The onset of 2024 marked a notable increase in smartphone launches, particularly within the midrange category. In this wave, the reputed smartphone brand Xiaomi released the POCO X6 Pro in India on January 11. While retaining some key elements from its ancestor, the device brings several innovative features. Let’s take a look at the key specs, pros, cons, and price of Xiaomi POCO X6 Pro in Bangladesh. 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. The device is dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by) and carries an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance.  The glass finish on the back is visually striking, though prone to fingerprints. The rear camera island is seamlessly integrated, ensuring stability on flat surfaces. The flat plastic frame with a metallic finish houses power and volume buttons on the right, a secondary speaker, a secondary microphone, an IR blaster on the top, a USB-C port, a primary speaker, a primary microphone, and a removable SIM slot on the bottom.  Read more: iQOO Neo 9 Review: A Flagship Grade Mid-Range Smartphone The flat display dominates the front with thin bezels, facilitating a seamless user experience, while the phone's lightweight construction and modest thickness enhance its overall appeal. Display The Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro flaunts a remarkable 6.67-inch AMOLED display, boasting a 1.5K resolution (2712 by 1220 pixels) and an impressive 120Hz refresh rate. With a 12-bit color depth offering 68 billion colors, the visuals are vibrant. The display supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, delivering stunning contrast and color accuracy. It reaches up to 1800 nits peak brightness, ensuring excellent visibility in bright outdoor conditions and enhancing the viewing experience for HDR content. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 provides robust protection. In practical use, the display is responsive and features accurate touch recognition. POCO introduces convenience with the ability to operate the display with wet fingers. The inclusion of various pre-set color schemes, including "Original Colour PRO," ensures natural and calibrated color reproduction. Overall, the POCO X6 Pro's display stands out for its clarity, vibrancy, and adaptability to various scenarios, promising an optimal visual experience.

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. Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Review: Is it a value-for-money midrange phone? 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.

In the fast-paced world of smartphones, Xiaomi has emerged as a prominent player, consistently pushing boundaries with its innovative and feature-packed devices. In August 2018, Xiaomi launched its sub-brand Poco with an aim to provide advanced phones to budget-conscious consumers. One such series that has captured the attention of tech enthusiasts is the Xiaomi Poco F Phone series. This lineup offers exceptional performance, cutting-edge features, and affordability, catering to the demands of a wide range of users. Poco has recently announced the launch of F5 Pro. This phone debuts in China in May this year. Let’s see what features you can expect from Poco F5 Pro. Key Specs of Poco F5 Pro 5G Design & Display The Poco F5 Pro comes with a stylish and sleek design with a glass back panel. The curved edges make the phone more comfortable to hold. Despite its 6.41 x 2.97 x 0.34 (inches) dimension, the phone remains lightweight, weighing in at just 204g. The front has a stunning 6.67-inches flat display with ultra-thin bezels, resulting in a truly attractive aesthetic feature. While the design is impressive, its durability is not the absolute best available. However, the display has Gorilla Glass 5 protection. But it only offers IP53 certification for dust and water protection. The good thing is the display features an AMOLED panel with a remarkable resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels.  Read more: Xiaomi POCO F5 5G Review: Is this mid-range phone worth buying With a maximum 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1400 nits, the display ensures a visually stunning experience. Even under bright conditions outdoors, the Pro HDR support enhances the clarity and beauty of the content, making it appear vivid. Further, if you are a gamer, you will love to hear that Poco F5 Pro has a 480Hz touch sampling rate making it a more responsive phone compared to other phones in this price range. The phone comes in black and white colors. The white color features hiding fingerprint marks left on the smooth glass back panel.

