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.

What’s Changed in the Indian model of POCO X4 Pro 5G?

The POCO X4 Pro 5G was recently launched in the global markets with 108MP camera cameras. However, in the Indian market, the phone will have a 64MP camera. Other units remain the same. The smartphone will have a 64MP main + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro triple camera array. On the front, it will have a 16MP selfie shooter.

This camera change could have been done to meet the competition in the Indian market. Since many phones in the budget segment are having similar specs as the upcoming POCO X4 Pro 5G.

Display and Chipset

Coming to the display, the smartphone will feature a 6.67-inch punch-hole display with Full-HD+ resolution. It will be an AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the phone will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 octa-core SoC paired with 6GB/8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. It is expected to come with a microSD card slot for storage expandability.

Price in India

Now that the specs are known, the only major thing left to learn is the pricing. For those unaware, the POCO X4 Pro 5G’s specs resemble the recently launched Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G. That being said, we can expect the phone to cost under Rs. 20,000 (~$261), given that the Note 11 Pro+ 5G starts at Rs. 20,999 (~$274).
