Introduction

The Poco M4 Pro 4G (M4BLACK256) with its 8GB RAM and 256GB storage arrived with promises of a powerful and feature-rich experience. After weeks of rigorous testing, including everyday use, gaming, and photography, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This global version impressed me in several areas, but it also has some drawbacks. Let’s dive in.

Key Features

The Poco M4 Pro boasts a stunning 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The vibrant colors and smooth scrolling are immediately noticeable. The 64MP main camera, coupled with additional lenses, offers versatile photography capabilities. The 5000mAh battery, combined with fast charging, ensures all-day usage. The sleek design and comfortable weight add to the overall appeal. The MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor keeps the device responsive and smooth, handling daily tasks and light gaming with ease. The inclusion of 8GB of RAM is a nice touch for multitasking. The Android 11 operating system provides a familiar and intuitive user experience.

Performance & Battery Life

While it’s not a top-tier gaming processor, it can handle most mobile games smoothly at medium settings. Battery life is exceptional. The 5000mAh battery comfortably lasts a full day, even with heavy use. The fast charging is also a welcome feature, quickly topping up the battery when needed. However, I did notice some minor heating during extended gaming sessions, which is not uncommon for mid-range devices.
