82.5% Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G smartphone review: 5G phone with 108 MP & 120 Hz OLED at a bargain price | Notebookcheck
The Poco X4 Pro 5G comes with a lot of hardware highlights for an RRP of around US$ 300. On top of 5G support, the successor to the Poco X3 Pro gets various improvements, including a very bright AMOLED display with 120 Hz. However, the X4 Pro does not make everything better ...
80% Poco X4 Pro 5G Review: Does It Have the ‘X’ Factor?
Source: NDTV Gadgets English
The Poco X4 Pro 5G offers an attractive design along with a bunch of other features at a starting price of Rs. 16,999. Considering it's very similar to the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ which costs more, the Poco ends up being better value. The X4 Pro 5G gets a few things right such as its AMOLED display, which is a delight to watch content on. Paired with stereo speakers, this phone can be a good pick for people who love binge-watching. Battery life and fast charging are also positives. The Snapdragon 695 5G SoC is a very capable processor, but it has limitations when it comes to gaming and video recording. MIUI on this phone could also use an update or two. If good camera performance and high-end gaming are priorities for you, I would suggest looking at the Realme 9 5G Speed Edition which costs just a bit more. Other options such as the Vivo T1 and OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite are also worth considering.

POCO X4 Pro 5G Review: Almost Perfect Budget 5G Phone
Source: Igeekphone English
There is nothing to hide, the POCO X4 Pro 5G is a huge improvement over the previous generation. The manufacturer has made a lot of valid upgrades, both in terms of components and the design itself. Therefore, its purchase is worth considering. Design aside (this is an individual matter), the POCO X4 Pro 5G has a lot to offer. The 120Hz refresh AMOLED display is bright, vivid, and very smooth, with one of the smallest camera cutouts making it almost perfect. Almost, because there is no HDR support, as well as adaptive refreshing. A strong touch is of course the 108MP camera, offering impressive detail and color reproduction in a well-lit environment, although the lack of OIS means night photography can be enhanced. The ultra-wide angle is handy. The main components of the POCO X4 Pro 5G are mid-range, which is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The smartphone works smoothly, although compared to its predecessor, it is slightly worse in terms of CPU and GPU performance.

Poco X4 Pro Reviews: A Budget Phone With Budget Features In A Nice Package
Source: Know Your Mobile English
With a starting price of just $299, you could do worse than the Poco X4 Pro. The standouts of the device are its display and relatively upmarket design. However, there are drawbacks to this lower-end Android. For starters its OS is based on Android 11–and there’s no guarantee you’ll get upgrades to newer Android OSes. That means you could already be stuck with older software. While the 108MP lens on the rear camera is particularly large, the other two lenses are rather paltry–and many reviewers say you can see the results in your photos. But the Poco X4 Pro does include some things many budget Android phones lack–such as 5G, a side fingerprint reader, and NFC.

Source: Android Guys English
Given the $330 price tag for the 6GB/128GB model, I’m more than happy to recommend the phone for consumers. It’s all of the things that I need in a device and I suspect all your typical user might need, too. It just happens to be priced lower than the competition. In a time when the Pixel line looks to have completely removed the headphone jack, I’m happy to see it’s present here. I also like the inclusion of NFC, an IR blaster, and the fingerprint reader in the side-mounted power button. Coupled with a fully customizable UI experience, the POCO X4 Pro 5G feels like something a little different, and dare I say, welcome. I wish the camera system were a bit better but I’m willing to admit that I’m being a tad critical. The average user may take no issue with what’s at play. Also, given that the phone is an unlocked global handset, the 5G support may not be true to what you’re currently getting from the US carriers. If you’re content with 4G LTE, or spend most of your time on Wi-Fi, you should be good to go.

90% POCO X4 Pro 5G review: not a flagship killer anymore
Source: Root Nation English
The Poco X4 Pro 5G is a nice smartphone that comes with balanced specs. Very very beautiful (the back panel in the light simply shimmers with ‘laser’ beams), protected from water splashes, stands out with a bright AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a 5000 mAh battery is more than enough for the whole day, and 67 W charging is very fast, just in case. The quality of shooting and performance, although not outstanding, are acceptable for the price category. Prices from 299 euros can also be called acceptable. Let’s round up: Poco X4 Pro 5G is Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G in a different case. Its advantage is the lower price. It’s not as powerful a Poco as we’ve been used to, but worth considering if you’re looking for a great display, good battery life, and good speakers. But if you are interested in power and gaming, as well as outstanding cameras, you definitely need to look for something else, there are many competitors.

