Poco has launched its latest smartphone under the “M” series named the Poco M4 Pro 5G & as the name suggests, this is the successor to the Poco M3 Pro 5G, which launched in May this year with the Dimensity 700 SOC. That phone was a rebrand of Redmi Note 10 5G, and this new one is a rebrand of the Redmi Note 11 5G. In typical Poco fashion, the only difference between the Note 11 5G & the M4 Pro 5G is the back design & the colors. Everything else remains the same.
Design-wise, there is a two-tone look on the rear where the region around the camera module is painted black on all the color options & the Poco branding is also placed there. The only text outside that region is the “5G” branding on the bottom left corner. The fingerprint scanner sits on the right side & doubles as a power button. The SIM card slot is on the left side. The phone also gets a stereo speaker setup where the primary speaker is on the bottom, whereas the secondary speaker is on the top, not on the front. There is a USB Type-C port on the bottom, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone also gets an IR Blaster.
Speaking of the specs, Poco M4 Pro 5G has a 6.6-inch display on the front & it is an LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate & up to 240Hz touch-sampling rate. There is MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G SOC under the hood & this is a chip manufactured on the 6nm process. The phone has 4GB or 6GB LPDDR4X RAM paired with 64GB or 128GB UFS 2.2 storage. The storage is also expandable via a microSD card of up to 1TB.
Poco M4 Pro 5G has dual cameras on the back where the primary camera has a 50 Megapixel sensor whereas the secondary camera has an 8MP sensor & this one is for ultrawide shots. The rear camera can shoot FHD videos at up to 60fps. For selfies, you get a 16MP camera on the front.
And finally, Poco M4 Pro 5G has a 5,000mAh battery and supports 33W fast charging. Some other features include an X-axis linear motor, MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11, Bluetooth 5.1, and NFC.
In the global market, the pricing of this phone is as follows –
- 4GB + 64GB – €229
- 6GB + 128GB – €249
The phone will be available to buy starting November 11th & Poco is also offering an early bird discount of €30, which brings the price down to €199 & €229 respectively for the two variants. The color options are – Power Black, Cool Blue, and Poco Yellow.
