A STEP FORWARD IN DESIGN
Poco X4 Pro, at first glance, looks much better than its predecessor. If there was one aspect where the Poco X3 Pro didn’t shine, in fact, that was the design. Okay, the brand name on the back is still there, and clearly visible, but at least it does not cover a good part of the back cover, and is isolated in the imposing black photographic block, the true protagonist of the product’s aesthetics, the element that most determines its personality. And if the design immediately gives a greater impression of modernity, it is also thanks to the flat edges, in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 style.
The motto for Poco X4 Pro could be “the eye also wants its part”, since in addition to the design, the other major improvement over the previous generation is the screen. If there was an LCD on the X3 Pro, here is a AMOLED FHD + panel (2400×1080) from 6.67 in with DCI-P3 support, refresh rate a 120Hz and 360Hz touch sampling rate.
WHAT’S UNDER THE SHELL
But let’s move on to the substance: under the body there is the Snapdragon 695 5G SoC by Qualcomm joined by 6 or 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM (expandable via Dynamic Ram Expasion Technology to 8 and 11 GB respectively) and 128 or 256 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. The battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh and supports fast charging a 67W which allows you to go from 0 to 70% in 41 minutes.
The rear camera consists of a main sensor of 108 MPan ultra-wide one from 8 MP and finally one macro knows 2 MPwhile the selfie-cam hosted by a hole in the display is from 16 MP.
In terms of audio, the Poco X4 Pro offers a stereo experience thanks to two speakers and the 3.5mm jack for headphones is not missing. The connectivity package is complete with 5G, the possibility of using a second SIM (or alternatively a microSD to expand the internal memory). Finally, the fingerprint reader is located on the side of the device.
