what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back so poco is back with another brand
new phone the one that we have today it's called the poco x4 pro 5g this is a phone that's powered
by the snapdragon 695 that's paired with either six or eight gigs of ram you can also get this
with 128 gigs of internal storage or 256 gigs of internal storage the version that i have
has six gigs of ram and 128 gigs of internal storage and this particular device gets an
antutu benchmark score of about 385 000 so we are not looking at the slow device by any means
now i've also done a camera comparison between this phone so the poco x4 pro 5g and my iphone 13.
and if you're here and you just want to see that comparison that starts at this minute of this
video so you can skip right to that comparison all right starting the super quick unboxing of
course in the box you're gonna find a case for the device we also have the charging cable and we have
a 67 watt fast charger so even though we have a 5 000 milliamp hour battery inside this phone
charging this from zero to 100 is done in about an hour so insanely quick for a phone like this not
to mention that on one charge you can typically get between 12 and 15 hours of screen on time of
course it depends on how you use the phone but you could get up to 15 hours of screen on time on one
charge on the front of the device we have a 6.67 inches amoled screen that has a 1080p resolution
and a refresh rate of 120 hertz of course you can lower that refresh rate and if you do lower
the refresh rate you can get better battery life but it really depends what you're doing because if
you're playing games maybe it makes sense to keep that refresh rate at 120 hertz the peak
brightness for this screen is also 1200 nits so no issues seeing these um screen indirect sunlight so
for a budget friendly phone this is one of the best screens that you're gonna be able to find
this time around we get a bit of a different design now the phone looks a lot like my iphone it
looks like my iphone 13 but a bit bigger i'm gonna say so the frame around the phone is made out of
plastic there is nothing on the left hand side at the top here we have a 3.5 mil audio jack so you
could plug in some headphones we have the holes for the second speaker so you have one speaker
at the top and one speaker at the bottom the speakers do get quite loud we have the hole for a
microphone and an ir blaster so you could use this phone as a remote control for your tv just to give
you an example moving to the right hand side of the device there we have the volume buttons and
the power button as we've seen in the past this is also a fingerprint scanner and as a fingerprint
scanner it works really good it takes half a second from the time you touch it for the screen
to unlock at the bottom here we have the sim card slot so this device can take either two sim cards
or a sim card than an sd card so you're not gonna be able to use two sim cards and an sd card at the
same time we have the usbc charging port the whole for a microphone and that second speaker
that i mentioned earlier moving to the back of the device well this one looks a bit different
i'm gonna say the phone looks a bit unique not to mention that it depends how the light hits the
back the phone does look different every single time we also have the brand name on the top right
corner they're quite big i'm going to say next to the camera so the main camera is in 108 megapixel
sensor we also have an ultra white camera and a macro camera but i'm going to show you pictures
in just a bit next we're going to be talking about performance so the phone runs miui 13 that's based
on android 11 i'm not sure when it will be updated to be based on android 12 but probably in the very
near future as we've seen with many xiaomi devices in the past the phone is super speedy so no matter
what you do on it you're not gonna feel that the phone slows down so opening apps closing apps
keeping a bunch of apps running in the background even though that will depend on how much ram you
have as i mentioned earlier i have the version with six gigs of ram but most applications that
i've tried on this device so far work flawlessly without any issues so even gaming can play games
without any problems so overall really good performance for a budget friendly device
the phone also gets an nfc chip inside it and that means that you're going to be able to make
payments to the phone the gps unit inside it only takes like a second to find your location but of
course it depends if you're indoors or outdoors some for outdoors only takes about a second and we
also have a variety of sensors available so pretty decent device for a budget friendly device and
next we are going to move on and start checking out some pictures that i took with this device and
my iphone 13 and we're going to start the pictures that i took with the ultra white cameras i guess
all right so looking at the ultra white pictures that i took well the first thing you're gonna
notice here is the fact that the pictures taken by the iphone 13 are a bit wider so the field of
view is wider therefore you can see a bit more in those pictures taken by the iphone 13. for colors
i kind of prefer the colors from the poco x4 pro 5g they do seem to be a bit closer to reality
but for dynamic range and picture sharpness it seems that the iphone 13 does better mostly if
you look on the right and on the left hand side of those pictures you're gonna notice that the
pictures taken by the poco don't look that sharp so overall for the ultrawide camera of course the
iphone 13 does better moving on to some five times zoom pictures and here keep in mind that neither
device has a telephoto lens so what you're seeing is digital zoom and even though i thought the poco
x4 pro 5g would do better because we have that main camera that's 108 megapixel sensor well
it seems that most pictures taken by the iphone 13 are sharper so for five times zoom the iphone does
better than the poco x4 pro 5g and we are moving on to pictures i took with the main cameras on the
back of the two devices and for the main cameras and of course taking all the pictures on auto mode
a lot of the pictures taken by the poco x4 pro 5g are about the same or better than the iphone 13.
