Poco X4 Pro initial review: Mid-range powerhouse

On first look, the Poco X4 Pro seems to be a solid mid-range offering. With 120Hz display and a big, fast-charging battery, it should deliver a great experience for its price point.

120Hz refresh rate display; Large 5000mAh battery with fast-charging; Expandable storage and headphone port;

Runs Android 11 rather than 12; MIUI isn’t to everyone’s taste; Large camera housing will likely divide opinion;

Poco X4 Pro 5G review

The Poco X4 Pro is a comfortably mid-range smartphone with a premium design and high-end features, including a 6.67in 120Hz AMOLED display and 67W fast charging, to boot. MIUI 13 can take a bit of adjustment, and the lack of OS commitments is a bit of a disappointment compared to key rivals, but it remains a strong contender based on hardware.

Affordable; Stunning design; Flagship-level 6.67in 120Hz AMOLED display; Capable 108Mp camera;

Plastic body; MIUI 13 takes some getting used to; No OS upgrade commitments; Occasional lag;