Poco X4 Pro 5G Review – Is it Worth the hype?
Source: Manila Shaker English
Overall, the Poco X4 Pro 5G is a huge upgrade if you are trying to buy a mid-range smartphone. Both in terms of features and design, this device is a bang for the buck. For the price of Php 17,990 for the 8GB plus 256GB variant, it is surely worth the hype and a worthy upgrade. It does give impressive camera quality, along with other premium features, but what’s really noteworthy is the display itself. A high-tier display setup is available on an affordable mid-range smartphone.

POCO X4 PRO
Source: GSM Choice English
So do I recommend this smartphone? At a price of PLN 1499 or PLN 1699 (and I would suggest the more expensive variant with 256 GB of memory and 8 GB RAM), it has a lot of competition. Against its background, it stands out with a cool design and a very good display. We will also be satisfied with the performance and stability, a great fingerprint reader, a good battery with a fast charger included, as well as a rich equipment - there is a minijack socket and a microSD slot, there is even a radio and an infrared transmitter. There are also two speakers, and they sound quite loud... too loud. If you value the privacy of your phone calls, POCO X4 Pro will not be for you. If that's okay with you, it might be a good buy... unless you need to an above-average camera. Night photos are simply poor, and movies can only be recorded in Full HD, which in 2022 is rather below average. In a budget building, I would still suffer from it, but the lack of 4K in a phone for a wheel and a half seems to be a significant shortcoming.

Source: Htxt Africa English
At R6 999, you will truly struggle to find a mid-range 5G phone that packs this much punch, with the device performing on par with phones that are easily twice as expensive. The phrase value for money gets bandied about a lot, by yours truly especially, but in this case it holds true for the latest offering from POCO. While the brand is a relative newcomer looking to build its reputation, phones like this will certainly help in that department. If you are willing to take a chance on a lesser known brand locally and are in the market for a savvy 5G Android phone, the POCO X4 Pro 5G comes highly recommended.

Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
Whether it’s the attractive design of the Xiaomi Poco X4 smartphone, the powerful processor, or the bigger battery, the smartphone manages to hit just the right notes and is perfect for most users. Even if you leave the main attractions of the phone, it still provides an excellent value for the money and an excellent package. Not to mention, the phone has an IP53 rating to safeguard against those accidental splashes of water. Based on the internal specifications of the phone, the price of the smartphone seems totally justified unless we talk about the 4K video recordings or reverse charging support. This device can be a good choice however the final decision is up to you. In case you are looking for an alternative option then check out the Xiaomi Redmi K40S smartphone which comes with an amazing display, the latest Android OS, and a fast chipset processing speed.

80% Poco X4 Pro 5G review: the sort-of sequel
Source: Stuff TV English
Given the name, we were expecting the X4 Pro to be a true sequel to the great-value X3 Pro. Instead, Poco’s latest effort is more like a 5G update to the more entry-level Poco X3 NFC. Performance is largely on par, camera quality is just as mixed across the different lenses, and it’s a 2022 phone arriving without the latest version of Android. Oh, and its essentially a Redmi handset with the logos swapped over. If you’re on a budget, there’s still plenty to like, especially that tasty display. The design is pretty slick for an affordable handset, too. But entry-level smartphones aren’t immune from cost-of-living increases. With the X4 Pro’s price creeping up compared to last year’s model, there are alternatives that aren’t quite as fresh but cost a fair bit less if you don’t need 5G.

90% Poco X4 Pro 5G Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
Bearing in mind the eminently reasonable price tag on this phone, it’s very hard to find much fault with it. The main camera performs very well, the screen is great, the battery lasts long (and can be topped up with speedy fast-charging too), and these elements are all individually difficult to find for this amount of money, let alone all in one phone. Of course, this device isn’t perfect; I’m not a fan of the loud design, the software is a bit clunky, and the secondary camera sensors aren’t great. But I’d judge these imperfections to be fairly easy to overlook given the otherwise brilliant performance of the Poco X4 Pro, even when you compare it to good-value rivals like the OnePlus Nord N10 5G and the Realme 8 Pro.

