POCO continues its quest to bring super interesting devices at affordable prices. And taking advantage of the fury that an event like the Mobile World Congress 2022 represents, it has presented the Poco X4 Pro, the next step of the best-selling POCO X3 Pro.
The new POCO X4 Pro 5G arrives to be a new benchmark for value for money. Of course: it takes a step back in raw power by incorporating the Snapdragon 695 processor, slightly less powerful than its predecessor’s Snapdragon 860, despite being more modern.
