POCO M4 Pro 4G
POCO had launched the POCO M4 Pro 5G back in November last year, however the brand is yet to unveil the device in India. Now, it seems that the company is working on the 4G variant of the POCO M4 Pro and it could be a rebrand of the Redmi Note 11S.
The POCO M4 Pro 4G will feature a 90Hz AMOLED display. The smartphone will be driven by a Mediatek chipset, but the exact chip name is yet to be unveiled. On the front, the device will have a 13MP camera. The POCO M4 Pro 4G will house a 108MP triple camera setup accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro sensor. It will boot Android 11 with MIUI 13 out of the box. The device will be offered in three storage variants – 6GB+64GB, 6GB+128GB, and 8GB+128GB.
Expected Price in India
The POCO M4 Pro 4G is expected to be priced between Rs 13,000-Rs 15,000 in India. However, there is no concrete information about the pricing details of the upcoming smartphone.
Expected Launch Date in India
The POCO M4 Pro 4G recently bagged NBTC certification hinting that the device will launch very soon. We can expect the device to launch in late January or early February 2022.
POCO X4 Pro
POCO X3 Pro was launched in 2021 as a powerful gaming device priced under Rs 20,000. The device is still the best gaming phone under Rs 20,000 in India. Users are now waiting for the successor of the POCO X3 Pro i.e. the POCO X4 Pro. While the company has not officially mentioned anything about the device, we can expect it to launch later this year. The specs of the POCO X4 Pro remain unknown but we should learn about it as soon as it is listed on a certification website. The POCO X3 Pro featured the Snapdragon 860 SoC under the hood so we can expect the POCO X4 Pro to pack the upgraded Snapdragon 870 SoC.
Expected Price in India
The pricing of the POCO X4 Pro remains unknown at the moment but since the POCO X3 Pro was launched under Rs 20,000, the POCO X4 Pro could be priced under Rs 25,000 in India.
Expected Launch Date in India
A previous report has mentioned that the POCO X4 series will be launched in Q1 2022, so we can expect the POCO X4 Pro to be launched then. However, there is no exact launch date for the POCO X4 Pro yet.

POCO X4 5G/ X4 5G NFC
POCO is expected to launch the POCO X4 and POCO X4 NFC very soon. Both devices are the same, however POCO launched the POCO X3 as the POCO X3 NFC globally so we can expect the POCO X4 to be launched as POCO X4 NFC globally. The device was spotted on IMEI certification back in November 2021 confirming the device is in the works. The POCO X4 will be a 5G device.
The POCO X4 5G has now visited the FCC certification which hints that the device could be a rebrand of the Redmi Note 11T Pro. The handset will come in three configurations – 6GB + 64GB, 6GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 128GB. The handset will be equipped with a 4,900mAh battery and support 67W fast charging. It will boot MIUI 13 out of the box.
Expected Price in India
The pricing of the POCO X4 5G is currently unknown at the moment but we can expect the POCo X4 5G to be priced under Rs 25,000 in India.
Expected Launch Date in India
As previously mentioned, the POCO X4 series will be launched in Q1 2022, so we can expect the POCO X4 5G to be launched before Q1 2022. But there is no exact launch date for the POCO X4 5G yet.
