to absolutely check them as a few of them did not work as meant. Now, after having tried most of them, this is what we consider the AI options obtainable on the Poco F6.
We’ll begin with probably the most usable AI options after which transfer on to ones that are not there but.
AI Eraser Professional
It is the age of AI, and AI-powered picture modifying instruments are all of the rave proper now. Most cellphone producers already provide these options or are engaged on them. With the Poco F6, you get the AI Eraser Professional. Because the title of the device suggests, you need to use it to erase issues from a photograph. To entry the device, head over to the Gallery app, open a picture, choose Edit, and faucet Create.
When you choose the Erase device, you may get choices to Take away objects, strains, folks, and shadows on meals. There’s additionally a Guide mode that you need to use to take away any objects from a photograph.
The AI Eraser function can do a superb job with a number of tries
We discovered that the Eraser device, whereas it does work effectively, wants some additional tries to get issues proper. It could actually take away objects, cables, and folks effectively, however the generative fill isn’t excellent. Generally, issues do get bizarre and as an alternative of eradicating the item, the function can substitute it with one thing else. The eraser can be utilized with an web connection, however utilizing the Eraser Professional (situated on the high proper nook) requires an extra obtain and an lively web connection.
AI Picture Enlargement
The Poco F6 additionally provides a function known as AI picture growth that can be utilized to broaden pictures. To entry this device, you may have to open the Gallery app, open the picture you’d wish to broaden, choose Edit, and faucet on Crop. You may discover the AI growth choice over right here.
This function works effectively at occasions
We used this device on a few pictures and located it to be alright. Within the above screenshot, you possibly can see that the device did broaden the picture and added the lacking a part of the automotive. Nevertheless, the AI fill is flawed. At occasions, the fill additionally had nothing to do with the picture. This device additionally would not require an web connection.

AI Gesture management
You should utilize your Poco F6 with gestures due to AI Gesture management, but it surely’s not all rosy. The function is at present supported solely on the built-in Music app and Netflix. We tried it out, and it takes some getting used to. As soon as enabled within the Settings app below Contactless Gestures, you possibly can wave vertically together with your hand to regulate quantity, wave horizontally to regulate playback or swap between songs, double faucet in air to play/pause content material and draw a circle to reply or finish calls.
The gesture controls solely work in two apps for now
All of those choices labored, however not effectively. Your hand must be at a sure distance for this to work, and generally it simply would not register the gestures. Nevertheless, the thought is good. Poco did say that it’ll add assist for extra apps within the coming months. We’ll see how issues have improved then.
