As someone that got the X6 Pro a pair of years ago - great to see them fixing two of my biggest gripes, namely them using a non-Snapdragon chipset, and the battery being so small.

You're comparing X6 pro with today's X8 in the RAM and storage inflation era. It's not going to be a valid comparison.
