Key Features of POCO X6 Pro Design The Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro exhibits a sleek design, measuring 160.5 mm by 74.3 mm by 8.3 mm and weighing 186 g or 190 g. With a glass front (Gorilla Glass 5) and options for a plastic or eco-leather back, it combines elegance with durability.

Accompanying it are an 8 MP (f/2.2) ultrawide lens with a 120˚ field of view and a 2 MP (f/2.4) macro lens.  While the main camera excels in good lighting conditions, providing detailed and vibrant captures, the ultrawide lens proves effective for expansive cityscapes. However, the macro lens falls short of expectations.  The rear camera system features LED flash, HDR, and panorama capabilities, capturing videos in 4K at 24/30fps and 1080p at 30/60fps with gyro-EIS.

The 16 MP (f/2.4) front camera delivers satisfactory results, supporting HDR and panorama features and recording videos at 1080p/30/60fps. The front camera, though offering satisfactory performance, has HDR that lags behind the rear cameras.  Overall, the Poco X6 Pro's camera system offers a well-rounded photography experience with notable strengths and some limitations.

Xiaomi recently launched the Poco F5 5G in India on 9th May 2023. Poco has launched a range of value for money devices with their F series smartphones. Even though the phones of this lineup are meant as mid-range smartphones, what they pack inside would easily compete with yesteryear’s flagships. And their latest innovation Poco F5 5G has pushed that line even further. Here’s how.  Key Specifications of Xiaomi Poco F5 5G   Design and Build Quality  Being a mid-range, the Poco F5 generated quite a buzz even before its release. The device also made it to our list of the best upcoming smartphones for the month of May. And after the release, the hype train has only lengthened.  Much of the excitement has to do with the design of the device itself. The F series goes for a new iteration each year and the F5 is also no different. The device has a glass front, an aluminium frame, and a plastic back.  The back design has an abstract scratch-like design that refracts under direct light. It gives off a fresh snow vibe on the white variant. The aluminium frame is boxy and sturdy, bringing some heft to the device. But the magic is happening on the front.  Read more: Asus ROG Strix G16 Review: Is it a value for money gaming laptop? Weighing 181g, the Xiaomi’s Poco F5 5G has dimensions of 6.34 x 2.95 x 0.31 (inches). Its display is protected by the corning gorilla glass 5. Before the Nothing Phone 1, there weren’t really any mentionable mid-range smartphones with a uniform front bezel. The Poco F5 has brought that uniformity and has done a better job at it. The bezels are much thinner all around compared to the Nothing Phone 1 and it honestly feels like a Samsung S23 from the front.  The usual selection of ports and buttons are all there. The micro SDXC has been scrapped but the headphone jack has made a comeback. It's unusual to see headphone jacks on a premium midrange device in 2023. The fingerprint and the volume button are mounted on the right. The sim tray slot is on the left with the secondary noise-cancelling mic on top.  The only gripe with the design would be the fingerprint scanner. As a premium midrange, Poco could’ve easily incorporated an in-display fingerprint scanner. But overall, the build and the design will impress most people. Read more: Walton Orbit Y21 Review: Budget-friendly phone with a smart look The Display  The 6.67-inch display on the Poco F5 is probably its biggest highlight. While being a midrange, Poco has somehow incorporated a 12 bits AMOLED FHD panel on the device featuring resolutions of 1080 by 2400 pixels, 20:9 ratio, along with 395 ppi density.  For context, 12 bits can produce up to 68B colours, which was only reserved for the premium flagships up until now. In comparison, most midrange and some flagships come with 10 bits which produce 1B colours.  There is also Dolby Vision and HDR10+ to support such a wide colour array. And the 120 Hz refresh makes interaction buttery smooth.  The spec on the paper also translates to use. There are no weird colour shifts on the angles and everything looks much more contrasty than an average midrange. Users would definitely enjoy the panel for normal use and media consumption.  The display also has a typical 500 nits brightness with a 1000 nits HBM for perfect outdoor viewing.  Read more: OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G Review: What’s special about it? The Camera  The Poco F5 has a triple camera setup. The main sensor is a 64 MP (f/1.8) wide-angle shooter complemented by an 8MP (f/2.2) ultrawide and a 2 MP (f/2.4) macro shooter. From the spec, the F5 has been geared to be a performance-oriented device and as such, users will be getting the same camera hardware from the Poco F4.  It's not necessarily a bad thing as the camera can shoot decent images in broad daylight. The colours look crisp with great details and dynamic range. The lack of a depth sensor means the portrait mode will be a hit or miss at times.  The low-light performance of the F5 is also satisfactory. The videography on the F5 is a bit choppy on 4K as there is no EIS.  There’s also a 16 MP (f/2.5) selfie shooter at the front. Compared to the Nothing Phone 1, the camera experience on the F5 falls short slightly. It's not a deal breaker, but if camera is the priority, then there are better options out there at this price point.  Read more: Redmi Note 12 Turbo Harry Potter Edition: Enter the Magical Wizarding World

