Poco X4 Pro and Poco M4 Pro 4G: Xiaomi wants to extinguish the entry-level and mid-range competition – Frandroid

At MWC 2022, Xiaomi unveils the new Poco X4 Pro 5G and Poco M4 Pro 4G. True to their predecessors, these smartphones aim for high performance in terms of their moderate prices.

Xiaomi continues its rapid start for the beginning of the year 2022. After the launch of the Redmi Note 11, 11S, 11 Pro and 11 Pro 5G, the Chinese brand continues with two new smartphones, this time under another range: the Poco X4 Pro and Poco M4 Pro 4G are here. They have just been formalized on the occasion of the MWC.

The main thing to remember is that the Poco X4 Pro looks a lot like the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. The Poco M4 Pro (4G), on the other hand, is above all to be considered as a variation of the Poco M4 Pro 5G released in 2021. On both smartphones, you will each time be entitled to a very large rectangular photo module displaying the mention “POCO” very conspicuously.

As a reminder, the Poco range has always sought to offer beefy performance for an attractive price. With this launch, Xiaomi does not seem to want to leave any room for its entry-level and mid-range competitors. Realize: there are a total of six smartphones from the brand (4 Redmi, 2 Poco) in these price segments and we are just about to start the month of March.

Features of the Poco X4 Pro

Here’s what to remember from the technical sheet of the Poco X4 Pro:

• 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, Full HD+ and 120 Hz (Gorilla Glass 5);
• Snapdragon 695;
• 6 or 8 GB of RAM;
• 128 or 256 GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable up to 1 TB);
• triple photo module on the back:
  • 108 megapixel main sensor (f/1.9);
  • 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle (f/2.2, 118 degrees);
