The POCO F4 5G is, simply put, a competitively-priced, do-it-all phone. If you're looking for a powerful flagship model which won't put a dent in your pocket, then the F4 is a great choice.
The POCO F4 is a step or two of the competition in terms of design. From one distance, the handset appears very like its predecessor, the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus and, from the design of the camera module's rectangular shape as well as the handset's round-off corners and chamfered edges as well as the location in the POCO branding the design of the F4 is strongly influenced by the design of its cousin. However the phone's Nebula Green colourway is reminiscent of the iPhone 13's ( review) Alpine green hue and also the OnePlus 10 Pro's ( review) Forest Emerald colourway as well.
For someone who lives and breathes technology and technology, I cannot overlook the F4's similarities to similar devices. But, the average person is sure to be able to appreciate the POCO F4's style appealing to them. Indeed, many of my acquaintances praised the design of the phone as I used it as my primary driver. Furthermore, when they looked at the quality of the device's construction and build quality, they projected the handset's cost to be in the region of 40K. They were shocked when I explained that it would cost significantly less than the price. This is due to the device's all-glass design, which gives a feeling of luxury when you hold the phone. I'm ecstatic at the choice of the company to choose matte backs, since it does more than keep the smudges out but also accentuates the elegance of the Nebula green paint job. When all is said and done this POCO F4's design could have a lack of personality but the phone is as beautiful as a photo.
It is interesting to note that the company has provided its device with a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor, which is built into the device's power button. While I'm not a big fan of them, I do prefer display sensors, and as such, was extremely pleased about the functionality of the mounted side device in the POCO F4. The sensor was extremely responsive, and you can set it to allow you to unlock the phone by tapping or hitting the power button. The phone's facial recognition technology was equally quick, though it struggled to open in dimly lit conditions.
The POCO F4 phone is the latest model in a series of phones that eliminate the headphone Jack. However, on the plus side, the phone comes with a stereo sound system that can get very high in volume. Furthermore, the audio does not distort when played at high volume levels this is a great thing. For the remaining I/O device, it comes with the USB Type-C port located at the bottom to charge and an IR blaster on the at the top.
It's not unusual for smartphone manufacturers to equip their devices with LCD screens to accommodate an elite chipset. However, the POCO F4 is a break to the standard and comes with stunning E4 AMOLED panel which measures 6.67-inches as well as refreshes with 120 Hz. The display is fully protected with Corning's Gorilla Glass v5 as well and the screen is incredibly bright at 1,300 nits as well. Fortunately Delhi's climate has proven a blessing and I haven't required to move the brightness switch to the left.But I'm not in any doubt that the panel can perform best in very bright environments also. Furthermore, the phone is equipped fully equipped with WideVine L1 certificate and even transmit HDR content in Dolby Vision as well as HDR10 through OTT services such as Netflix. This is a feat of engineering, considering the majority of devices only support HDR10 playback.With Dolby Vision Media encoded in HDR can automatically adjust to fit on the F4's screen and provide the best possible movie watching experience. If you prefer to be more active than you do films, you'll delight in the display's nimble speed of sampling at 360Hz. This ensures that every swipe and gesture are immediately interpreted.
The POCO F4 is powered by it's Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor which runs in conjunction with fast LPDDR5 memory as well as UFS 3.1 storage. In case you've been living in a cave it's this Snapdragon 870 is one of the most powerful mobile processors, and it can run almost of, if not all, games with the most powerful quality graphics as well as FPS settings. In addition that, the POCO F4 runs BGMI in HDR graphics as well as Extreme FPS settings. Furthermore, the phone can maximize both graphics as well as FPS settings for both Apex Legends Mobile, as well as Call of Duty Mobile too. The handset is more than competent at handling everyday tasks too. In actuality, I haven't encountered any slowing down while using my phone for my daily driving Apps opened fast and games performed flawlessly. UI animations and transitions were fluid, and the phone was able to maintain a steady temperature as well.