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

POCO is a sub-brand of the Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi that was launched in 2018. POCO aims to offer high-end specifications at a lower price point than Xiaomi’s flagship devices, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. The ‘POCO X’ lineup is the brand’s flagship line of smartphones that are known for their powerful processors, high refresh rate displays, large batteries, and attractive designs. POCO launched X5 Pro 5G on February 06, 2023, in India. Let’s see POCO X5 Pro’s features and price. Key Features of POCO X5 Pro 5G Read on to get a detailed review of X5 Pro. Design Despite looking distinct from the Poco X4 Pro, the Poco X5 Pro bears a clear resemblance to its predecessor. Its design features flat sides, a flat rear panel, and a flat screen, giving it a slab-like appearance that is shared by other smartphones, such as the Redmi Note 11 Pro and the Xiaomi 12 Lite. These comparisons are significant as these devices share many similarities. Although the POCO X5 Pro’s chassis seems to be made of metal and the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, the back panel is constructed of plastic. Read More: Infinix Zero 5G 2023 Turbo Review: What’s special about it In keeping with convention, the camera module is positioned in the top left corner, with the branding placed alongside it against a black background, creating the illusion that the module is much larger than it really is. POCO has worked with the same design approach that it used with the X4 Pro, though with a different orientation. The POCO X5 Pro is quite large, measuring 76mm in width and 7.9mm in thickness, which is further accentuated by its flat sides. Its dimensions make it unwieldy for one-handed use, and it is not an ideal choice for individuals with smaller hands. Although POCO claims that this is the thinnest phone in its X-series lineup, with the X4 Pro measuring 8.1mm in thickness, it is unlikely that you will be able to detect the 0.2mm difference between the two models.

