what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the differences between the latest two devices that we got from poco so the poco x4 pro and the
poco m4 pro first of all the poco x4 pro is a 5g capable device where this one the poco m4
pro is only a 4g device so if 5g is important for you probably the x4 pro may be the better
choice for you now price wise the poco x4 pro is also a bit more expensive so this one is about
80 euros more expensive than the poco m4 pro even though the differences between the two aren't that
big so let's start with the super quick unboxing so i can show you what comes in the boxes first
all right so in each box you're gonna find a clear case for your device this is a silicon
case but definitely a nice addition because this you don't have to spend extra money for cases we
also have a usb a to a usbc cable in each box and then we get them fast chargers now with the poco
x4 pro 5g you get a 67 watt fast charger where the poco m4 pro we get a 33 watt fast charger
now both devices have 5 000 milliamp hour batteries inside but this one so the poco x4
pro 5g charging it from zero to 100 is done about 48 to 50 minutes where this one is done in about
65 to 70 minutes so you do get somewhat slightly faster charging on the poco x4 pro
now for battery life as i said they both have five thousand million power batteries and they can both
get between 12 and 15 hours of screen on time so both devices will do really good for battery life
moving on to build quality and weights so the poco x4 pro of course is a bit larger this one weights
205 grams or the poco m4 pro weights 179 grams so this one is a bit lighter now on the backs here we
get glass with the poco x4 pro also when you move this it does look super cool when compared to the
m4 pro that doesn't look as cool when you move it like that so you do get a more premium looking
device with a poco x forum pro now the frames on both devices are made out of plastics so even
though this one is a bit thinner so the m4 pro is a bit thinner i kind of prefer the way the x4 pro
feels in hand but other than that there isn't much difference in between the two so this one does
look a bit more premium and it also feels a bit more premium mostly because of that glass on the
back turning the phones around here we have a 6.67 inches amoled screen the 1080p resolution where
here we have a 6.43 inches amoled screen with the 1080p resolution with this one we also get
hertz refresh rate or this one we get 90 hertz refreshing of course you can change that from
setting so if we go to display and display here you can change the refresh rate so we have 120
and we have 90 here i'm kind of wondering why they haven't included 90 hertz on this one as well but
overall not a big difference for the screens they both have the same um brightness so 700 needs some
brightness but this one has a peak brightness of 1200 nits or this one has a big brightness of
a thousand nits but overall they're both really good looking screen so i can't really say anything
bad about these screens the front-facing cameras are positioned in the exact same spot on both
devices they both have these silver rings around those some cameras and they're both 16 megapixel
sensors and i'm going to show you some sample pictures later on in the video turning the phones
around here you're gonna find three cameras on the back of each device so the ultra white
camera and the macro camera are the same on both devices but the main cameras are different so the
poco x4 pro we get the 108 megapixel sensor where the poco m4 pro we get a 64 megapixel
sensor as i mentioned earlier the frames on both devices are made out of plastic now we are looking
at the top side of both devices they both have a 3.5 mil audio jack and they both have a second
speaker so you get the one speaker at the top and one at the bottom we also have a second microphone
there and an ir blaster so they both can be used as remote controls and next i want to show you a
quick example just so you can hear the speakers and figure out for yourself if one sounds better
than the other one for me it seems that the x4 pro sounds slightly better mostly because it has
more bass i'm gonna say it seems a bit fuller so let me show you a quick um
sample recording just so you can see how they both sound okay so we're gonna start with the x4 pro
so i feel that the poco x4 pro 5g does sound better out of the two and going back to the
phone's frames here on the right hand side we have the volume buttons and the power buttons and the
power buttons are also fingerprint scanner and let me position these but it seems that the m4 pro is
slightly faster to unlock the phone when you touch that fingerprint scanner so let me position them
up the right way and i'll show you what i mean so i'm gonna try to touch them at the exact same time
most of the time it seems that the m4 pro is slightly faster unless i'm just touching that
fingerprint scanner a bit faster but it almost seems like the m4 pro is a bit faster well not
