Bargain – The Poco M4 Pro 5G 256 GB smartphone for €196.38 (-20%)

The Poco (Xiaomi) brand, specialized in entry-level smartphones, is back today with the Poco M4 Pro. A 5G device that does not lack advantages and that is determined to become a benchmark in this price segment in 2022.

The Poco M4 Pro is an affordable and pleasant-to-use smartphone. It has a good LCD screen – once calibrated – and a very decent battery life. Its chip allows for a smooth multitasking experience, but it quickly shows its limitations when it comes to video games. Photo performance is limited, but suitable for occasional use in good light conditions. The competition is serious, but this Poco M4 Pro remains a solid choice around €200.

alternative

After a lackluster Note 10 series, Xiaomi recovers with this Redmi Note 11. The entry-level smartphone from the Chinese company is a good offer for those who need a terminal that can do everything without necessarily being overwhelming. Without working miracles, this model corrects a passable proportion of photos from the predecessor and offers a good Oled panel. Finally, its autonomy at 60 Hz or 90 Hz is very correct.
