Xiaomi Poco F4 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Poco F4 Pro - game improvements

Smartphones of a sub-brand of the Chinese company Xiaomi called Poco are mostly aimed at providing maximum performance and battery life at more than reasonable prices. In particular, this definition suits the top-end solutions of the developer with the index F. The hero of today's review is trying not only to follow the traditions of the series, but also to offer new competitive advantages.

The appearance of the novelty is a modified version of the exterior of the F3 model. A fourth photomodule has been added to the familiar camera unit, the display frames and the lens of the 32-megapixel selfie module have been reduced. The glass of the back panel still pleasantly cools the hand and effectively resists scratches, but the side edge remains plastic. Therefore, the use of a cover is highly recommended. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display retains the main advantages, which include a refresh rate of 120 hertz , the highest level of brightness and a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels good for a diagonal. All of the above is supplemented with DC Dimming technology, which reduces the values of the harmful PWM effect, a high-quality oleophobic layer and uniform illumination.

You won't be able to find fault with the technical characteristics either. The extremely powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus CPU has a good passive cooling system, thanks to which throttling is so noticeable even after several hours of gameplay. 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Adreno 660 video adapter help to fully unleash the full potential of the processor. The energy efficiency of the chispet is mediocre, but the potential lack of autonomy was eliminated by a 5000mAh battery. Such a battery organizes about 8-9 hours of active screen time, if necessary, you can charge it to 100% in about 40-45 minutes. Of course, the phablet could not do without 128 / 256GB of ROM in UFS 3.1 format.

But the manufacturer decided to save on photographic capabilities, as was already done with the assembly materials. The excellent 108-megapixel Samsung HM2 sensor suffers from the lack of optical stabilization, other auxiliary 16-, 8- and 5-megapixel modules do not surprise with the quality of shooting. As a result, the user will receive very detailed daytime shots without visible drawbacks, but night shots will slightly upset the blur of small objects, as well as ubiquitous noise. But everything is fine with the sound, because the stereo speakers have a relatively balanced frequency response and excellent loudness. NFC contactless payments, an infrared port for controlling household appliances, a proprietary MIUI shell with excellent functionality, albeit with annoying advertising, complement the list of advantages of the device and bring it to the rank of future hits. If you do not consider yourself a fan of mobile photography, then buying the reviewed device will definitely give you a lot of positive emotions.
