Poco F4 in for review

23 June 2022
It brings a more capable main camera and faster charging, but is that enough?

Aan2007, 24 Jun 2022so small camera improvement with OIS over F3, but that'... moreWe do not know yet. If they actually managed to get the temps down from the F3, that might be another improvement. The speaker arrangement is different as well, and it now supports lossless codecs. Let's wait for the final review. I wished they hadn't cancelled the Poco F4 Pro, though.

    Ngl the F4 compared to the F3 is just underwhelming, it's not bad just underwhelming.

      Anonymous, 24 Jun 2022Hey guys from GSM Arena, You are not bad as reviewers, but ... moreEach reviewer has their own style and focus. Using your logic you, one can also say JerryRigsEverything were lazy as he doesn't do review of the user experience, quality of camera, etc. You should judge reviewer by their focus. Gsmarena, MKBHD, etc are good at what they focus on. Jerry, ifixit, etc also good at what they're doing. So it always back to what you need.

              so small camera improvement with OIS over F3, but that's it, hardly an upgrade if you don't care about camera you can just buy very cheap F3, everything else is same

                  Hey guys from GSM Arena, You are not bad as reviewers, but you are also lazy. A proper review should specify the origin of different parts, like screen, cameras, etc and also open the phone and analyze the quality. Then you would be just perfect. Take example from Jerryrig everything.

                      Why do you care if it's from 2019 or 2022?! I urge you to use something else beside a fork because is few hundred years old design!

                        Shadocx, 23 Jun 2022Just because the SD 888 and 8 Gen 1 overheat in Genshin Imp... moreI use Mi 11. 888 and 8.1 are both a pain in an a.. regarding heat and battery life.

                          1) its not flagship killer as its comes with old chipset.
                          2) its not an upgrade or a premium service if u lose support of 3.5 audio jack + sc card slot.

                          when i mention premium phone, it should have everything included and not just upgrade on screen or camera or chipset.....

                              In launch event, there was no mention of 3 years android updates, it is not mentioned on their website as well. Can anyone confirm if Poco is really going to give 3 major android updates to F4? I doubt that, otherwise it would have been mentioned somewhere.

                                The only con I see with this is that the FP is on the side and not under display

                                  Anonymous, 23 Jun 2022overpriced and outdated snapdragon 870 in June 2022. if it ... morewithin the price range... i still choose sd 870 over any sd888 or 8 gen1

                                  i dont won't a toaster in my hand

                                  but i keep my eyes on dimensity 8100, this soc has potential

                                    It has minor improvements over the F3 but the biggest problem is the price. The Poco F3 can be had for around 250 or even less if you get lucky. At that price, it's roughly half the cost of the F4 lol

                                      Antycc, 23 Jun 2022Better stay clear of the F series. I purchased 2x F3 and th... moreI faced the same issue as you on my unit and the display has dead pixel..... Worse purchasing decision I make, only the processor was useful. Poco or Xiaomi can't be trusted with quality control

                                        Doesn't really seem to be an improvement over the F3 which I paid 200 pounds for in the 8/256 varient,it's wise to use the Snapdragon 870 again as it's a solid performance chip without compromise,the screen seems the same to,the charging is slightly faster but the 33 watt charging was fast enough anyhow,so basically it all comes down to the speakers and cameras and if it's an omnivision main camera then it's a no go area as they usually poor performers compared to sony cameras.Now what Poco should have done for the f4 was increase the battery size to 5000 and made the speakers a bit louder and add a single Sony 64mp camera with iOS for the back without the other two crap cameras,one camera is just fine if it's a decent camera.The screen on the F3 is excellent but I would have loved a bigger screen like say 7.2 inches with 20.9 ratio I have find memory's of my mi max 3,imagine a mi max Poco edition with a 7.2 amoled screen,Snapdragon 870.8gig of ram,256gb storage.single Sony lens rear cam,terrific stereo speakers,side mounted fingerprint sensor and a 6000 battery what a power house media machine.
