The BN5Q battery is a lithium-ion type, which is widely used in modern smartphones for its efficiency, lightweight, and capacity. In the POCO M6 5G, this battery supports the phone’s 5G network, ensuring sufficient power for high-speed internet usage, gaming, video streaming, and other intensive tasks.
Performance at 30% State of Charge (SOC)
The SOC represents the remaining charge in the battery as a percentage of its full capacity. At 30% SOC, the BN5Q battery still has a significant amount of power left for moderate use. Here’s what can be expected when the battery reaches this level:
- Battery Life:
- With 30% SOC, the phone can typically last for a few more hours, depending on the usage.
- For lighter tasks such as texting, browsing social media, or making phone calls, the phone could last for 2-3 hours at 30% SOC.
- However, more intensive tasks like gaming, video streaming, or using 5G data can drain the battery quickly, potentially reducing usage time to 30-45 minutes.

2 Power Consumption:
If the user activates the Battery Saver mode, it could prolong battery life further by limiting certain functions like 5G connectivity or background app refresh.
At 30% SOC, the phone’s battery management system may start applying power-saving measures. The screen brightness may automatically dim, and background apps may be limited to extend the battery life.
Phone Features:
- 5G Connectivity: Running 5G on a 30% battery can lead to faster depletion since 5G technology requires more power than 4G. If you are connected to a 5G network, switching to 4G or Wi-Fi might help conserve energy.
- Screen Usage: The POCO M6 5G’s high refresh rate display, if running at maximum (e.g., 90Hz or 120Hz), will also consume more power. Reducing the screen refresh rate or lowering the brightness can help manage power better at 30% SOC.
- Background Apps: Apps running in the background (especially heavy apps like social media or video services) continue to consume power. Ensuring that unnecessary apps are closed can help sustain battery life.
Indian Version of POCO M6 5G
The Indian version of the POCO M6 5G may come with specific regional optimizations, such as network band adjustments to suit Indian telecom infrastructure, localized content, or language support for Indian users. However, the hardware, including the battery (BN5Q), remains the same.
Charging and Maintenance
At 30% SOC, the battery is nearing the point where charging is advisable, though lithium-ion batteries do not necessarily need to be drained completely before charging. Modern devices, including the POCO M6 5G, perform optimally when the battery is kept between 20% and 80% SOC. Charging the phone when the battery reaches 30% will prevent it from dropping too low, which could extend the overall battery lifespan in the long run.
Conclusion
The BN5Q battery at 30% SOC in the POCO M6 5G is capable of handling light to moderate tasks for a limited period. Battery life can be prolonged by enabling power-saving features, reducing screen brightness, and switching from 5G to 4G. For users in India, the Indian version of the phone offers seamless connectivity with local networks, but the fundamental battery performance remains consistent with the global version
