Welcome. In front of me, I have the Poco M4 Pro and I would normally say that this is a brand new phone
0:13
Let's be honest, it's been released a month ago, so it's not necessarily the newest one, but in terms of being packaged it is
0:21
So yeah, let's just jump straight to it. I'm going to go over unboxing along with a quick overview of the features of this device and just a price tag
0:29
So just pop it open. There we go. You need that to the side and let's pop it open
0:45
So, Poco, not much here. I'm pretty sure there is a case in here
0:51
It's show me, so, yep, there's a case. We also have some stickers if you want to slap those anywhere
0:57
Like, bam. and here, paperwork, I'll just eat that to the side
1:08
Here we get a nice case, clear one, fully clear. Let's take out the phone
1:20
Oh wow, we actually get a charter for this. Holy crap, that's actually nice
1:25
Now before I go into the charger, cable right here, it's type C2 type A
1:29
And the charger is also nothing to scuff about. It's a 33 watt charger which you can see right over here so..
1:38
Damn, that's actually really nice. To be honest surprise, I... Like I wasn't even expecting a charger and especially in this price, not a 33 watt charger. Samsung
1:52
So yeah. So, let's power it on
2:09
So while it's turning on, I'm going to quickly go over the display right here, so
2:13
this is an IPSLC2 display with a 1080p by 2,400 resolution, 6.6 inch display, 90 Hz refresh rate
2:21
and a typical brightness of about 450 nets. So to be fair, this is fairly mediocre, nothing really special here
2:28
On the bike if we look right now, as you can see we have a double camera setup
2:36
What the heck is this? Yeah it looks like that double camera setup but for some reason it has way more circles than it needs So we have a circle for AI
2:52
There's nothing underneath here. We have circle for whatever the heck this is
2:56
It might look like an LED notification, but I'm just guessing. We got a camera, we got a flash, and then we got another camera
3:03
So technically we only have two cameras, but for God's sakes, we got five different little circles to imitate cameras
3:10
not sure why it's just absolutely stupid if you're planning to also put this amount of like
3:18
cameras at the back for goodness sake make it symmetrical so that phone don't wobble
3:26
so yeah a little bit disappointed with this one to be honest
3:30
in terms of the camera setup and overall the cameras because in terms of the cameras we only have like a
3:36
only it is a 50 megapixel sensor 8 megapixel ultra wide and at the front we got a 16 megapixel wide so yeah it's a little bit
3:45
underwhelming considering what we can see at the back it looks like it actually
3:51
tries to try to imitate the me 11 Ultra with this huge girth at the back
3:59
but it also had a display right here instead of a POCA logo I just quickly finish this up
4:10
So, continuing with the actual phone, in terms of internals in here
4:16
we get a couple different versions in terms of RAM. We have four and six versions
4:22
and also with those, we have two different storage versions. We have 64 gigabyte storage
4:27
and also 1208 gigabyte storage. Obviously, depending, if you go for the lower one
4:33
you get also less RAM. With 120, you get 6 gigs RAM. So, yeah
4:39
And both of those, boost the UFS 2.2 storage so it should be good enough. This is a I would say mid-range device
4:47
approaching something like a budget to be honest it comes around like 200 and like 60 70 euros so
4:57
yeah so it honestly for the price this seems to be doing okay. Now additionally unlike I
5:07
believe previous polo phones this is not a running on Snapdragon. This is running on Dimensity 810 5G and in terms of
5:17
comparing it to as an example Snapdragon 88 just as a kick this process is
5:23
basically being like the Snapdragon is more than twice as fast as this thing So this should give you a brief understanding maybe how good this is in comparison to like the top flagship processor right now
5:40
It's loading apps right now. Okay, so while this is loading up, so I'm going to continue with the actual internals
5:49
Here we have a 50,000 million-power battery with a 33-watt charger. This should be charging fairly quickly
5:55
which is really nice. They advertise that you can charge up to full
6:00
from basically full dead in 59 minutes. So an hour to full charge
6:07
Not necessarily the fastest, but then for a phone that is at this price range, this is quite impressive, I would say
6:17
So now we actually get a look at the phone being set up
6:20
and oh my goodness, that was actually really slow. and this is also maxed brightness
6:32
This is a little bit underwhelming brightness, to be honest. It's right now maxed out, and even though I do have lights set up around here
6:42
it is dimmer than I usually record in. And, yeah, the camera isn't being, like, overexposed right now
6:51
or maybe just a bit. But, yeah, this is not the bright
6:55
screen. So that's a little bit of a shame. Anyway, I'm gonna now see what kind of
7:02
expendable storage we're looking at here. Something tells me it's none. Oh no, there we go
7:10
So we have a SD card and SIM card tray, so that's nice. And additionally, you can use two SIM cards instead if you want to
7:17
So we can expand the storage that's as well. So yeah, another more to say about the specs of this device
7:25
In terms of the design, this one has this kind of like matte finish
7:29
You can kind of see it on the camera. There is no bump right here, just all color
7:37
It's honestly, it doesn't really tickle my pickle. It's a little bit, it's a little bit of a letdown
7:47
Usually the Poco phones looked a little bit better. This is just, this is plastic back
7:55
It looks like aluminium frame, fingerprint, sensor on the side. And it just looks kind of cheap
8:02
Truth be told, it is not necessarily the most expensive device coming at like 260 euros
8:08
but I would expect a little bit more for the price. Considering it can get a really really good device from Google now the pixel the new pixels obviously there will be more expensive but boy do they look way better than this and they do something
8:22
that I absolutely adore which is put a camera that is like long sideways in the middle so your phone
8:29
don't wobble I don't know why not why every company doesn't do this like having laying your
8:36
phone flat and not having it wobble when you're trying to talk like interact with the screen when it's laying flat
8:41
It's kind of annoying when it does this, but when it's laying flat and doesn't actually wobble, oh, that is so good
8:50
So yeah, I want more to say about this. It's a mid-range... flat, not flagship, what am I saying
8:55
It's a mid-range phone, close to, like, budget, to be honest. It performs, as you would expect
9:03
It has 90 hertz refresh rate, so that is one of the good things
9:06
though I believe even POCO themselves make a better version of this
9:13
a little bit outdated but still I believe it might be more powerful than this
9:18
I would need to check because they were still running on Snapdragons
9:21
and they were a little bit higher spec than this this is like the budget version of POCO
9:27
which kind of defeats the brand to be honest it's having a little bit of a
9:31
identity crisis because from what I remember the Poco brand was kind of like a flagship killer on a budget
9:41
Similar to what One Plus tried to do, but they switched. This was, I guess, the continuation from a different company
9:48
being a really decent phone for a really good price. Now, they weren't absolutely flagships with like the top specs
9:56
but they were doing really well. And this seems like a budget version of this
10:00
making the entire brand of Poco kind of useless, in my opinion. So yeah, so at the end of the day, considering the older of Pocos were
10:11
might have been a little bit more powerful, you might want to look into that though
10:15
don't take my word on it, I'm just kind of assuming right now, they usually would cost more but considering they are right now like the year outdated
10:24
probably, they might be at about the same price for better performance
10:28
So I do recommend you to look into that one instead and just make sure that that is not the case
10:35
But other than that, it's just a mediocre phone. That's basically as good as I can describe it
10:43
