Poco M4 Pro 5G Review with Price in Bangladesh: Is it worth buying?
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.

The phone features a plastic build all around with Gorilla glass protection on the front. 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.

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.
