I ordered this last month and found that it stutters watching BT Sport on Virgin Media.

It also had a problem with one downloaded app in not being able to control the volume blasting out.

It is being returned to Xiaomi to exchange but from reading reports on the processor being weak I'm not hopeful that this will be resolved.

My X3 NFC has no problems but thought I would upgrade to 5g but is looking like I might have to look elsewhere if this isn't up to the task.

          And people then complaints why those trash are the same.

              I strongly advise people to NOT buy any phone with the Snapdragon 695!

              Buy a Poco F3 instead if you want a good budget phone.

              They're pretty cheap now and only a year old.

                        For 249e it would be good value. Not a single cent more.

                          But due supply constraints it was cancelled.

                            - Poco X4 Pro can't record on 4K. The X3 Pro can.
                            - Poco X4 Pro can't even record 1080p at 60 fps. The X3 Pro can do up to 240 fps.
                            - Poco X3 Pro has Gyro EIS. Poco X4 Pro does not.
                            - Poco X3 Pro has louder speakers. Poco X4 Pro has better speakers in terms of not being dissorted.

                                Once again, your camera review uses the expression "for its class" which means nothing. Only an absolute opinion is interesting for your readers. Why is this camera setting (HN2 2.1 mu) inferior to an IMX766 one, and can you show us.
                                Because you only get what you pay for. Then what's the point of having a review?
                                And why you praised this same setting in the RN10 pro just to call it now "acceptable for this class"?

The problem is the name of the phone is X4 Pro meaning it should succeed the X3 Pro but sadly most the X4 Pro is a downgrade compared to the X3 Pro.

                                    If only it had come with Android 12.

                                      But to be exactly... Poco means, a little bit........... Uno Poco this or that......

                                        Have the 8gb model, but 6 would work fine also....

                                        For this money, I think it's hard to find anything better. Coming from a Huawei mate 8 from 2017.
                                        If you don't want a pocket game phone, and like to use all you need anno 2022. Then it's perfect.
                                        I do daily online trading, and this works amazing flawlessly.
