Each model is distinguished by its aesthetics and design. The POCO F6 sports an extremely smooth back that is pleasant to the touch and resistant to fingerprints. Its photo sensors are installed on the upper part of the back, aligned vertically and integrated into two slightly prominent circles. Available in black, beige or green, it is built around a plastic frame and benefits from a relatively thin (7.8 mm) and light (179 g) profile. It is IP54 certified, providing limited protection against dust and splashes.
The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G, for its part, focuses on a refined design with photo sensors “placed” directly on the glass back, without artifice. The style is completed by slightly rounded profiles at the side buttons. More massive, it weighs 209 g for a thickness of 8.2 mm, making it the heaviest model in this selection. It is available in blue, dark blue, lilac and lime (yellow) and is distinguished by its IP67 certification, guaranteeing much better waterproofing than other models.
Finally, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G offers flat profiles and photo sensors grouped on a plate on the back, matching the main color of the smartphone. Available in black, purple and blue, it sits in the middle of this comparison with a weight of 187g and a thickness of 8mm. Like the POCO F6, it is IP54 certified, limiting its resistance to projections.
Thus, for those looking for a compact and lightweight device, the POCO F6 is essential, while the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G will appeal to fans of robustness and reinforced waterproofing.
Which is the most powerful and which is the best screen?
In terms of power, the three smartphones are distinguished by their processors. The POCO F6 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, a high-performance mid-range chip which, combined with 8 or 12 GB of RAM (virtually expandable), offers excellent fluidity. On the other hand, this model does not allow you to add a micro SD card, but offers generous storage capacities of 256 or 512 GB.
The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G features a Samsung Exynos 1380 processor, which is also efficient for everyday use. It has 8 GB of RAM (also expandable virtually from the device settings) and a storage capacity of 128 or 256 GB, with the possibility of inserting a micro SD card, an asset for those who want to increase their storage space.
Finally, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G is based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. Available with 8 or 12 GB of RAM, it also offers an internal storage capacity of 256 or 512 GB. Unlike the Galaxy A35, it does not support supports micro SD cards, thus limiting memory expansion options.
In terms of overall performance, the POCO F6 comes out on top thanks to its newer and powerful processor, followed by the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G ranks third, despite its storage flexibility.
On the screen side, all models offer an AMOLED panel, guaranteeing vivid colors and deep blacks. The POCO F6 and the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G have an identical diagonal of 6.67 inches and a definition of 1220 x 2712 pixels, offering sharper details than the Galaxy A35 5G, limited to a definition of 1080 x 2340 pixels on a 6.6-inch panel.
In terms of brightness, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G reaches an impressive peak of 1800 cd/m², surpassing the POCO F6 (2400 cd/m² only in specific conditions) and the Galaxy A35 5G, topping out at 1000 cd/m². All offer a 120Hz refresh rate for optimal smoothness, but the POCO F6 slightly outperforms with a 480Hz touch sampling rate, ideal for video games.
Thus, for display quality, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G stands out for its brightness and definition, closely followed by the POCO F6. The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G, although effective, remains behind on this point.
What configurations for photos and what connectivity?
The photography performance of the three models differs markedly, both in terms of the quality of the sensors and their versatility. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G stands out thanks to its optically stabilized 200-megapixel main sensor, offering exceptional precision and detail reproduction ideal for photo enthusiasts. This smartphone also includes an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 2-megapixel macro sensor, suitable for close-up shots. On the selfie side, it offers a 16 megapixel sensor.
The POCO F6, for its part, is based on an optically stabilized 50-megapixel main sensor (Sony IMX882), coupled with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor. It focuses on simplicity and quality, especially for night or moving scenes, while its 20-megapixel selfie sensor ensures well-defined self-portraits.
The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G, finally, has a 50-megapixel main sensor also optically stabilized, accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle and a 5-megapixel macro sensor. Its selfie sensor, with a resolution of 13 megapixels, is a little behind the other two models.
In terms of photo quality, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G comes out on top thanks to its high resolution and precise details. The POCO F6 follows, offering a balanced experience, while the Galaxy A35 5G is an interesting option for its versatility, although it lacks a bit of selfie definition.
In terms of connectivity, the three smartphones offer modern services. All are 5G compatible, have Wi-Fi 6 and NFC technology for contactless payments. Bluetooth varies slightly: version 5.4 for the POCO F6, 5.3 for the Galaxy A35 5G, and 5.2 for the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. Only the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G retains an audio jack, an asset for users preferring wired headphones. In addition, the POCO F6 and the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G integrate an infrared transmitter, allowing the smartphone to be used as a universal remote control.
Finally, the fingerprint readers are all placed under the screen, a practical and ergonomic solution. When it comes to overall connectivity, all three are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC compatible. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G stands out slightly thanks to its additional options, such as the jack and the infrared transmitter, which allows it to be transformed into a universal remote control.
What about autonomy and charging capabilities?
The battery capacities of these three models are generous, guaranteeing sufficient autonomy for daily use. The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G and POCO F6 each have a 5000 mAh battery, while the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G does slightly better with 5100 mAh, promising slightly better endurance, although this also depends on software optimization and uses.
For charging, the POCO F6 stands out with an impressive power of 90 watts, allowing a full charge in a very short time. In comparison, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G supports fast charging of 67 watts, which is still very satisfactory. The Galaxy A35 5G, on the other hand, is more modest, with charging power limited to 25 watts. None of the three smartphones offer wireless charging or reverse charging.
