Poco F4 (22021211RG) Night Black 8GB RAM 256GB 5G – Global Version Review

The Poco F4 (model number 22021211RG) arrived on my desk promising a flagship-level experience at a mid-range price point. After spending several weeks putting it through its paces, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This in-depth look will cover everything from its stunning AMOLED display to its impressive camera system and battery performance. Let’s dive in!

Key Features

The Poco F4 boasts a compelling array of features, including a vibrant 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and a capable triple-camera system. The 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage ensure smooth multitasking and ample space for apps and files. The inclusion of 67W fast charging is a definite plus in today’s fast-paced world. The sleek Night Black finish is also visually appealing.

Performance & Benchmarks

The Poco F4’s performance is, in a word, excellent. The Qualcomm Snapdragon processor handled demanding tasks, such as gaming and video editing, with ease. Multitasking was smooth and responsive, and I experienced very little lag during my testing period. I ran several benchmark tests (results will be added here upon completion of the testing) and they confirmed the phone’s ability to hold its own against competitors in its price range. The 120Hz refresh rate on the display makes scrolling through apps and web pages feel incredibly fluid. For daily use, this phone is consistently smooth.

Camera Performance

The triple-camera setup on the Poco F4 is a highlight. The 64MP primary sensor captures sharp, detailed images in good lighting conditions. Low-light performance is commendable though not exceptional. The 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro lenses add versatility, although the macro lens is not amongst the best I’ve ever used. Video recording capabilities are decent, offering smooth footage with good stabilization, but video quality falls slightly short of the leaders in this price range.

Battery Life & Charging

The 4500mAh battery provided consistently good battery life. With moderate usage (checking emails, social media, some gaming and listening to music), I easily made it through a full day without needing to recharge. The 67W fast charging is a lifesaver, topping up the battery significantly in a short amount of time. In my testing, the battery fully charged in around 35 minutes.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Stunning AMOLED display, Powerful processor, Smooth performance, Long battery life, Fast charging, Good camera performance in daylight, Sleek design
  • Cons: Macro camera performance could be improved, Low-light camera performance could use some optimization, Occasional minor software glitches.

Final Verdict

The Poco F4 (22021211RG) offers a compelling blend of performance, features, and value. Its vibrant display, powerful processor, and long battery life make it a great choice for most users. While there are some minor areas for improvement in the camera department and occasional software quirks, these are outweighed by the phone’s overall strengths. I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a high-performing smartphone without breaking the bank.
