POCO X4 Pro 5G
The POCO X4 Pro 5G is a rebranded Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G sold in global markets. It has the exact same specs, except for a redesigned rear panel.
The smartphone sports a 6.67-inch centered punch-hole AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 395 PPI, and up to 120Hz refresh rate. The DCI-P3 color gamut-supported screen has a 4,500,000:1 contrast ratio and can reach a peak brightness level of 1,200 nits.
The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, which is a downgrade from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 present inside the POCO X3 Pro. The new phone also comes with slower UFS 2.2 storage instead of UFS 3.1 but the RAM remains the same LPDDR4x.
For photography and videography, the handset uses a triple camera system on the rear consisting of a 108MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro snapper. Whereas, on the front, it sports a 16MP shooter for selfies and video calls.
The connectivity options on the smartphone include dual SIM, 5G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC (market dependent), GNSS, and USB Type-C. Other features include dual stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Hi-Res Audio certification, IP53 rating for splash resistance, liquid cooling technology, a hybrid MicroSD card slot, a z-axis linear vibration motor, an IR blaster, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
The device boots MIUI 13 for POCO based on Android 11. Finally, it is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging.
