After teasing for a few days, POCO has finally launched the POCO M4 Pro 5G in India today as scheduled. This smartphone was initially announced in November for multiple international markets. It is basically a rebranded Redmi Note 11 5G (aka Redmi Note 11T 5G). The handset differs from the original by featuring a tweaked design and sporting different colors.

POCO M4 Pro 5G Specifications and Features

The phone is built around a 6.5-inch display (LCD) with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+) and a 90Hz refresh rate. The centered-punch hole panel supports up to 240Hz touch sampling rate and DCI-P3 color gamut.

The device is powered by a MediaTek Dimesnity 810 SoC paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. It boots MIUI 12.5 for POCO operating system based on Android 11.

It houses a dual-camera setup on the rear consisting of a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-unit. On the front, it has a 16MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

As far as connectivity is concerned, the handset offers support for dual SIM card slots, 5G (7 bands), dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, and USB Type-C port.

It also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack, dual stereo speakers, Hi-Res Audio certification, an x-axis linear vibration motor, a MicroSD card slot, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. There’s also a presence of useful sensors, such as an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, compass, and IR blaster.

The IP53-certified smartphone gets its juice from a 5,000mAh battery, which has support for 33W fast charging. Last but not least, the POCO-branded phone measures 163.56 x 75.78 x 8.75mm in dimensions, weighs 195g, and arrives in three colors (Power Black, POCO Yellow, Cool Blue).

UPDATE:

POCO M4 Pro is finally official. Read more about the device from our launch story here.

[Original Story] POCO may have announced its independence from Xiaomi but continues to largely be nothing more than a sub-brand. As such, its offerings are typically rebranded Xiaomi/Redmi phones running the same software, albeit with some minor tweaks. The upcoming POCO M4 Pro 5G is another of such phones, and we have listed all there’s to know about it ahead of its November 9 launch.

Design & Display

The POCO M4 Pro 5G quite obviously uses the same body as the freshly-launched Redmi Note 11. There are a couple of minor changes to show that it’s a unique model though. Its camera module has been seemingly extended to cover the entire width of the phone for a more stylized appearance. The extension features a large POCO branding. Enthusiasts will easily note that the back resembles last year’s POCO M3.

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 phone has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel that delivers an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate.

Cameras on the POCO M4 Pro 5G

The rear camera module on the POCO M4 Pro 5G looks like it houses more cameras than it actually does. There is a separate opening just for the AI logo alone that may look like another camera from a distance. In reality, the phone has a dual-camera setup – a 50MP primary shooter and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens. The camera on the front has a 16-megapixel resolution.

Other Specifications

The POCO M4 Pro 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset – a recent launch built using the 6nm process. The phone packs a large 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. The storage will likely be UFS 2.2.

Apart from this, the device will likely be coming with the same feature list as the Redmi Note 11.

Software

MIUI 13 is yet to make its debut and Android 12 is still undergoing testing for eligible Xiaomi and Poco phones. Thus, it is most likely that the POCO M4 Pro will be coming with Android 11-based MIUI 12.5.

Variants, Price, & Release Date

The FCC listing for the POCO M4 Pro had revealed that it will be coming in three RAM and storage options, namely 4GB+128GB, 6GB+128GB, and 8GB+128GB. The color variants will include grey and yellow options.

There is no word on the pricing but it will likely cost similar to the Redmi Note 11 (~$187). A release date of November 9 has been announced officially.