that time and going back to the phones at the bottom here we have that second speaker that we've
seen on and tried earlier we have the hole for a microphone the whole for a microphone is um
there on the other phone we have the usbc port and with this on the x4 pro we have the sim card slot
at the bottom now with the x4 pro you can only use um two sim cards at the same time or a sim
card and an sd card at the same time with the poco m4 pro this one has the sim card slot um
on the left hand side here so this one you can actually use two sim cards and an sd
card at the same time okay so next i'm gonna show you some pictures and videos
that i took with both devices the maximum recording resolution for both devices is 1080p
at 30 frames per second with the main camera and the ultra wide camera so neither device
gets um 1080p at 60 or 4k recordings i was kind of hoping that the x4 pro would get
higher resolution for the recordings button no 1080p at 30 frames per second with the camera apps
on both devices we don't actually get any settings for image stabilization so you cannot turn that
on or off as we could with miui 12 so now it seems that the image stabilization there is available um
cannot be controlled so you cannot turn it on or off and it almost looks like the m4 pro does
better for that image stabilization but i'll let you guys watch those pictures and videos and
definitely leave a comment down below and let me know your thoughts about those pictures and videos
all right we have a quick video test between the poco x4 pro 5g and the poco
m4 pro so the maximum recording resolutions that you can do with these two devices
is 1080p at 30 frames per second so neither device can do 1080p at 60 frames per second
and if you go in the camera app under settings there are no settings for image stabilization
for either device now the x4 pro does seem um to have some type of image stabilization but
we'll see how this footage looks on the computer so i'm just gonna walk straight
actually looking on the screens here the m4 pro
does seem to be a bit steadier but again i'll have to see this footage
on the computer to compare them um better so i guess we'll turn right this way
so yeah this is how recording with these two devices would look like on a non-sunny day and
a bit of a windy day recording the main cameras and as i said 1080p at 30 frames per second
performance wise we have the snapdragon 695 in the poco x4 pro 5g and the mediatek helio g96
in the poco m4 pro and if we open um the antutu benchmark here so let's open it on both devices
so we get the score of 385 000 on this one and about 305 000 on the m4 pro
and let's find the geekbench 5 i believe i have it somewhere here so here we get the multi-core score
of 2071 and a multi-core score of 1838 now even though this one gets a higher score so the x4 pro
i haven't actually noticed a difference in performance in between the two so no matter if
you're scrolling from one screen um to the other one or if you're playing games i haven't really
noticed um a difference keep in mind that the screen on this one has a high refresh rate so it
also seems a bit smoother but personally i haven't really noticed a difference in performance in
between these two both devices have 6 gigs of ram and 128 gigs of internal storage and talking about
that internal storage even the reading and writing speeds for the internal storage it's kind of
similar on the x4 pro 5g and on the m4 pro and let me zoom in on that a bit so you can see it better
just to give you a bit of an example for the gaming performance so this is the poco m4 pro
if we swipe left here at the top you can see the current frame rates so we have 57
frames per second the moment so we'll do that again so about 58 now so i'll show you the
difference that um you'll get with the other one so the poco x4 pro that one typically gets about
60 frames per second so not not that much of a difference this one is um 58 the other one
is about 60. so let me do that again so 59 right now okay so now i switch to the
x4 pro and i'm going to show you the frame rate in just a second so 47 right now but
let me oh it got to 60 let me just um run for a bit let me go outside we'll lock this
so 60 frames per second with this one as well so really no difference for the gaming performance
even though this one the x4 pro does get a higher antutu benchmark score and of
course they both run miui 13 which is based on android 11 however the m4 pro actually got them
two updates since i got it my x4 pro only got them one update done since i got it but i'm
sure that they will get updates in the future because poco and xiaomi typically send a lot of
updates over time so yeah aside from the bigger screen and the somewhat faster charging that
we get on the poco x4 pro there isn't that much difference in between these two devices in my um
opinion what do you guys think is it worth spending the extra 80 euros to buy the x4 pro when
you could buy the m4 pro for a bit less definitely leave a comment down below and let me know