POCO was founded in 2018 as a sub-brand of Xiaomi. In recent years, the company has started its journey as an independent brand and launched a bunch of quality Smartphones. With their ‘M’ series line-up phones, POCO has captured the budget mid-range market. POCO M5, the latest in this line, debuted in India on 13th September 2022. In this device, POCO brings impressive design and internal upgrades. Let’s take a look at the key features of the Xiaomi POCO M5. Key Specifications of Xiaomi POCO M5  Design and Build Quality The design of the POCO M5 is clearly its strongest and most interesting aspect. Anyone familiar with smartphones would know the distinct brand representation of the three-point camera system on the iPhone or the horizontal visor on the Pixel. The M5 is a mix of both these design elements and then some more. The device itself is completely made from plastic with a faux leather texture on the back. The texture is only appealing visually as it still feels like plastic on the hand. Read Apple's iPhone 14 Review: A revamped iPhone 13? There is a stretched-out visor on the back that houses the camera module and the large POCO branding. The two main sensors are aligned vertically with a small secondary one placed on the vertices. As an entry-level mid-range device, users will be getting all the usual ports and button choices. Interestingly, the headphone jack is positioned on the top of the device in a typical POCO fashion. The side-mounted power button doubles as the fingerprint scanner. Other features like micro SDXC, dual sim, and USB Type C 2.0 are all present on the M5. At almost 8.9 mm in thickness, the device easily falls on the chunky side. But much of that has been offset by the boxy design which gives it a more premium and durable hand feel. Read Walton Primo HM7 Review: Midrange processor in ultra-budget device Overall, the design of the M5 is innovative with s sturdy plastic build. While it's not market disrupting in any way, it still poses a good value for its price. Display The front of the M5 features a 6.58-inch 1080P IPS LCD panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate. It’s just another average IPS panel with the only mentionable feature being the 90 Hz refresh rate. The high refresh rate is becoming increasingly common in the budget mid-range segment as it definitely elevates the overall user experience. However, one of the quirks with the panel is that it has a max brightness of 500 nits. Without a dedicated HBM, it becomes a tad bit difficult to view the phone at max brightness in direct sunlight. The problem only gets compounded since it's an LCD panel. Read Oppo A57 Review: Key specs, pros and cons The colors and contrasts looked decent on the M5 display. Just like all its predecessors, the colors appeared to be on the warmer side. The viewing angles are also great with distortion found only at extreme angles. The display won’t exude the best quality out there. But if you consider what you’re paying, it might still seem like a good option. Camera The M5 features three cameras on the back with the main sensor being a 50 MP wide-angle shooter. The other two accompanying lenses are 2 MP depth and macro shooters. It's clear that the additional sensors are just there to increase the sensor count of the camera module rather than actually having any meaningful impact on the overall photography. Read Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 Review: Multitasking King for Utilitarian Users As expected, almost all the heavy work is done by the primary sensor. Thankfully, it does an exceptional job. Colors and details look impeccable from the pixel binned 50 MP shots. The dynamic range is also clearly visible regardless of the subject and light periphery. But that’s the case with almost every smartphone when it comes to well-lit environments. However, the M5 won’t let you down in artificial or low light as well. While there are still some noises visible in extreme dark shots, the variable shutter speed does an excellent job of exposing the subject to the correct degree. Images look relatively sharp and more pleasing compared to similarly priced devices. Read Asus ROG Phone 6 Review: Pros, cons of the hardcore gaming beast The videography of the M5 is limited to 1080P at 30 fps. While the main sensor is capable of more than that, it’s the processor which is the main constraint. There is also a 5 MP selfie shooter. It’s a generic lens and one that can be found in most entry-level devices. Overall, the M5 won’t compete with higher-end mid-ranges like the Samsung A series when it comes to performance. But it certainly created a space for itself in its price bracket. Processor and Performance The POCO M5 is powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 processor based on the 6 Nm architecture. Previously POCO has used the Dimensity 900 processor on their M series devices. This is the first time that the brand went with Helio processors and there is a good reason for that. The octa-core 2 2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 and 6 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 might seem slightly above entry level. But MediaTek has specially optimized this processor for gaming. Read realme Pad Mini Review: Is it a worthy budget iPad mini of android? The device can run the day-to-day tasks smoothly thanks to the efficient core design and in part to the 90 Hz smooth refresh rate making transitions and animations even more fluid. The device can run the latest multiplayer games like COD, PUBG, and Asphalt 9 at 'Max' settings. Not to mention, the capability of a device of this budget to run 3D graphics-intensive games at max settings is surprising. However, the processor cannot bear the toll for long as throttling kicks in after about 30 minutes of gaming. So, it's better to run games with 'Medium' settings as it will give the best performance. To wrap up the performance of the M5, it definitely punches above its weight. Read Vivo V25 Pro: Detailed Review with Key Specifications Battery and Charge Time The POCO M5 has been equipped with a 5000 mAh battery. On ideal usage, the device can easily last a full day. To make things even sweeter, there is an included 18 W charger on the box. Price of Xiaomi POCO M5 The official price of the POCO M5 is 12,499 Rs in India which is roughly equivalent to 14,735 BDT (1 INR = 1.18 BDT). POCO M5 is not officially available in Bangladesh yet. However, the official price of POCO M5 in Bangladesh may vary depending on availability, tax, and other policies. Final Words The latest M5 is a budget device from POCO. This device brought some refreshing changes to the design aesthetics, camera, and overall performance of the device. However, the display could’ve definitely been better as it lacks enough outdoor brightness. Read Top 10 mobile phones coming to Bangladesh in September 2022 So, who should buy the M5? Anyone looking for a solid budget device can easily go for it. And for people looking for a gaming fix on the cheap, the Xiaomi POCO M5 is currently the best deal out there hands down.  

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.

The Xiaomi Poco C31 was released as a successor to their popular budget option, the C3. The phone was launched on 2nd October 2021 in China. The phone has been made available in the South Asian market in the subsequent months. As a budget phone, the Poco C31 does not offer extraordinary features. It is a functional device that gets the job done without any outstanding features. So, who is this phone for? And what are the cut corners for the exceptionally low price? Stay with us to read the detailed review, specs and price of Xiaomi Poco C31 in Bangladesh. Key Features of Xiaomi Poco C31  Design and Build Quality The Xiaomi Poco C31 is an all-around plastic phone. This was expected considering the price and the previous C3 model. However, the phone feels good in the hand thanks to its slim profile. Xiaomi put in a 5000 mAh battery on the C31 yet they somehow managed to keep the thickness within 9 mm. The phone is on the lighter side at 194 grams. Much of that is due to the plastic body. The back of the phone has a dual-tone finish. It gives the phone an earlier pixel model look but the materials here are a letdown. Users are getting a monotone color of either Royal Blue or shadow gray. There is a distinct Poco branding just below the camera module reminding users that it is not exactly like the other Xiaomi devices.

