Earlier today, POCO launched the POCO M4 Pro 5G in India. The phone’s launch confirmed the speculation that it is basically a rebranded Redmi Note 11 5G (aka Redmi Note 11T 5G). However, the launch event showcased a teaser for another upcoming POCO device which could be another rebranded Redmi smartphone.
The teaser was first spotted by xiaomiui,
and leads us to believe that the teaser could be hinting at the upcoming POCO
X4 which has recently been making rounds on various certification databases and
has also appeared on Geekbench a couple of times. The smartphone in the
obscured teaser image has a design similar to the Redmi Note 11 Pro, which
further leads us to believe that the device is the upcoming POCO X4 as recent
Geekbench listings have revealed the X4 is essentially a rebranded Redmi Note
11 Pro.
The veiled camera bump also alludes that
it could be the POCO F4 GT which is said to be a rebranded Redmi K50 Gaming
Edition, however, unless the image is digitally modified to omit the high
placed volume button and shoulder trigger, it is unlikely that the teased
smartphone is the upcoming POCO F4 GT. Coming back to the POCO X4, as the
device is expected to be a rebranded Note 11 Pro with a few cosmetic changes,
we can expect it to carry a 6.67-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display with Gorilla
Glass 5 protection.
The POCO X4 will be powered by the
Snapdragon 695 SoC and will feature 6 GB
/ 8 GB of RAM. Storage options will likely range from 64GB to 128GB. It will
come with a 5,000mAh battery that carries support for 67W fast charging. The X4
will run MIUI 13 out of the box and will feature a side-facing fingerprint
scanner for security.
Coming to its photography capabilities, It
will feature a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and a 108-megapixel (main) +
8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit. It is too
early to tell if the tested phone is indeed the POCO X4, so we suggest our
readers take it with a pinch of salt.
