Earlier today, POCO launched the POCO M4 Pro 5G in India. The phone’s launch confirmed the speculation that it is basically a rebranded Redmi Note 11 5G (aka Redmi Note 11T 5G). However, the launch event showcased a teaser for another upcoming POCO device which could be another rebranded Redmi smartphone.

The teaser was first spotted by xiaomiui, and leads us to believe that the teaser could be hinting at the upcoming POCO X4 which has recently been making rounds on various certification databases and has also appeared on Geekbench a couple of times.

The smartphone in the obscured teaser image has a design similar to the Redmi Note 11 Pro, which further leads us to believe that the device is the upcoming POCO X4 as recent Geekbench listings have revealed the X4 is essentially a rebranded Redmi Note 11 Pro.

The veiled camera bump also alludes that it could be the POCO F4 GT which is said to be a rebranded Redmi K50 Gaming Edition, however, unless the image is digitally modified to omit the high placed volume button and shoulder trigger, it is unlikely that the teased smartphone is the upcoming POCO F4 GT.

Coming back to the POCO X4, as the device is expected to be a rebranded Note 11 Pro with a few cosmetic changes, we can expect it to carry a 6.67-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display with Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The POCO X4 will be powered by the Snapdragon 695 SoC and will feature  6 GB / 8 GB of RAM. Storage options will likely range from 64GB to 128GB. It will come with a 5,000mAh battery that carries support for 67W fast charging. The X4 will run MIUI 13 out of the box and will feature a side-facing fingerprint scanner for security.

Coming to its photography capabilities, It will feature a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and a 108-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit.

It is too early to tell if the tested phone is indeed the POCO X4, so we suggest our readers take it with a pinch of salt.

POCO is expected to launch the POCO X4 5G very soon. The device is in the news for the last few days as it has been appearing on certifications and benchmark websites. Today, the handset has been spotted on Geekbench yet again with a different model number.

Earlier this month, the Indian variant of the POCO X4 5G with model number 2201116PI was benchmarked on Geekbench. Now, the Global version of the phone with model number 2201116PG has also made its appearance on the website of a popular benchmarking application.

According to these two listings, the smartphone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC paired with 6GB RAM. There could be other memory variants as well. As for software, it will boot Android 11.

The aforementioned model numbers are nearly identical to that of the model numbers of the international Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. Further, Geekbench mentions the motherboard of these devices as ‘veux’, which is actually the codename of the international Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G.

This means the upcoming POCO X4 5G will most likely be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. It may have a few changes in the design and we cannot rule out the possibility of some changes in the specs.

Neither POCO Global nor POCO India has scheduled a launch event for POCO X4 5G. The current latest handset from the brand is the POCO M4 Pro 5G. This one is heading to India tomorrow three months post its initial debut.

Brand POCO is reportedly gearing up to launch the POCO M4 Pro in India and some other markets. The upcoming M4 Pro will be a 4G model, but the company seems to be planning to launch the POCO X4, a 5G-ready handset, for the country. The reason behind it that is that the Indian variant of the POCO X4 5G has appeared at the Geekbench benchmarking site.

The Indian edition of the POCO X4 5G with model number 2201116PI has appeared at the Geekbench. The global edition of the phone with model number 2201116PG has been spotted at several certification platforms in \recent weeks.

Reports have claimed that the POCO X4 5G will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. However, it may come equipped with a unique rear design. The Note 11 Pro 5G has a 6.67-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display with Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It runs on MIUI 13 based Android 11.

The Snapdragon 695 mobile platform powers the device with 6 GB / 8 GB of RAM. The device is equipped with 64 GB / 128 GB of storage.

The NBTC has no information on the hardware specs of the POCO X4 5G. What makes the story confusing is that the same 2201116PG was seen with POCO X4 Pro 5G moniker at TDRA. There is a possibility that there could be some error with the TDRA listing. Past reports have revealed that the 220116PG is the model number of the Indian variant of the POCO X4 5G.

Reports have claimed that the POCO X4 5G will be a rebranded version of the global Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. As it has happened with previously released Redmi-POCO rebranded phones, the POCO X4 may arrive with a unique rear design as compared to the Redmi model.
