For several weeks, I’ve been putting the Poco M4 Pro 4G Dual SIM (M4PROCOOLBLUE) through its paces. This review covers my experience with the Cool Blue 6GB RAM + 128GB model, the global version, focusing on everyday usability, performance under pressure, and overall value for money.

This phone promises a lot: a vibrant AMOLED display, long battery life, a capable camera system, and snappy performance. But does it deliver on these promises? Let’s dive in.

Key Features

The Poco M4 Pro 4G boasts a sleek design and a comfortable feel in hand. Its 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate is a highlight, making scrolling and gaming a smooth experience. The 5000mAh battery easily lasted me two days with moderate usage, and the 33W fast charging is a welcome addition, topping it up quickly.

The phone also includes features like Turbo RAM, which dynamically allocates unused storage as RAM, and a respectable camera setup featuring a 64MP main lens, along with supporting lenses. It runs on MIUI 13 based on Android 11.

Performance & Battery Life

Powered by the MediaTek Helio G96 processor, the Poco M4 Pro 4G handled daily tasks with ease. Browsing, social media, and light gaming were all smooth and responsive. Even more demanding games ran without major lag, though some frame drops were noticeable during extended play sessions. The 6GB RAM proved sufficient for multitasking, allowing me to switch between apps without issue.

The 5000mAh battery is a real strength. I consistently achieved over two days of use on a single charge, even with moderate gaming and video streaming. The 33W fast charging lived up to its promise, consistently getting me to 100% in under an hour.

Camera Performance

The Poco M4 Pro 4G’s camera system delivers decent results in good lighting conditions. The 64MP main sensor captures sharp and detailed images. However, low-light performance could be improved. Images taken in low light showed more noise than I’d have liked. The 16MP front camera produced acceptable selfies.

Video recording at 1080p was generally smooth, but stabilization could be better, especially when shooting while walking.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent battery life, vibrant AMOLED display, smooth performance for everyday tasks, fast charging, attractive design.
• Cons: Low-light camera performance could be better, some frame drops in demanding games, average video stabilization.

Final Verdict

The Poco M4 Pro 4G (M4PROCOOLBLUE) offers impressive value for money. The long battery life, vibrant display, and decent performance make it a solid choice for users who prioritize these features. While the camera isn’t top-tier, especially in low light, it’s perfectly acceptable for everyday use. If you’re looking for a phone with great battery life and a beautiful display without breaking the bank, the Poco M4 Pro 4G is definitely worth considering.