The Xiaomi POCO F series is a mid-range phone from a Chinese manufacturer that is perfect for those who are looking for a smartphone with all the latest features. The F series has a design and build quality you can expect from top-notch options. POCO F series is available in different models, and recently the company has brought a new model Poco F4. The phone has already been released in India on June 23. Let's see the details of the Xiaomi Poco F4. Key Features of Xiaomi Poco F4 Design Poco F4 is an upgraded version of Poco F3. So, you will find some similarities in design, while there are some differences too. For the F4, however, Poco evolved the trend of releasing squared-off versions of devices with flat edges. In doing so, the brand took away some of the attraction of the preexisting F3 model while ensuring that, nonetheless, it integrated with the smartphone market rather than looking unique. The camera on the back of the phone is neat enough, with a square component protruding from a rectangular base. The camera is located in the top left corner. As seen in most phones these days, F4’s, both the back and front cover are glass. Hence, nearly all of the front panel is taken up by the display, and you will find a tiny hole-punch camera at the top of the display. Read Samsung Galaxy M13 5G Review: The Budget Samsung for 2022 Display The full HD AMOLED screen on the Poco F4 is excellent for a device of this price. It is bright, reaching peaks of 1300 nits, and it supports refresh rates of up to 120 Hz. In addition to that, the phone support HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. All things considered, it's a highly dynamic screen. Needless to say, the 395 pixel-per-inch pixels offer plenty of detail. When you think about the mix of clarity, brightness, and contrast on this model of midrange phone, it is easily among the top options in its class. The shades are somewhat cheerful and vivid, and the dark shade is very deep. However, the display detail depends on how you set it up, as it offers multiple setting options. However, the default color scheme is Vivid, which, depending on the intensity, can sometimes make certain hues too strong. Reds, oranges, and pinks are among the colors that lose saturation under their influence. Read Top 10 Upcoming Phones in August 2022 in Bangladesh Sound The Poco F4 contains two speakers on either end of the phone. The speakers create stereo audio together. However, the speaker on the top part of the phone is not strong enough like the bottom speaker. They get loud enough to sound great, and they are also powerful enough to stream in the sizable room. But they are not very clear enough at the higher fringes of the frequency spectrum. Camera Modern smartphones contain lenses for just about every situation, and the Poco F4 contains three lenses. The 64-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. With these lenses, you can take close-up, telephoto, and wide-angle images in pretty much any scenario. The primary sensor is usually a color sensor of 64 megapixels, which distinguishes right down to a 16-megapixel picture and merges four pixels to make it one. With this feature, Poco F4 is able to grab worthy pics. Read Samsung Galaxy A73 5G Review: Mid-range performance under premium price The phone comes with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) feature. The camera's OIS feature gives you more control over how your phone takes photos, even for massive movements. Those who have the proper skills for taking excellent photos can take full advantage of the high-definition camera on the phone. Among the options is a six-lens 4K cinematic camera with capabilities such as AI Skyscraping 4.0, AI Erase 2.0, Panoramic selfie, and more. Performance Poco F4, at its heart, is a mobile device with a gaming function and can easily be observed by examining its smooth-as-butter performance. The device's Qualcomm Snapdragon 870A chipset and UFS 3.1 LPDDR5 memory ensure that the data is transferred at a maximum speed on the phone. Once again, it affords a user a smooth and consistent transition from app to app. Read Nothing Phone 1 Review: Beyond the Hype and the Glyph The only thing bothering me is that the phone gets very hot relatively quickly when playing video games at the top settings. However, it has a cooling system to prevent the phone from catching on fire, but you will definitely feel a small temperature increase on your hands. The phone comes with different memory variations. It comes with 3 RAM variations 6GB, 8GB, and 12GM. For the storage, you will get two versions, 128GB and 256GB. However, Poco F4 doesn't come with external SD card options. Optimized Gaming Experience Part of the reason why the POCO F4 is exceptionally good with video games is that it includes a game optimizer called Game Turbo that can help you be more productive while playing. You can choose Classic Mode (default) or Pro Mode (for professional gamers). You can also adjust settings for initiating, accuracy, responsiveness, and graphical performance.

