With POCO X4 Pro 5G, we definitely set the industry standard for this segment, and with these prominent flagship-level features, we truly take the user experience to the next level.

POCO X4 Pro 5G
With its large 6.67-inch AMOLED DotDisplay screen, the POCO X4 Pro 5G not only catches the eye but also offers a smooth and immersive true-to-life visual experience thanks to a 120Hz refresh rate and DCI-P3 wide color gamut. This is the first time that POCO employs AMOLED for X-series.
This device also sports a 360Hz touch sampling rate translating to the smartphone responding to every movement in no time — every scroll, swipe, or drag on screen offers less lag. The AMOLED display features 2400 x 1080 FHD+ resolution that can automatically adjust its brightness to match its surroundings. In addition, this unit has an SGS Eye Care Certification making the POCO X4 Pro 5G’s screen is softer on its users’ eyes during long gaming sessions.
For its camera, the POCO X4 Pro 5G has a powerful 108MP sensor measuring a massive 1/1.52-inch — making it one of the world’s highest resolution sensors available and a first for a POCO. Paired with the sensor’s 9-in-1 binning technology, it captures more light for improved clarity, bringing out the most from every shot.
The smartphone’s camera array includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP micro camera on the rear, while a 16MP sensor sits on the front. This device is equipped with a range of camera features such as a panoramic selfie option to make sure everyone stays in the shot, no matter how big the gathering. It also offers slow motion, dual-video, time-lapse video, super macro, movie filters, and kaleidoscope to breathe life and a dash of excitement to any footage that’ll be sure to be attention-grabbing.
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 695 5G processor built on 6nm production technology, bringing flagship-level speed and efficiency. The octa-core CPU is headed up by two Arm Cortex-A78 performance cores that can reach speeds up to 2.2GHz. In addition to 8GB of RAM, POCO X4 Pro 5G offers an extra 3GB transformed from the 256GB of ROM thanks to Dynamic RAM Expansion Technology, making it ideal for lag-free mobile gaming and providing a smooth, 5G-ready user experience.
Packed with a whopping 5,000mAh battery, users can scroll, browse, and game all day and night with more than 15 hours of video playback, 25 hours of reading, 191 hours of music playing back to back. When the device finally is running low on juice, users can get back to the action in no time. Thanks to 67W turbocharging, POCO X4 Pro 5G can charge 70% in just 22 minutes — a mere coffee break — and can be fully charged in only 41 minutes.
In addition, the POCO X4 Pro 5G delivers an immersive entertainment experience by offering dual speakers for loud and clear stereo sound, and a Z-axis linear motor for stronger vibrations with crisper and more accurate feedback while gaming. The smartphone also supports the all-new MIUI 13, with new features and performance improvements to optimize the user experience.
POCO M4 Pro
If you are looking for an entertainment powerhouse device that combines unbeatable value for money, quality, and performance, the POCO M4 Pro is for you. Sporting a 6.43-inch screen that uses an AMOLED DotDisplay (a first in any POCO M series), coupled with a 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate, it offers high sensitivity to every interaction with the device.
The DCI-P3 wide gamut brings every color to life, and the display has a brightness rating of up to 1,000 nits and it can automatically adjust its brightness according to its surroundings for uninterrupted entertainment as it is certificated by SGS for both “Eye Care Display” and “Seamless Display,” for long-haul viewing sessions.
This smartphone has Reading Mode 3.0 that allows users to switch to a warmer color temperature to reduce eye strain, especially at night. Users can also add a paper texture to the text background for a more authentic experience. All of this runs at 2400 x 1800 FHD+ resolution, which means users can enjoy smooth use for everything from catching up with the latest vlogs to endless social media scrolling, all the while enjoying a sharp, vivid, and colorful visual experience.
The triple camera setup with a 64MP high-resolution main camera takes sharp, clear, and detailed photos, and is the first of its kind to debut in the M-series. Rounding out the triple setup is an 8MP ultra-wide camera for bringing the bigger moments into perspective thanks to a wider, 118° angle. While the 2MP macro lens can get up close and personal to capture spectacular shots of the micro-world we rarely have the chance to see in detail. The triple camera also comes with features that empower users to capture any and every moment of their day in vivid detail including slow-motion video, time-lapse video, and night mode. Of course, if selfies are a modus operandi for their social media content, the 16MP front camera more than lives up to the challenge of keeping its users looking their best.
Weighing just 179.5g and is 8.09mm thick, POCO M4 Pro is the lightest POCO smartphone to date — without sacrificing versatility. Equipped with a behemoth 5,000mAh battery that can last more than two days, the POCO M4 Pro’s 33W Pro fast charging full recharges itself in only an hour — just enough time for a bite to eat. Fortunately, if time is of the essence, charge POCO M4 Pro for only 10 minutes, which amounts to a substantial two hours of video playback.
Under the hood, POCO M4 Pro carries the MediaTek Helio G96, a high-performance chipset that can handle anything a user might throw at them. While a lightning-fast 2.05GHz octa-core CPU and ARM Mali-G57 MC2 GPU give POCO M4 Pro all the power it needs to give users the ultimate entertainment experience. But for an added measure to ensure that it operates at peak performance, LiquidCool Technology 1.0 Plus is designed to keep moderate temperate, no matter how long and how frequently POCO M4 Pro is used.
If the 8GB of RAM isn’t enough, Dynamic RAM Expansion Technology enables the transfer of an extra 3GB from the 256GB of ROM. Storage can be expanded to up to 1TB, meaning it’s capable of storing a personal library of up to 500 videos, 250,000 songs, and 500,000 photos. POCO M4 Pro also comes with dual speakers for an immersive sound experience, a Z-axis linear motor for responsive haptic feedback, and the all-new MIUI 13 for a stable and engaging user experience.
True to its nature as an all-around ace and an entertainment hub, POCO is adding one more service to its list of inaugural features for the latest devices. YouTube’s subscription service, YouTube Premium, will come pre-installed on both POCO X4 Pro 5G and POCO M4 Pro – a first for any POCO phone. To sweeten the deal, customers can enjoy YouTube Premium for up to two months free. That means two months of ad-free, offline viewing, and uninterrupted access to video and music content across the Youtube platform.
