The Poco M6 Pro 5G features a 6.79-inch FHD+ screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and an impressive 240Hz touch sampling rate. This display is fortified with Gorilla Glass 3. At its heart, this phone runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset. Fresh out of the box, it operates on MIUI 14, based on Android 13, and commits to two significant OS upgrades along with a security update lifespan of three years.

On its back, this device is adorned with a dual-camera setup: a prominent 50-megapixel AI primary shooter accompanied by a 2-megapixel depth lens. On the front, an 8-megapixel selfie camera finds its home in a centrally located punch-hole cut-out.

Its power reservoir is a robust 5,000mAh battery, which supports 18W rapid charging through a USB Type-C interface. With IP53 certification, it assures protection from dust and minor splashes. Furthermore, securing the device is a breeze with its side-positioned fingerprint sensor.

Is Xiaomi Poco M6 Pro 5G Waterproof Smartphone?

Xiaomi is known for producing the best entry-level to the most enticing flagship smartphone. Xiaomi always came up with high-quality products and nailed the competition.

In India, every buyer currently demands an IP rating on their smartphone. However, Xiaomi provides no information about IP ratings in Poco M6 Pro 5G. Some sources leak that it has an IP rating, but the company doesn’t expose it. We have decided to arrange a water test for this device because of no positive official statement on IP rating. So, the obvious answer is that Poco M6 Pro 5G is not waterproof.

In our test, the smartphone has to go through different conditions, such as:

30 Seconds dipped in Water or accidental splashes.
5 Minutes dipped in Water.
10 Minutes dipped in Water.

The waterproof test results are purely based on individual/team observation. These tests will only give an idea of whether a device is waterproof. We recommend users not try this test at home, as it might damage their device.

Conclusion

After thoroughly testing the Poco M6 Pro 5G, we reached the final crucial outlook. As a result, shows the device is splashproof and somewhat withstands dustproof. So if you do not care about IP rating, you should use this smartphone. However, I must warn users that the device is not waterproof or splashproof. The device has no official IP67 or IP68 ratings, which strongly suggests that it is not waterproof. Furthermore, our tests failed because the device had no active water-resistant coating or other protective gear against liquid.
