To enable generative AI-backed photo editing features such as AI image expansion and AI Eraser Pro, one has to download an AI editor plug-in that is around 800 MB in size. Users can then access the generative AI features on the Poco F6 straight from the image editing tools available on the Gallery app.

While using these features for the first time, the phone requires an active internet connection. Once installed, they can be used to modify a photo even when the device is not connected to the internet. However, to use the Pro editing features, the device does require an active internet connection.

Unlike some of the generative AI-powered photo editing tools that I have used recently on smartphones, the tools available on the Poco F6 offer a lot more flexibility. One can remove objects, shadows, people and even a line in a photo to make it look more aesthetic.

Similarly, one can also extend an image using generative AI. But this feature requires an active internet connection. Depending on the image, it could take a few seconds to complete the task.

There are also other features like AI Bokeh and the company has also confirmed adding a new AI Gesture Control gesture, which allows users to control the smartphone without touching the screen, especially during tasks like streaming movies or watching videos.

Right now, the AI features on the Poco F6 are limited to photo editing. In the coming days, the company might introduce productivity-centric AI features similar to those found on high-end smartphones.
