Poco X4 Pro 5G review

the Poco X4 Pro 5G may not be the Poco(phone) you are looking for. We could in a real sense hear these words in our head verbally expressed in Obi-Wan Kenobi's voice as we plunked down to gather our thoughts about the X4 Pro.

What's more, without a doubt, assuming that you came looking for a proper Poco X3 Pro continuation, you will not be getting it. In the event that you are watching out for a reasonable mid-range telephone, a refreshed Poco X3 NFC, maybe, then you've come to the right spot.

We can't and won't conceal the real essence of the Poco X4 Pro 5G - it's a repackaged rendition of the global Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G with a redesigned back board. Here's the means by which these two think about.

This isn't the first and won't be the last time Poco has done this, so it's not surprising. Yet, the Poco X4 Pro 5G design truly sticks out, to the surprise of no one

This mid-range SoC offers good central processor execution and 5G availability, though.

The camera is your standard tri-eye arrangement with a high-res 108MP essential, a 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP full scale shooter. There is no profundity sensor instead of other Redmi Note 11 models and the past Poco X3 telephones.

The Poco X4 Pro offers sound system speakers, and a wide range of fan-most loved elements, for example, FM radio, a 3.5mm jack, a microSD expansion, and, surprisingly, an IR port. You can likewise charge its large 5,000mAh battery inconceivably quick with the packaged 67W charger

The Poco X4 Pro 5G runs on MIUI 13 for Poco, which is based on Android 11. We were a bit surprised to find the latest MIUI without the latest Android OS, but this is also not a first for Xiaomi, and we are sure the update will arrive soon enough.

So, let's scroll through the Redmi, sorry, Poco X4 Pro 5G specs now.

Assuming we are to contrast the €250 Poco X3 Pro with the €300 Poco X4 Pro, we can't however consider this rather unreasonable. The entire economy has changed, and the world is as yet reshaping as you read this. Along these lines, indeed, the Poco X4 Pro isn't a telephone with flagship speed at a bargain cost; it couldn't do 4K recordings.

However, it looks promising as being one of the new generations of telephones that will before long substitute the old bang for the buck bargains as their stock will before long run out. Also, we can see that this Poco actually has a similar soul by trying to pack each conceivable present day technology, 5G included, and offer it at a unimaginably low cost in 2022 terms.
Unboxing the Poco X4 Pro 5G

The Poco X4 Pro's retail box contains a 67W Xiaomi charger and a 6A-evaluated link. This is a similar charger you get with most new Xiaomi telephones these days.

The group likewise incorporates a delicate straightforward case and a dainty protective film for the presentation. Ordinarily, Xiaomi's cell phones have that film applied in the manufacturing plant, yet this seems like one more expense cutting choice presented for the new gadgets. We really do see the value in this extra, yet given how challenging it tends to be to apply these things, we can't yet consider the industrial facility application the better decision

The Poco X4 Pro 5G is effectively distinguishable from the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G because of its interestingly designed back board, the camera island explicitly. We in all actuality do appreciate the contracted Poco logo - it was very large on the Poco X3 series.
The Poco X4 Pro acquires its shape from the Redmi Note 11 telephones - it has a level glass front, a level glass back, and a grippy plastic edge with a matte completion. Gorilla Glass 5 handles the screen protection, however we have no data on the creator/brand of the back glass.

The Poco X4 Pro is IP53-evaluated for residue and sprinkle protection, which is valued, and we could see rubber protection across significant parts. Obviously, these are both essential protections - meaning the telephone is neither residue , nor water-tight and ought not be submerged into anything. It ought to do fine in light downpour, and that's really the long and short of it.
Poco X4 Pro 5G audit
We have the Laser Dark variant, which is unquestionably good-looking for its effortlessness. Obviously, this is Poco, and you will get an extraordinary impact on the back, but unobtrusive, when a few light becomes an integral factor, and its appearance begins shooting different extreme beams across the back board.

You can likewise get the Poco X4 Pro in Laster Blue and Poco Yellow. The two variations resemble strong tones with glossy completion, however when they mirror light, the reflection likewise imitates lasers.

Also, with all the said, we should investigate the Poco X4 Pro very close.

The 6.67-inch show size has become like the gold norm for the Redmi Note Pro models. Thus, it's not surprising the Poco X4 Pro uses the equivalent 6.67" Super AMOLED screen as the Redmi Note 11 Pro, Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, and probably anything Redmi Note Pro Xiaomi launches this year. However, we don't truly intend that as analysis, running against the norm - this OLED board has ended up being inconceivably good up to this point, and the Poco X4 Pro screen likewise has all the earmarks of being of a similar high quality.

The board has little hole revolved around the top - this is where you'd find the 16MP selfie camera.

Or more the screen, concealed inside the slim top bezels, is this dainty grille, which conceals the earpiece.
All things considered, the Poco X4 Pro accompanies sound system speakers, and you'd track down two specked grilles on its top and base sides. In any case, since the top speaker additionally serves as an earpiece, you clearly get three sound outlets when you count the front one
Good news - the result is fairly directional, and when you are in a call - the voice is coming generally from the forward portion. When playing music though, the sound is coming from each of the three spots.

And keeping in mind that we are talking about the sides, the top additionally houses the 3.5mm jack, the IR blaster, and a receiver
In the interim, the lower part of the Poco X4 Pro contains the USB-C port, the essential receiver, and the half breed SIM/microSD plate, together with the subsequent speaker. The ejectable card plate has noticeably good rubber protection
The left side has no controls. The volume and the power/lock keys are on the right.

The power key's surface consolidates the fingerprint scanner - it's consistently on and blazing-quick. The precision is brilliant, as well. You can set its trigger activity to be either a touch or a press.
The level casing is made of thick plastic, has a matching tone to the back, however accompanies a matte completion that helps for an alright grip.

The back is very gleaming, however positively. It contains a monstrous jutting-out camera island with the 108MP essential encompassed by a thick ring, as well as the flush 8MP ultrawide and 2MP large scale cameras. A single Drove streak is additionally near.
The camera glass is gigantic, yet we like it better than on the Redmi Note 11 Pro. Because of this shape - the Poco X4 Pro doesn't wobble when utilized on a work area, and its back board is less prone to scratches.

What's more, assuming you look actually cautiously, you may observe that the camera glass really has two unique shades that make for two unobtrusive strips - one keeps the essential camera intact with the Poco logo, and the last one has everything else.
Along these lines, the Poco X4 Pro estimates 164.2 x 76.1 x 8.1 mm and weighs 205 grams - that is a similar size as the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, yet 3 grams heavier, probably because of the larger camera island..
We delighted in how the Poco X4 Pro 5G handles. It's a telephone of a strong form, with secure enough grip because of its casing and a cool yet upscale back board that keeps its good looks in any event, when it's smudged with fingerprints everywhere. The essential sprinkle opposition is additionally an inward feeling of harmony we like to have with the more reasonable cell phones.

For sure, we loved the Poco X4 Pro, and we figure a great many people will be content with its shape, size and design.