POCO X4 Pro 5G Review – Best Mid-Ranger Under 20,000

The Poco X4 Pro 5G has a nice combination of performance, display, and battery life. The Poco X4 5G is a good option for those searching for a budget-friendly all-arounder smartphone with these features. As an added treat, you’ll receive a 67W fast charger inside the box. Potential power users who were looking forward to this phone because of its gaming capabilities like the previous generations of POCO phones could be a little disappointed. Nonetheless, the device is very appealing, takes excellent images in any lighting situation, and gives a fantastic visual experience. The icing on the cake is the price tag. Poco has set a reasonable price for the phone. The X4 Pro 5G is a solid choice for those in the market who are looking for a versatile smartphone at an affordable price.

The Poco X4 Pro 5G is a huge upgrade over its predecessor both in terms of features and design, with this year’s model coming in a svelte premium package that wouldn’t look out of place on a flagship smartphone – albeit probably with the use of glass in place of the plastic body of the X4 Pro 5G. Still, it’s not all about looks, and the X4 Pro 5G has a lot to offer. The 120Hz AMOLED display is bright, vibrant and buttery-smooth, with one of the smallest camera cutouts we’ve seen to date. While the refresh rate isn’t adaptive like premium alternatives, it can still comfortably last more than a day with what we’d describe as average use, with the possibility of squeezing more out of the phone with a 60Hz refresh rate and more conservative use. Even when it does need a top-up, the 67W fast charging tech gets you untethered from the wall within 40 minutes, and unlike even premium rivals, you’ll get the 67W charger in the box. The 108Mp camera is a real treat too, offering impressive detail and colour representation in well-lit environments, although the lack of OIS means night photography could be improved.

80% Poco X4 Pro 5G review: Is there a point?
Source: Laptop Mag English
It may be the Redmi Note 11 Pro in new clothing, and an obvious sign that there’s not much room for budget indie upstarts in a world of corporate takeovers, but in the Poco X4 Pro 5G’s case, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Once again, the 108MP camera is a decent snapper, the AMOLED display is gorgeous, the battery life is impressive, and to get all this at a budget price tag is warmly welcomed at a time when we’re all penny-pinching. With this, you are getting the standard budget phone traits: slower internals, a dull camera system outside the main sensor, and Android 11 with no firm commitment to updates. But if these are acceptable compromises to you, this is a great cheap phone.

80% Poco X4 Pro review: Super value for money, but does it beat the X3 Pro?
Source: The Indian Express English
But it does appear underwhelming when compared to last year’s Poco X3 Pro, which offered a bang-for-buck performance under Rs 20,000. Yes, the newer device that excels in many other areas, including 5G support, but considering there’s still no usable 5G around in the country, this might not be the ideal upgrade for X3 Pro users. While the X4 Pro is a great value-for-money phone, it joins the race to compete against other sub-Rs 20,000 devices. Somewhere, it loses out on the uniqueness of the X-series, which made phones like the X3 Pro an easy recommendation for power users. Still that said, if you’re looking for a good phone under 20,000 that packs a great design and ticks most of the checkboxes of an all-round phone, the Poco X4 Pro is perhaps among your best choices right now.

The Poco X4 Pro 5G is another very good affordable phone from the Xiaomi sub-brand.

Battery life is strong, and charging speeds are very impressive courtesy of a 67W wired charger included in the box.

The Poco X4 Pro is available at Rs 18,999 for the 6 GB/ 64 GB variant, Rs 19,999 for 6 GB/ 128 GB and Rs 21,999 for 8 GB/ 128 GB. There are no prizes for guessing who its biggest rivals are. Its starting price is the same as the Redmi Note 11 Pro (Rs 18,999) and its most expensive variant is slightly below the starting price of the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ (Rs 20,999). Most phones would have about as much chance of surviving in that zone as an ice cube in the fires of Hell. But the fact that the Poco X4 Pro not only takes on both Notes but even appears superior to them in some regards should give you an indication of just how good a device it is. It might not boast the 108-megapixel camera that both the Note 11 Pro devices have, but in most other regards (processor, battery, display), it is more than their equal and scores heavily in the design department. This is why we are going to stick our necks out and call the Poc X4 Pro the best phone you can get under Rs 20,000 – it has pretty much got everything you need and will stand out in a crowd as well.