The fingerprint is the only mentionable upgrade from the C3 as there aren't any other major changes. The phone features the volume rocker and the power button on the right and the sim tray on the left. The dual sim slot has an extra slot for a micro-SD. So storage won't be a problem in this device. The usual Type-C port along with a 3.5 mm jack is situated on the bottom of the device. Overall, the build quality aligns with the price point. The Display The Poco C31 features a 6.53-inch 720P IPS LCD panel. The front panel is not rated for any type of protection so users should get a protective screen to avoid scratches and cracks. The 720P panel is clearly outdated by 2022 standard but for the price, it’s a very good screen.   Read Tesla Smartphone Model Pi: Leaked features, release date Colors look bright and vivid on the panel. The display can get a max brightness of up to 400 nits. Again 400 nits aren’t much but it gets the job done. The display is perfectly legible under direct sunlight and there aren’t weird color shifts on the panel. The Camera The Poco C31 features a triple camera module. But in reality, the main sensor is the only useful one. It features a 13 MP f/2.2 wide-angle shooter, 2MP depth, and another 2 MP macro shooter. The depth and macro sensors don’t really do anything except for making space in the module. The users can trigger the macro sensor for a macro shot but the result is not quite palatable. However, the main sensor shines here. The 13 MP shooter can take pretty impressive photos in bright and outdoor conditions. The sensor can capture great details of the subject. However, it struggles with the dynamic range. Read Best Upcoming Smartphones in Bangladesh in February 2022 There is a dedicated night mode on the Poco C31. The night mode sometimes overexposes the background but it does pretty well to reduce noise in the picture. The camera can shoot up to 1080P at 30 fps. There is neither EIS nor OIS in the camera system so videos aren’t stabilized much. The front camera has a standard 5 MP shooter. Again, it is only good enough for casual shots at best. Overall, the camera does well for the price segment. Though Poco could’ve easily introduced a better sensor replacing the almost useless depth and macro shooters. Processor and Performance The Poco C31 features a MediaTek MT6765G Helio G35 processor built on the 12 Nm architecture. This is an entry-level processor with low-performance output. It features an octa-core design with 4 2.3 GHz Cortex-A53 and 4 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 chips. The processor is complemented by PowerVR GE8320 GPU. Read Oppo Reno7 SE 5G Review: Can it rule the upper mid-range segment? Now to the all-important question, can this phone run graphic intensive games? The answer is no. Well technically it can but users will notice excessive heating and frame drops after a few minutes. The processor and the GPU are only good enough for light 2D games. This phone is actually designed for lightweight users. People who will use the phone for casual stuff like browsing the web, YouTube, or social media. Anything beyond that puts a strain on the performance of the device. But the phone coupled with the MIUI 12.1 can easily run day-to-day tasks without any hiccup. Speaking of UI, this is something that will disappoint many users. While Android 11 is available for almost all entry-level smartphones, this phone comes with Android 10 built on MIUI 12.1 OS. Considering the phone is a budget option, it is highly unlikely that it will receive any update in the future. But for those who do not have any issue with the OS and android update, this device is easily one of the better performers in this price bracket. Read Xiaomi 12X Review: Is It the New Flagship Killer? Battery and Charge Time The POCO C31 phone is provided with a massive battery featuring 5000 mAh . It has become a common scene in the budget segment to have a 5000 mAh power unit. Given the processor and the inability to run heavy tasks, the phone will easily last about a day or day and a half of use. There is no fast charging on the Poco C31 and expecting that at this price range would be a long shot. Price of POCO C31 in Bangladesh The Poco C31 is available for 10,000 BDT officially in Bangladesh. Verdict A budget phone like the Poco C31 has to cut many corners to ensure that the price stays affordable in the entry-level budget segment. The Poco C31 has its lacking in certain aspects but it is tough to complain about given the price. The battery life and the display are easily one of its strongest suits. And given the target market, this is what mainly matters. Overall, the Xiaomi Poco C31 is a decent device and can be easily recommended in the sub 10,000 BDT category.

