Poco X4 Pro 5G: When Poco entered the scene, the brand did so with a mission of delivering flagship-grade performance at jaw-dropping prices.
With the Poco X4 Pro 5G, the brand is taking that ethos a step further — delivering on good design, excellent display and performance without compromising too far on the price front.
With this mix of capability, 5G capability and style, the X4 Pro 5G ticks a lot of the right boxes for users who don’t want to spend a fortune. But in 2025, will it be the best value in its class? Let’s dive in.
Design: High-end Look, Gaudy Feel Profile 31mm.
First impressions of the Poco X4 Pro 5G are that it’s quite the statement of intent. It’s certainly eye-catching, with a glossy back panel adorned with a big camera module and an attention-grabbing reflective finish.
It comes in colors such as Laser Black, Laser Blue and Poco Yellow, and this phone has a flair that feels anything but budget.
Even with the glass back, this is manageable at about 205g, and the phone’s finished with IP53 water resistance, so you’ll get some splash and dust protection — a nice touch at this price.
Display: A True Highlight
The Poco X4 Pro 5G stands out thanks to its 6.67 inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling. This results in everything from scrolling to playing games feeling ultra-smooth.
Colors are rich, blacks are inky, and it remains highly visible in sunlight, thanks to peak brightness of 1200 nits. Whether you’re streaming a series or scrolling Instagram, this display is something special.
Perfomance: Dependable for Your Common Internet Users.
The Poco X4 Pro 5G is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of storage that can be expanded using a microSD card. It breezes through everyday tasks — multitasking, switching between apps and even some midlevel gaming is smooth.
Title : PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Word Edit : Games like PUBG Mobile and CAll of Duty works great at Medium to High.
The chipset is not powerful enough to be worthy of a flagship, but it is a very efficient, well balanced SoC for a midrange – and it also helps that it’s been optimized in favour of battery life. It’s fine for casual users and most who are even semi-powered.
Battery & Charging: Lasts All Day + Quick Top-Offs
Poco didn’t cut corners here. The phone is backed by a 5000mAh battery, it can last a day, and sometimes a bit more depending on usage. Streaming, surfing and gaming — it’s got it covered without wielding the charger by bedtime.
And when you do have to juice up, the 67W fast charging support is a godsend. You can go from 0 to 100% in just over 45 minutes, which is amazing at this price.
Camera: Good, but Don’t Expect a Photo Beast
It’s the 108MP main camera that’s the headline act on paper and, in daylight, it delivers sharp, detailed images. Dynamic range is decent, and colors are natural. There’s also an 8MP ultra-wide and a 2MP macro, which are okay — nothing to write home about.
It’s not the strongest in low light, even with night mode. Also doing a decent job is the 16MP selfie camera, which captures natural skin tones and passable sharpness in your video calls and social media use.
Software: MIUI wrapped with a Poco Touch
The X4 Pro 5G is powered by MIUI 13 for Poco based on Android 11 (upgradeable). Though MIUI is extremely feature-rich, it’s also stuffed with a lot of bloatware. The interface is good overall, but you might want to take a little time to turn off or delete unwanted apps.
