The POCO M4 Pro 5G launched in multiple markets back in November 2021, and it is finally coming to India tomorrow (February 15). As the device is already available in other markets, we know quite a lot about its specs and what to expect from the upcoming launch.
Design & Display
The POCO M4 Pro has most of its features in common with the Redmi Note 11 which is known as the Redmi Note 11T in India. The device offers a similar design although with some minor tweaks. The back panel houses a rectangular-shaped camera module in the top left corner, however, the camera module has been extended to cover the entire width of the phone for a more stylized appearance. The extension features a large POCO branding.
The M4 Pro 5G’s top edge has a microphone, an IR blaster, and a speaker. Its bottom edge has another mic, a USB-C port, and a second speaker unit. As far as the front side is concerned, its display has a centrally placed punch-hole atop and is supported by a slightly thick chin at the bottom.
The device will likely measure 163.6 x 75.8 x 8.8 mm and weigh around 195 grams. The M4 Pro 5G is said to sport a 6.6-inch FHD+ display with a 240Hz touch sampling rate and a 90Hz refresh rate.
Cameras
For photography, the M4 Pro 5G will likely come with a 50-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL S5KJN1 sensor coupled with an f/1.8 lens and with PDAF support. The second camera on the rear is said to be an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera housing a Sony IMX355 sensor behind the f/2.2 lens offering a 119-degree field of view.
For selfies, a 16-megapixel OmniVision OV16A1 sensor will be provided with an f/2.5 aperture lens.
Performance
Improving upon its predecessor, The M4 Pro 5G will come with a MediaTek Dimensity 810 octa-core SoC under the hood. The chipset offers the Mali-G57 GPU and is built on the relatively new 6nm process. The POCO M4 Pro 5G is tipped to be offered in three RAM variants in India — 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB. It will have either 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage options.
The phone packs a large 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. Like the global variant, the smartphone is expected to boot the MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11 out of the box. It will feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and will also offer a 3.5mm audio jack.
Pricing and Availability
So far, there has been no word about the pricing of the POCO M4 Pro 5G, however, the handset is expected to be priced close to the Redmi Note 11T 5G which starts at around Rs. 17,000 for the 6GB + 64 GB model. The phone will be offered in colors like Power Black, Poco Yellow, and Cool Blue. The launch event is scheduled for 12 PM IST on February 15th, 2020, so stay tuned as we will be covering the release of the POCO M4 Pro 5G.
