Poco F6 Deadpool Edition is effectively priced at ₹29,999 and comes with the same hardware features as the standard variant, while bringing some major design changes inspired by the Deadpool and Wolverine fandom.
Poco recently introduced its first special edition smartphone in India, the Poco F6 Deadpool Edition. While the hardware remains the same as the standard Poco F6, which was launched in May with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, a 50MP + 8MP camera setup, and a 5,000 mAh battery, Poco has made several design tweaks aimed at enticing buyers to pay a bit more for this unique variant.
Unboxing Experience:
If you’ve grown weary of the routine unboxing experiences offered by most major smartphones, the Poco F6 Deadpool Edition brings a refreshing twist. The large, vibrant yellow and black box immediately catches the eye, featuring striking Deadpool and Wolverine avatars prominently on the front, with the Poco logo at the top left and the movie branding at the bottom left.
Upon opening the box, you’ll find the Poco F6 securely placed at the center, with accessories thoughtfully arranged in two themed boxes inspired by Deadpool and Wolverine, which can be easily pulled out from the sides. The Deadpool box on the left contains the quick start guide, SIM ejector tool, and a back case, while the Wolverine box on the right holds the 120W adapter and USB cable.
What’s Different with the Poco F6 Deadpool Edition:
The Poco F6 Deadpool Edition boasts a completely revamped design compared to the original model. The phone now features a striking dark red shimmery finish that changes shades depending on the light. The subtle Deadpool branding starts above the circular camera cutouts and extends downward. The phone’s back prominently displays Deadpool and Wolverine avatars, followed by the Marvel Studios logo and official movie branding. Even the flash ring has a Deadpool headshot printed on it.
The accessories have also been given a makeover. The special edition Poco F6 includes Deadpool branding on both sides of the 120W power adapter, and even the SIM ejector tool has been redesigned with a cute Deadpool theme, which adds a fun, unique touch.
While the back design of the Poco F6 Deadpool Edition is striking, the overall design of the phone remains unchanged. It retains its slim profile, measuring 7.8mm thick and weighing around 180 grams, making it easy to hold. However, the phone’s boxy feel and flat edges can become slightly uncomfortable to hold for long periods without the back cover. Unfortunately, the included back cover is the same gray silicone case as the standard edition. Poco claims this was a deliberate design choice to highlight the Deadpool headshot.
Should You Buy the Poco F6 Deadpool Edition at ₹29,999?
The Poco F6 Deadpool Edition is priced at ₹33,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant, but with bank offers, it can be effectively purchased for ₹29,999. In comparison, the standard version with the same specifications is listed at ₹31,999, while the top-end 512GB variant is also available for ₹33,999.
For an additional ₹2,000, you get a unique unboxing experience, a customized back design, and themed accessories like the charger and SIM ejector tool. However, Poco misses the mark by not including special software features such as Deadpool and Wolverine-themed wallpapers and themes, and the standard gray back cover feels like a missed opportunity.
In conclusion, the Poco F6 Deadpool Edition is ideal for Marvel and Deadpool fans who are willing to pay a bit extra for a stylish device and exclusive themed accessories.
