As scheduled, POCO has officially launched the POCO X4 Pro 5G in India today. The successor of POCO X3 Pro initially went official at MWC 2022 a few weeks back. It is basically a tweaked Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G (aka Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G), and therefore, it differs from its predecessor in almost every aspect.

POCO X4 Pro 5G Specifications and Features

The POCO X4 Pro 5G is the same as the variant sold in other international markets, except for two differences. The Indian version lacks NFC and features a 64MP primary camera instead of a 108MP sensor.

The device flaunts a 6.67-inch centered punch-hole AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+) and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel has support for 395 PPI, DCI-P3 color gamut, 4,500,000:1 contrast ratio, and 1,200 nits peak brightness level.

The handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset coupled with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. For comparison, the POCO X3 Pro houses a much more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 SoC and a faster UFS 3.1 storage module.

Talking about photography and videography, the phone’s 64MP main camera is paired with an 8MP ultra-wide unit and a 2MP macro snapper. On the front, there’s a 16MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

The connectivity options on the smartphone include dual-SIM card slots, 5G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, and GNSS. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, a MicroSD card slot (hybrid), dual stereo speakers, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. 

The device boots MIUI 13 for POCO based on Android 11. It also has additional features, such as an IR blaster, a z-axis linear vibration motor, Hi-Res Audio certification, liquid cooling technology, and IP53 rating for splash resistance.

Last but not least, the POCO X4 Pro 5G is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging.

The post POCO X4 Pro 5G launched in India with a different main camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

The POCO X4 Pro 5G made its global debut at the Mobile World Congress 2022. We listed it as one of the best smartphones at the trade show. Weeks after its announcement, the handset has been now confirmed to release in India next week.

The POCO X4 Pro 5G will be launching in India on March 28. The virtual event will be live-streamed on the brand’s official YouTube channel from 12 PM IST. We also expect live tweets from the company’s official Twitter account.

As far as the device is concerned, we know everything about it since it is not only already official but also on sale in multiple regions for weeks. In some markets, it also comes with a free YouTube Premium subscription. We are not sure if this offer will be available in India.

But we are somewhat certain that the phone will lack NFC in the country. Further, going by the image tweeted by the brand, the handset will arrive with a 64MP main camera instead of a 108MP sensor like the original model.

The POCO X4 Pro 5G is a rebranded Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G with a tweaked design and a cheaper price tag. Hence, it has the exact same set of features.

The smartphone comes with a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, liquid cooling technology, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, 108MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera system, 16MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, IP53 rating, MIUI 13 based on Android 11, 5,000mAh battery, and 67W fast charging.

As the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (Remi Note 11 Pro 5G) starts at ₹20,999 in India, the POCO X4 Pro 5G will likely cost ₹19,999 or lower.