The 8Gb with 128GB variation is 29,999 rupees or Tk. 36,139 (1 rupee= Tk. 1.20). However, the official price of Xiaomi Poco F4 in Bangladesh may vary due to tax issues and company policy.

The POCO sub-brand of Xiaomi has been a consistent performer in the mid and upper mid-range smartphone market. POCO has already launched the POCO X4 and the POCO M4 on the market. However, the recent buzz around the flagship F4 started to circulate after its processor specs were noticed in the Geekbench score. The POCO F4 still has a long time to materialize with a scheduled release in late July to September this year. However, details are slowly emerging thanks to renditions and leaks. Here is everything that is known about the Xiaomi POCO F4 in detail. Leaks and Rumors about Xiaomi POCO F4 Design and Build Quality The previous iterations of the POCO phones were rebranding of another notable Xiaomi sub-brand, the Redmi K series. The POCO F3 shared almost everything with the hugely popular Redmi K40. The POCO F4 is expected to walk the same path with it being a global edition of either the Redmi K40S or the K50. These are all very conflicting reports and should be taken with a grain of salt. Regardless of which device POCO rebrands, the design element should remain the same as the K50 Pro and K40S share almost similar dimensions. Going by that, users will get either glass or plastic back design with the front being protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus. The port and button choices are as usual. The volume rocker and the power button are expected to be on the right with the power button doubling as the fingerprint scanner. There will be no 3.5 mm headphone jack just like the POCO F3. Read Xiaomi POCO X4 Pro Review: Know the Pros and Cons The phone will feature a stereo speaker system. The hybrid sim slot will support micro SDXC in addition to the two micro sims. Overall, from the build quality perspective, we can totally expect the POCO F3 to be a direct replication of the K40S or the K50 and that is not necessarily a bad thing at all. Display Going by the K40S and the K50 Pro, the POCO F4 should sport a 6.67-inch display. But notable leaker Yogesh Brar has hinted that the display will be a 6.3-inch one. Regardless of the size, it’s almost certain that the panel will be an FHD+ AMOLED 120 Hz one. This specific panel is slated to go as bright as 1300 nits under direct sunlight which is definitely on par with the industry flagships. The closest reference to the display, the K50 Pro has stunning color reproduction with excellent viewing angles. Users will get full-color customization support from the OS. The HDR 10+ support is also here which means it will be able to utilize the HD streaming option from different streaming platforms. The panel probably won’t compete with the likes of Super AMOLED from Samsung. But it will definitely provide a good value for money. Read Vivo iQOO Z6 Review: The Budget Vivo for Camera Enthusiasts Camera Yogesh Brar also stated that the camera will come in a triple sensor configuration much like the K40S and the K50 Pro. However, it’s expected that the camera will sport a 64 MP main shooter unlike the K40S and the K50 Pro. The main sensor will be complemented by an 8 MP ultrawide shooter and a 5 MP depth or macro lens. The camera performance cannot be confirmed at this moment as it's not expected to follow any of the existing Xiaomi sensor iterations. The previous POCO phones were reliable in the camera department. It's safe to assume that a similar performance will be seen on the POCO F4 as well. Processor and Performance Perhaps the most disappointing news is related to the processor of the POCO F4. Yogesh Brar claims that the device will come with a Snapdragon 870 chipset. This is the same processor that was seen on the last generation POCO F3. No doubt that the Snapdragon 870 5G SoC is still a very capable processor. It is built on the 7 Nm architecture with 1 3.2 GHz Kryo 585 and 3 2.42 GHz Kryo 585 and 4 1.80 GHz Kryo 585 setup. Read OPPO K10 5G Review with Price: What’s New? The 800 series processor can breeze through almost anything thrown at it. even by the 2022 standard, the POCO F3 performs well without any noticeable lag. Users who are into casual browsing will feel right at home