Unboxing the Poco X4 Pro 5G, which packs similar specs, camera tech and performance to Xiaomi's Redmi Note 11 Pro. This hands-on review runs through the features of the Poco X4 Pro, with a Genshin Impact gaming test, photo and video samples and more.

So first up, yes, the specification of this budget smartphone is very similar (near identical in fact) to the premium Redmi Note 11 handset from earlier in 2022. This blower is aimed at more demanding users on a strict limit, with the Snapdragon 695 once again proving a worthy SoC for gamers. Certianly PubG, CoD Mobile and other Android titles play perfectly.

You have a 108MP camera slapped on the back of the Poco X4 Pro 5G, which can capture crisp photos but only FHD video. Battery life is strong, courtesy of the 5000mAh cell with Turbo Charge support. You also get Xiaomi's MiUI 13 launcher, albeit on top of older Android 11 OS.

So are you tempted? Check out my reviews of Poco X4 Pro's biggest rivals, and my round-ups of the best budget phones of 2022 under £300.
