Both the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC and the X3 Pro impressed us with their good features, performance and attractive prices, so expectations were high when word of a successor came out.
The Poco X4 Pro debuted at Mobile World Congress in 2022, and it hopes to capture the same magic as its predecessors by introducing a new design and focus change. Here is everything you need to know.
When Will The Xiaomi Poco X4 Go On Sale?
On February 21, Pocophone announced that it will present the Poco X4 Pro 5G (along with bringing the Poco M4 Pro 5G to new markets) at Mobile World Congress on February 28 at 13:00 (12:00 GMT).
At the presentation of the phone, the Pocophone X4 Pro confirmed that 5G will go on sale from March 2. The company’s Indian arm has committed to releasing a regional version at 12:00 local time on March 28 and has marked Flipkart as its retail partner.

GSMArena previously said it had received advice that the Poco X4 NFC will launch in the first quarter of 2022, leaving the door open for that, and that the X4 GT will join the Pro at the MWC presentation; the standard X4 will be available in India without NFC and the X4 GT will never come to the subcontinent.
There is also talk of the Poco X4 5G, which could be an alternative name for X4 NFC or a separate model. It is now certified by Thailand’s NBTC; With model number 2201116PG.
How much is the Xiaomi Poco X4
6GB RAM / 128GB Poco X4 Pro 5G €299.99 (about £250 / $335), higher 8GB RAM / 256GB SKU for €349.99 (about £290 / $390) translated) at a price; this makes the latest Pro a touch more expensive than its predecessor. This is most likely the result of 5G being introduced from the very beginning.
In Europe, you can choose the Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G from Pocophone’s own site. UK prices and availability of the X4 Pro 5G are yet to be confirmed, but the phone has already been featured on the company’s UK website.
For reference, here are the previous entries in the series:
- Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC – £199/€209/$229
- Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro – £229/€249/$249
- Poco X3 GT – £249/$279/€299
What Features Does The Xiaomi Poco X4 Offer?
As the only official member of the X4 series at the moment, we only have confirmed specs for the Pro 5G, the Indian version could potentially bring a slightly different device to the table.
The phone combines a new flat-edge design available in three colors: Poco Yellow, Laser Blue and Laser Black. It also has a different, wide camera module that controls the width of the back and is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 chipset.