with the processor. The processor can still handle graphics-intensive games pretty well. Titles like PUBG and Asphalt 9 run without any hiccup or heating issues. The flagship series processors usually run for at least 3 years without any noticeable performance lag. On that end, the 870 SoC is just a year old. But it still begs the question of why should POCO have to go with an older generation processor? Given the choices out there, this might make the difference in terms of sales. The phone is slated to come with MIUI 13 based on Android 12. Previous users of MIUI will feel right at home here. The new iteration of the OS feels snappy as seen on the K50 Pro. So users should have a pretty decent experience on the software end. Read Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro 5G Review: What’s new? Battery and Charge Time The battery of the POCO F4 is expected to be 4500 mAh. Considering the processor and the display size, this should be more than enough for most people. exact battery data aren’t available for the POCO F4 yet, but it should last all day given the size. On top of that, users will be getting 67W fast charging with the device. Though it is not sure whether the charging brick will be included with the device or not. Price of Xiaomi POCO F4 in Bangladesh The expected price of the POCO F4 will be around 350 USD for the base model which roughly translates to 30,160 BDT (1 USD = 86.17 BDT). However, the price will vary depending on several factors like supply, tax, and company policy. Verdict The Xiaomi POCO F4 has a lot going for itself according to speculations. New camera hardware and display sound promising. But the news surrounding the processor is slightly worrying and might antagonize many potential customers. It will be quite some time before the actual details are known about the processor choice and how it aligns with the device. Read Motorola Edge 20 Fusion Review: Is it worth consideration?

Poco X series is a product line of Poco, the sub-brand of popular phone brand Xiaomi. As of March 2022, Poco offers 5 models of the X series in the Indian region. And Poco X4 Pro 5G is the latest addition to the family. The phone is expected to be released on March 28 in India. The Poco X4 Pro has a great battery life, a strong screen, and limited gaming power. Let’s get to see the detailed review of the Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G. Key features of Poco X4 Pro 5G Design The Poco X series used to have a chunky and thick body, such as the Poco X3 Pro and Poco X3 NFC. But the company has now moved to a slimmer design with a more severe frame. The X4 Pro is easier to hold as it has much less of a palm filler than the Poco X3 Pro. While the outer shell of X3 was made with plastic, the X4 contains a flat glass rear panel. However, the phone’s side is made of plastic. Despite the plastic made, the overall feel of the brings a net improvement. Read Vivo iQOO Z6 Review: The Budget Vivo for Camera Enthusiasts Overall, the Poco X4 Pro 5G is somewhat more toned down compared to previous devices, although the Poco X4 Pro 5G still holds it close in bicep-flexibility compared to the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. The Poco X4 Pro 5 G’s back glass has a light-insensitive layer beneath it, which renders the light shafts of a searchlight. However, the effect is not consistent, and it will be muted by the sheer number of fingerprints on the rear glass. Display Xiaomi has established very high standards for affordability, and its Poco X4 Pro phone is outstanding in offering an impressive 6.67-inch AMOLED HD screen. Additionally, the screen beats the display of the Poco X3 phones. Read OPPO K10 5G Review with Price: What’s New? OLED provides enhanced contrast, with greater peak brightness as well. It has turned out to be most striking that the Poco X4 Pro 5G device alters into a new model when the ambient light level gets very high. Meanwhile, if you want to reduce your app icons, you might want to decrease the quality of image grayscale from Vivid to Standard mode. However, Vivid will make colors a little more saturated and impenetrable. The 2400 x 1080-pixel resolution for this phone isn’t quite as deep as it can be, but it is difficult to find anything better for the price. Keep in