The Poco F4 is one of the best flagship killer smartphones released in 2022. Before its launch, there were leaks about a Pro model.
The so-called Poco F4 Pro was later revealed to be canceled. Now, months later, this unreleased smartphone appears in a video.
A Malaysia-based Xiaomi reseller called Xiaomi Kluang Technology showcased (via Xiaomiui) the canceled Poco F4 Pro in a Facebook live stream in late September. The video confirms what the initial leaks about this device stated earlier this year.
The Poco F4 Pro is indeed a rebranded Redmi K50 Pro. If it had gone official, it would have become the first Poco-branded smartphone with a QHD+ display.
The reason behind the product’s cancellation is a mystery. However, it is worth noting that the brand was undoubtedly testing it for global markets.
The phone in the video boots the last known internal MIUI Global build (V13.0.0.18.SLKMIXM). Xiaomi stopped releasing internal MIUI builds for this handset two months ahead of the launch of Poco F4.
If the Poco F4 Pro had been released, it would have offered features like a 6.67-inch QHD+ (3200 x 1440 pixels) 120Hz OLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 108MP primary camera, 20MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 5,000mAh battery, and 120W fast wired charging support.
