• 6GB Ram + 128GB Storage: Rs 19,999
• 8GB Ram + 128GB Storage: Rs 21,999

Is it Worth buying POCO X4 Pro 5G?

Yes, POCO X4 Pro 5G is worth buying if you can compromise little a bit on the camera department other than that, POCO X4 Pro has almost everything from 120Hz AMOLED Display to powerful snapdragon 695 SoC and even superfast 67W fast charging support.

POCO needs to work on the camera department, now, it’s not like, the phone has bad cameras but sometimes it feels like, POCO didn’t even work on the camera, they just added the sensors.

With some OTA updates, the cameras can be improved but still, then you have to live with decent cameras.

We have seen Snapdragon 695 SoC in the recently launched Moto G71 5G and the same has been added to POCO X4 Pro 5G.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC is a powerful processor and it can handle almost every single mobile game without any problems.

Yes, it has a stereo speaker and it’s great, no complaints. There is also a secondary noise cancellation microphone too which helps a lot in calling.

That 5,000 mAh battery will last for a day but in the end, it will depend on how you use the smartphone in day-to-day life.

Verdict

As I have said, if you can live with a decent camera then there is no better option than POCO X4 Pro 5G but if you want better cameras then do take look at RealMe 9 Pro 5G.

RealMe 9 Pro 5G also has some CONS like, it only has a single speaker, no AMOLED display, only 33W charging support, no IR Blaster while there is no mention of display protection.
