Poco X4 Pro 5G review

25 March 2022


Sort by:

We all appreciate negative comment.
But try to add some more arguments..... Like for example, old CPU, old bla bla.... Its not old as f****k, maybe it's a year over date compared to other release this year.....

And in this case, for the price you pay, it's the right value!!!!!
It works really well, doesn't feel cheap, function very smooth.... I had a Huawei mate 8, from 2017. Compared to this android 7 phone.... It flies hypersonic.. multiple apps without waiting a moment. But buy the 8gb ram, 6gb will work well too because I have all the time more then 3gig over.

        The Poco X4 Pro is a downgrade over the Poco X3 Pro. For example:
        1. The screen protector of the X3 Pro is Gorilla Corning Glass 6, but the X4 Pro uses Gorilla Corning Glass 5.
        2. The X3 Pro runs Android 12 by default, but the X4 Pro runs Android 11.
        3. The quality of the X4 Pro's selfie camera (20 MP) is 4 megapixels less than the one used by the X3 Pro.
        4. The X3 Pro uses a 5160mAh battery, but the X4 Pro uses a 5000mAh one.
        5. The X3 Pro uses the Snapdragon 860 chipset, but the X4 Pro uses the Snapdragon 695.

          The chipset situation is incredibly intriguing.
          The CPU throttling app reports 198k GIPS, while my Kirin 980 gets 160k in normal mode and 180k on Performance mode.

          But on the GPU test, the SD695 scores incredibly low, far lower than I expected. It got 1,200 on 3D Mark, where the Kirin gets 2,550. (Neither throttled)

          The mid rangers are catching up. But all that CPU power will be held back by the GPU.

            AliExpress is currently have a sale on this phone that has it for super cheap. For the sale price, it's so worth it. Regular price meh.

                I have already use phone of Xiaomi company phone and getting a bed experience please don,t purchase this company phone i already lase bear after sales service is very poor.

                  But this review stills fails to address the most importamt factor in day to day use. GSMarena only cares for cameras in the past years.
                  This is a telephone, ppl use mobiles to make calls. Hello? No word for the signal and call quality anymore, like it's irrelevant and most importantly, again the missed the bane of all Pocos, the bugs with the proximity sensor during calls.
                  Reviews like that ought to warn us about so extremely important features of mobiles.

                      What a strange naming decision when this phone is closer in spirit to the X3 NFC than it is with the X3 Pro. A true X4 Pro would have something like a Snapdragon 778G which matches closely with the 860 in performance.

                                While my F3 hasn't exactly been all unicorns and rainbows, I'll still be as sticking to it for the time being by the looks of it.

                                Quite surprised how little progress has been made since last year.

                                      Is there a noticeable difference between a 1440 compared a 1080 panel in terms of gaming? I'm planning to upgrade my phone and I'm thinking about getting a 1440 x 3200 pixels phone but I cannot decide since they said that it consume more battery.

Everyone is complimenting the design which seems to be agreed upon is the only real upgrade, as well as materials and construction. What are you on about.