Poco X4 Pro 5G First Impressions: This Looks Very Familiar

Poco offers the X4 Pro 5G starting with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage for Rs. 18,999. That's less than what the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G starts at, and that could work in its favour despite having half the storage. The 6GB RAM, 128GB storage variant costs Rs. 19,999 and there's also an 8GB, 128GB option for Rs. 21,999 in India. These are both Rs. 1,000 less expensive than their Redmi equivalents, which makes sense. Poco also offers discounts for some bank customers and exchange bonuses. Following its spinoff from Xiaomi, Poco was supposed to be an entirely separate brand focused on the youth market. We've seen situations like this before, and it still doesn't seem to make much sense. There are already multiple models and variants within the Redmi Note 11 family, many of which overlap in terms of pricing. It will be tough to wade through all the options to find what's right for you, and ultimately, it might just come down to which one you find better looking.

70% Poco X4 Pro 5G review: A good mid-range phone with some compromises

If you bought the Poco X3 Pro or have been following Poco's journey from the beginning, you shouldn't come here expecting something revolutionary. The Poco X4 Pro is a typical mid-range phone that tries to offer something in every department but, has a lot of shortcomings. The phone is huge, performance is nowhere close to the X3 Pro and you even miss out on features like 4K recording. I repeat, the X3 Pro from last year still feels like a better option, if you can look beyond 5G. If not, then the X4 Pro 5G will still give you an attractive splash-resistant design, excellent battery life, good camera performance, fast charging support and an impressive 120Hz OLED panel. Honestly, this combination is still rare at this price point. Now, the decision is yours to make.

The POCO X4 Pro is almost an all-rounder and it would have been my top pick in the under 20,000 categories if the chipset used would’ve been a little bit more powerful. Not to take anything away from the rest of the hardware, which is excellent, but POCO has always been known to offer the best performance for the price. Potential power users, who might eye this device for gaming needs based on previous generations of POCO phones, might feel a tad disappointed. However, the device does look great, shoots crisp photos regardless of lighting conditions and provides a stellar visual experience. If these are things that matter to you, the POCO X4 Pro is a solid choice.

79% Poco X4 Pro 5G review: An affordable large-screen 5G phone with good battery life but average cameras
Source: Zdnet.com English
The Poco X4 Pro 5G enters a crowded mid-market space and needs to work hard to stand out. While it has a large, high-quality AMOLED screen, a big battery and 67W fast charging, there are some significant drawbacks. It's a shame, for example, that users have to make a choice between MicroSD storage expansion and a second SIM. With only 95GB free out of the box, that external storage option might come in handy. More significant, perhaps, the proliferation of third-party software is rather overpowering, and the cameras are underwhelming. Video shooting capability and the macro camera are both particularly disappointing. There are many alternatives in this price range, including the new OnePlus Nord CE 2, which offers even better battery life than the Poco X4 Pro 5G.

But the disappointments are piling up right from the start. The Poco X4 Pro is not at all like the previous Poco X series Pro models, and we think this is one of the things that will make it tougher to sell as people will see it as a continuation to the Poco X3 Pro and not the NFC. Then its performance has not improved an inch since the X3 NFC, though it can now connect to 5G networks. Then there is the rather mediocre camera experience despite the 108MP primary sensor. Finally, we got MIUI 13, yes, but it's on top of Android 11 instead of Android 12 and that adds yet another question mark on top of everything else. The Poco X4 Pro 5G is a good smartphone - it has adequate specs sheet and attractive pricing for 2022, all things considered. But the 2021 mid-range models are widely available and more affordable, and it just doesn't make sense buying it right now, not until a price cut is introduced or its competitors - retired. But what we know is that this Poco X4 Pro makes more sense than many of the recently launched Redmi Note 11 phones models.

The Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro doesn’t feel like a Poco phone but is a sound buy if you’re looking for a strong screen, battery life and speakers, and can live with its limited gaming power and inconsistent camera.