in some situations the iphone 13 makes those pictures look a bit too blue so it kind of takes
the blue from the sky and makes the whole picture looking blue so in a lot of those some pictures
the poco x4 pro 5g does better than the iphone 13 even though it is a much cheaper device so
for the main cameras i don't think that you can go wrong with either device so i'm gonna let you guys
watch a few more pictures and i'll be right back just before we talk about the nighttime pictures
okay next we're gonna move on and check out some pictures that i took at night so on the
poco x4 pro 5g you can only use the night mode if you are using the main camera on the back so
if you want to take pictures of the ultra white camera you cannot use the night mode so i'm only
going to show you pictures they took the main cameras and of course using the night mode on
both devices well here the iphone does do better it seems that in the situations where it's super
dark the iphone does better for those pictures but if you do have some light around yourself
whenever you take the pictures the poco x4 pro 5g doesn't do bad but of course overall the iphone 13
does better but we have to remember how much more expensive the iphone is compared to the
poco x4 pro 5g but as i said if you do have some light around you can still take decent looking
pictures with a poco x4 pro 5g all right so next we're gonna move on and check out some sample
recordings that i've done with these two devices so the maximum recording resolution on the poco
x4 pro 5g is 1080p at 30 frames per second under settings there there is no setting for
image stabilization even though those videos do seem to have some type of image stabilization
i mean they're not totally steady but there seems to be some kind of image stabilization
overall of course the iphone does better even though the internal microphone on the poco x4 pro
5g does seem to pick up the sound a bit better than the iphone 13 mostly when it's um quiet
around yourself so let me show you those sample recordings and i will be right back all right
we have a quick video test between the poco x4 pro 5g and of course the iphone 13. for this recording
i'm using the main cameras on the back of the two devices now the maximum recording resolution
for the poco x4 pro 5g with the main camera on the back is 1080p at 30 frames per second
of course with the iphone 13 we could actually do 4k at 60 frames per second even though we
don't have any settings for image stabilization on the poco x4 pro 5g it does seem that it has some
type of image stabilization enabled for um video recordings i'm just going to panel left slowly
and back right
so yeah i guess i'm gonna walk this way for a bit
just so you can see how that imi stabilization does on both devices
looking on the screens here it does look a bit more steady on the iphone 13 but we'll
have to see how this footage actually looks um on the computer so yeah 1080p
at 30 frames per second on the poco x4 pro 5g and 4k 30 frames per second on the iphone 13.
moving on to a recording with the front-facing cameras once again
the iphone 13 and the poco x4 pro 5g the maximum recording resolution for the front-facing camera
on the poco x4 pro 5g is 1080p at 30 frames per second where of course the maximum recording
resolution for the iphone 13 is 460 frames per second it is a super sunny day out today but a
bit windy so you may hear some wind aside from my voice so this whole recording down the front
facing cameras on these two devices would look like we have a quick video test between the poco
x4 pro 5g and of course the iphone 13. for this recording i'm using the main cameras
on the back of the two devices with the iphone 13 i'm recording in 4k at 30 frames per second
where the poco i'm recording in 1080p at 30 frames per second so we're gonna walk this way
nice and slow it's not totally dark out here but most people
aren't gonna film in total darkness i'm assuming
this so we can't really see anything with either device so we're gonna walk this way
so yeah this whole recording in low light between the iphone 13 and the poco x4
pro 5g would look like
so what do you guys think about those sample recordings personally i'm okay with 1080p at 30
frames per second recordings i don't really need more than that for a phone like this but i was
expecting to see better imi stabilization i feel that the previous um poco model that we had had
better image stabilization so it's definitely expecting better image stabilization that um
what we got moving on to some selfies well here dynamic range in those pictures taken by the
iphone 13 of course is better therefore most selfies taken by the iphone 13 will be better
for nighttime selfies i feel that neither device does that great but
again that was kind of to be expected now this camera comparison of course um you know that the
iphone 13 is about five times maybe four times more expensive than this so yes this was not a
fair comparison but i wanted to show you what a budget friendly device like the poco x4 pro 5g
can do when compared to a flagship so that was the main purpose of that camera comparison all right
guys hopefully you enjoyed this video thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
