Poco M4 Pro and Poco X4 Pro 5G launched in India: Price, features

Poco has launched the M4 Pro and X4 Pro 5G alongside its global debut during MWC (Mobile World Congress) Barcelona 2022. Poco M4 Pro and Poco X4 Pro 5G launched in India: Price, features. The Poco M4 Pro is powered by MediaTek Helio G96 processor with up to 8GB of RAM along with Turbo RAM capability extending the device RAM up to 11GB, 6.43-inch AMOLED display, 64MP led AI triple camera setup along with a 5,000mAh battery.

Poco X4 Pro 5G For this generation the top X-series mid-ranger switches over to an AMOLED display the Poco X4 Pro 5G has a 6.67” panel with 1,080 x 2,400 px resolution (20:9). Like last year’s X3 Pro, this one has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, however, the touch sampling rate has been improved to 360 Hz (up from 240 Hz). It’s brighter to boot, up to 700 nits (up from 450 nits) typical brightness and 1,200 nits peak.

One thing that isn’t a straight upgrade is the protection, the new phone uses Gorilla Glass 5 (instead of GG6). In fact, this phone isn’t a direct upgrade from the X3 Pro. This one focuses on screen, camera and battery, while other components like the chipset are deprioritized the X4 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 695. This 6 nm chip is a sequel to the SD 690 with 15% higher CPU performance (thanks to two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.2 GHz + 6x A55 at 1.8 GHz) and 30% higher GPU performance (Adreno 619).

It’s an efficient chip, but it is no match for the Snapdragon 860 that powered the X3 Pro, especially the GPU. Anyway, there are two configurations available 6/128 GB and 8/256 GB. This is a dual-SIM phone with a hybrid slot, meaning you can add a microSD card if you don’t need a second phone line. Virtual RAM is available on MIUI 13, giving 2 GB more to the 6 GB model and 3 GB more to the 8 GB one.

There is sub-6 5G connectivity, along with a 3.5 mm headphone jack (with Hi-Res Audio certification), Bluetooth 5.1, an IR blaster and NFC. The camera on the new model makes a notable improvement with a large 108 MP 1/1.56” sensor in the main. That’s quite a change from the 48 MP 1/2.0” sensor on last year’s model. It is better-suited for low light shooting with 9-in-1 binning it that gives it an effective pixel 2.1 µm in size (lens aperture is f/1.9).

The battery is different too. It is still fairly large at 5,000 mAh (though that’s 160 mAh less) and now charges at double the power 67W (up from 33W) with the included adapter. A fully charged battery is enough for 15 hours of video playback. Once depleted, the charger can get it back up to 70% in around 20 minutes, full 100% charge is reached in 41 minutes (the X3 Pro needed 59 minutes).