80% Poco X4 Pro Review: Great mid-ranger with a few compromises
Source: Android Headlines English
The Poco X3 Pro was extremely easy to recommend in 2021. While the newer Poco X4 Pro has better hardware design language, a stellar AMOLED high refresh rate display, and 5G connectivity its price also jumps by $100. Arguably the newer version does have great battery life, ultra-fast 67W charging support, superb dual speakers, a headphone jack, loads of connectivity options, and a big spec bump to the main rear camera. So this year the Poco X4 Pro makes some interesting compromises – not every change is a clear-cut upgrade. My recommendation is that if you can snag one during the early bird pricing it is a great deal. But after the launch window ends, take a closer look at the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G because it is the same phone with more RAM and a fingerprint-resistant back for roughly the same price.

Hands on: Poco X4 Pro 5G Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
Poco describes the X4 Pro as being the “all-around ace”, and from our brief experience with the handset it’s quite difficult to disagree. The screen is excellent for the price, the main camera performance seems very promising, and the same goes for the performance and battery too. While the loud design may have its detractors and the secondary camera sensors may not pack the same punch as their.

70% POCO X4 Pro Review: A Good Screen But Not Much Else
Source: Slashgear English
When compared to its immediate predecessor, the POCO X4 Pro is undoubtedly a worthy upgrade. The switch to a large 120Hz AMOLED screen alone is worthy of praise. Its design is definitely noteworthy, though plastic might not sit well with some people. Its homage to classic features like a headphone jack and storage expansion is appreciated, as well. With a starting price of €299 (roughly $340) for the base 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model, that actually sounds like a steal. Unfortunately, the devil is in the details. The Snapdragon 695 5G, while okay, comes with some limitations that affect not just performance but also the camera. Those cameras are also good but don't stand out in any special way. And as users become more conscious of the software they're using, Xiaomi's lackluster track record is becoming more prominent. With a very crowded mid-range market, the POCO X4 Pro may no longer be able to distinguish itself with low prices alone, and it might find it a bit harder to pull in more customers until it figures out a new formula to use.

The Poco X4 Pro is a comfortably mid-range smartphone with a premium design and high-end features, including a 6.67in 120Hz AMOLED display and 67W fast charging, to boot. MIUI 13 can take a bit of adjustment, and the lack of OS commitments is a bit of a disappointment compared to key rivals, but it remains a strong contender based on hardware.

Comment

Model:

In terms of its design, it is worth noting that the overall design language of the Poco X series has changed, fairly dramatically. The chunky and thick bodies of the Poco X3 Pro and Poco X3 NFC has been replaced by a much slimmer but more severe frame. As a result, the Poco X4 Pro is much less of a palm-filler, making it much easier to handle than the Poco X3 Pro. Apart from that, while the X3’s outer shell is all-plastic, the X4 Pro has a flat, glass rear panel. However, the phone’s sides remain plastic, but the overall feel of the device is a net improvement. As for its display, this smartphone carries a largely excellent 6.67-inch AMOLED screen. It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi has already established very high standards among budget phones, using Full HD displays even in its fairly cheap models. However, despite all that being said, the screen here is better than the display of the Poco X3 phones. But, the 2400 x 1080 pixel resolution does not quite deliver the sharpness and smoothness of an ultra-high resolution screen though. In addition, this model carries a 120Hz refresh rate.

As far as its performance is concerned, this smartphone has been incorporated with the Qualcomm's Snapdragon 695 processor. Overall general performance is quite good, with a few expected, and unexpected, niggles. In terms of its camera, the Poco X4 Pro has been equipped with a 108-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 2-megapixel zoom with the last two being the typical fodder of upper entry-level phones. The wide lens is okay, but somewhat soft as a result of its limited sensor resolution. In addition, the sensor is also quite small which leads to limited dynamic range in trickier scenes. Apart from that, the macro is a filler camera and its 2-megapixel resolution is definitely incapable of capturing any image worth saving, even if it does let the user get quite close to the subject. Basically, the Poco X4 Pro’s camera rests on the 108-megapixel primary, which uses a Samsung HM2 sensor. This camera lens’s image quality is variable as the image processing which includes noise reduction is somewhat worse than some of Xiaomi’s previous efforts at this price and that also includes, not surprisingly, the Xiaomi 11T Pro. In addition, night shooting is not that terrible as it relies on a dedicated Night mode that genuinely improves dynamic range and reduces noise dramatically. It is also worth taking note that this model does not support 1080p video capture at 30 frames per second, mainly due to its processor. Overall, it is a great smartphone to be explored, depending on the need and preference of the user.
