The Poco M4 Pro 5G has been doing rounds on the internet for a while now but it’s today that it perhaps has reached closer than ever to an actual release. The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has now certified the device, hinting at an imminent launch and providing a tiny bit more about what to expect.
The Poco M4 Pro 5G, just like its name implies, comes with support for 5G NR connectivity along with every other connection protocol one can need including GSM, WCDMA, LTE, 5GHZ Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GNSS, and FM (via: Simranpal Singh). The FM has been specified as using the earphones as an antenna, thus confirming headphone jack support. This isn’t surprising though considering budget models are yet to give up on the standard.
The support for 5G seems to be a concern here as only two 5G bands have been mentioned – N77 and N78. However, these two alone should guarantee 5G when it goes live considering India has earmarked 3300-3600 MHz bands for 5G. FYI, N77 and N78 bands operate within the 3200-4200 MHz frequency range.
Apart from connectivity, the FCC certification reveals the possible storage variants to expect with the device. These are two with the base variant featuring 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage while the more premium variant features a 6GB+128GB config.
Unfortunately, the FCC certification doesn’t provide a glimpse into what the phone would look like, which is thus still under wraps for now.
Already known specifications of the Poco M4 Pro include 33W fast charging support and a Mediatek chipset. The phone is also expected to simply be another rebrand, just like its predecessor Poco M3 Pro 5G. It is expected to launch by early November.