mind that the phone’s display is 120Hz. Poco X4 Pro 5G came with a 60 Hz refresh rate, but 120 Hertz results in smoother scrolling menus, though at the cost of battery life. The phone can lapse to 120Hz in some instances. If you run an app or game that does not support 120Hz, then it will revert to 60Hz. Software and performance The Poco X4 Pro uses Android 11 and the Xiaomi interface MIUI 13. It’s the most recent release of Android and the most recent version of the Xiaomi interface. The highest visual layer is Poco Launcher, which determines the overall style. Read Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro 5G Review: What’s new? It’s comparable in design to the Poco X3 Pro. There exists a drawer with a plain white background, and there’s a black overlay in the event you want to give your device a moody look. The usual performance is good, with a few expected and unanticipated quirks. The Poco X4 Pro Updates’ app loads are not instantaneous but are similar to the more powerful Poco X3 Pro. In comparison to the Poco F1, the Poco X3 Pro, and Poco F3, the Poco X4 Pro is ordinary at best as it uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 processor. Camera The X4 Pro 5G is equipped with a 108-megapixel primary camera, 2-megapixel zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera. However, such resolution of ultra-wide lenses and zoom cameras are commonly found in entry-level phones nowadays.  Read Motorola Edge 20 Fusion Review: Is it worth consideration? The Poco X4 Pro camera uses the Samsung Galaxy HM2 sensor, which was also used in the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G and the even better Xiaomi Mi 11T Pro. However, its image quality tends to vary, as evidenced by its lack of image processing, which includes noise reduction. You will get a 16 MP, f/2.5 selfie camera, which you can use to record 1080p video at 30fps. The selfie camera’s 16-megapixel sensor by default clears skin excessively. You can switch this off for more natural-looking pictures, but details fade away in dark indoor settings. Battery and Charging The X4 Pro 5G featuring a 5,000 mAh battery can last approximately 18 hours. If you use it carefully, you can even use it for 2 days.  Read Apple iPhone 14 Pro: Know the Latest Leaks, Rumours The 120Hz refresh rate is unchanging and not customizable, which means it is not quite as battery efficient as some other high-end models. As a result, it’s more likely to remain in place for a longer period if you stick with the decreased refresh rate of 60Hz. This impressive performance can help quell anxiety about battery life, giving you peace of mind to take pictures, call friends, and send text messages without your phone dying, which is refreshing too. Xiaomi’s 67W turbocharging technology produces 59% charge in 15 minutes, 94% in half an hour, and a full charge in 40 minutes. Memory The phone comes with two variations, the 6GB/128 GB and 8GB/256GB. However, you can also add an external memory card to its additional sim tray slot. Read Tecno Spark 8C: Review, Price in Bangladesh Price of POCO X4 5G in Bangladesh Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G’s approximate price is 300 Euro or Tk. 28,411 (1Euro= Tk. 94.7). However, the price will go up if you want to buy the 8GB/256 GB version. It may cost 350 Euro or Tk. 33,138. However, the official price tag of this latest POCO X4 5G phone may vary in Bangladesh due to tax and other issues. Final Word Poco’s latest top-of-the-line 5G phone, the Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G, incorporates outstanding specifications and a luxurious recent design into its sleek, premium physical frame, even when compared to its predecessors. In the 108Mp camera, photo detail is sensational in well-lit environments, but it does have issues with nighttime photography due to the lack of Optical Image Stabilization. The 8Mp ultra-wide camera likewise does well for pictures, but it does not have an optical magnification capability. Read Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G: Is it a Downgrade or Upgrade But overall, Poco X4 Pro 5G can be a great choice for users who are on the phone constantly and need a massive battery. Also, the moderate gaming capability also provides an option for young gamers.