In actual fact, the smartphone beat extremely high scores for CPU stress-testing programs like CPU Throttle test as well as 3D Mark. For instance that, despite being loaded by 20 concurrent threads device reduced its throttle to just the 89 percent mark of its maximum performance during testing the throttle of CPU. The device also scored 90 percent stability when it ran 3D Mark's stress test. In conclusion, the POCO F4 won't let you down in terms of performance. In terms of battery backup it is the POCO F4 is equipped with a cell that is 4,500mAh, which will last for a whole day of moderate use. However, the phone has a 67W charging brick that comes in the box, and therefore, you will be able recharge the phone in not a moment.In terms of software, the phone runs Android 12 straight from the box, with an os skin that runs MIUI v13 over it. It's not like the other Xiaomi or Redmi phones that are branded with the company's name, handsets that are part of the POCO stables typically come with less software bloatware. Furthermore, the phones come with the POCO launcher, which is the company's POCO launcher that comes with added features like support for third-party icon packs, for example. In all honesty, I would have preferred to see lesser bloatware in the POCO F4, which at the moment is loaded with a variety of applications from Xiaomi such as Mi Credit Mi Pay, and more. In spite of that the POCO F4's user experience was good enough.
It's the same regarding the camera on the phone also. Before I go into detail about the phone's camera's performance we'll take a closer glance at the specifications available. For instance, the POCO F4 has an OIS-enabled 64MP OmniVision primary sensor. It includes an ultrawide sensor of 8MP and an 2MP macro sensor. To take selfies, the phone comes with a 20MP Sony sensor in the on the front.Under optimal lighting conditions The POCO F4 is able to capture amazing photos with it's main sensor. Look at the daylight pictures to the slider below you'll see that each photo is filled with vibrant bright colors and plenty of details. The frames provide adequate sharpness, too. the phone has managed to keep from the background noise that is leaking into the corners too. In spite of that it's dynamic range of the camera leaves something to be left to be desired. In reality, I noticed that F4 captured images had high contrast and, consequently you'll notice that darker areas appear to be overtly dark in some photos.
I also noticed that the sensor had a hard time keeping bright colors in check. In this case when you zoom into the closer view of the flower in the slider above, you'll see that the petals seem to blend into one another . The orange hue appears to be a little scattered at a close-up. However, that doesn't mean that the phone doesn't take bad close-ups. However the close-up of the maroon bloom appears rather elegant, and the sensor is able to capture the finer details of the flower's buds admirably. However the camera's post-processing capability could use some tweaks to get better results.The ultrawide photos taken from the phone, on other hand, are not anything to boast about. While you'll enjoy the wider views, the images provide poor sharpness in the corners. Furthermore, the photos look rather grainy when you are an even smaller crop. In terms of lowlight it's true that the F4 can squeeze decent detail from dimly lit scenes even using the night mode option turned off. However, with the feature enabled the phone was able to reveal an authentic range of colors to the scene. It's also helpful that the night mode function increases the overall brightness of the scene, which opens the way for a better rich and detailed shot. The camera for selfies however isn't able to match the subject's skin tone in a proper manner. While the photos appear sharp however, the subject's skin tone appears to be a little dull. In terms of video it can shoot videos the resolution of up to 4K and 60FPS. I recorded a number of 1080p60fps videos using the device and was content with the results. Particularly, the videos provided adequate stability and decent exposure meters.
The POCO F4 retails at 27,999, and for that price, ticks all the boxes. When you factor into the numerous deals that are available, the F4 is available at a price of as low as 23,999. That's a bit baffling to say the least. In short, the phone has a stunning display, a blazingly quick processor, and an impressive main camera. Additionally, the phone is quick to charge and has a feature-rich customized skin.The phone is, of course, equipped with similar specs to the newly introduced the iQOO Neo6 ( review) that raises the question if the POCO F4 the better choice? It's true it isn't as clear in black and white as I'd prefer to think it is. The iQOO Neo 6 comes with a lot to offer and it has a the fastest 80W wired charging. However, I enjoyed photographs taken by the primary sensor of the F4 more. Additionally, the POCO offering permits users to use Dolby Vision HDR on OTT services such as Netflix as well. You'll also find additional options for customisation with its MIUI interface, too. It's enough to say that it's tough to pick an obvious winner in this case, however should I be being you choose the POCO F4 with a single click.