The Poco Lineup of phones was Xiaomi’s answer to budget killer smartphones. The company already got popularity for producing great budget devices. POCO M series lineup made for some impressive spec decked phones at a remarkably affordable price. In fact, the Poco series was one of the earliest to adopt the 5G with the M3 Pro devices. With that said, the POCO M4 Pro 5G seems like a sensible and worthy update to the M3 Pro 5G. Whether it is the better camera module or the improved display color, the phone delivers on all fronts all the while maintaining the affordable price tag. Poco M4 Pro Key Features Design and Build Quality The Poco series always held a distinctive design element in their phones. And it came mostly in the form of the large Poco branding slapped on a contrasting color on the back. The same is present on the M4 Pro. The key design is similar to the Redmi Note 11. However, the camera module gets extended in a rectangular shape to make way for the “Designed by Poco” branding. Other than that, the phone exudes a premium look and feel all around. The carved plastic back has a distinct graphite tone to it which the company calls “Power Black” color. The phone is available in yellow and blue color options as well.

It is also rated for IP53 splash and dust resistance.  The power button and the volume rocker are situated on the right side of the device. There is a 3.5 mm headphone jack along with a stereo speaker at the bottom of the device. Overall, the phone feels premium in hand with a durable plastic build.  Display The main improvement from the previous generation Poco M series here is the display. Poco has been criticized in the past for the color gamut on their devices. However, they threw this one out of the park. The 6.6-inch IPS LCD features a 90 Hz refresh rate and 240 Hz touch sampling rate. The 84.8% screen-to-body ratio is good enough for FHD+ resolution with 399 PPI.  If that alone was not enough to impress, the brand also included the DCI-P3 color gamut for an increased contrast and color capture on the display. It is a budget device after all and the contrast ratio will not be as good as high-end AMOLED panels. But at this price point, it delivers better than the competitors. Read Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Smartwatch Review with Price in Bangladesh Camera There has been a trend of shoving as many camera sensors on the back as possible. Brands have made triple and quad-camera setup on the back a normal thing, even on budget phones. While they work to some extent on flagship devices, it is a complete gimmick on the budget lineup. The phone heavily relies on the main sensor most of the time. The supporting sensors fail to deliver most of the time.

Primary Lenses The POCO F3 GT features a 64MP (f/1.7, 26mm wide, 1/2.0-inch, 0.7µm,) primary sensor, an 8MP (f/2.2, 120-degree field of view) ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP (f/2.4) macro lens.  The 64MP sensor is just like the one given with the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition. It takes better pictures with precise contrast. Though many can say that the cameras are the only facets where POCO F3 GT has fallen short to meet users’ expectations. But still, these cameras are powerful lenses and deliver quality images. The primary sensor does an excellent job in broad daylight producing great images with many details, great dynamic range, and precise colors. Even in low light conditions, these cameras can take astonishing shots with a minimum level of noise and preserving highlights. However, the other two lenses can’t go along with the primary lens in low light. They are great in daylight though. Users can record videos at 30fps in up to 4K resolution. Read OnePlus Nord 2 5G Review: Is it worth buying? Front Facing Camera The POCO F3 GT has used a 16MP selfie camera with HDR. It can seem like a cliché as the smartphone market has been using similar cameras in the phone of a specific budget range. It has been really difficult to stand apart from the crowd by giving more. Because everyone is trying to give their best. The selfie lens is good as there is nothing to complain about it. It can record videos in 1080p resolution at 30fps. Performance, Hardware & UI The POCO F3 GT is claimed to be a gaming phone, but is it really? The device is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 1200 SoC. While the chipset is competent and can handle most visually demanding games at high graphics and frame rate settings, the SoC falls short of Qualcomm's offerings. Though the SoC chipset shows better performance in different benchmark tests, it can't perform better in real-life situations. In higher memory phones, the Dimensity 1200 5G 6nm SoC with Mali-G77 MC9 GPU runs high config games in the maximum settings quite smoothly. However, in cases of lower memories, mid graphical settings would be the best to play games without having any lags and glitches. From the processor’s angel, none can deny its claim to be a gaming phone, but it would more justifying if they used a powerful Qualcomm cheapest.
