The Xiaomi Poco F4 and Poco X4 GT have been officially announced for France. Here's everything you need to know about these smartphones that promise great power at an affordable price.
If you thought Xiaomi had no more smartphones to launch before the summer, you were kidding yourself. The brand is still as active as ever, and too bad for those who get lost in the manufacturer's extremely dense catalog. Here are two new devices announced for France: the Poco F4 and Poco X4 GT.
Remember that the Poco F4 and X4 GT had already been the subject of a major leak and therefore no longer had many secrets. Anyway, the official announcement now helps to corroborate what was known about them.
XIAOMI POCO F4: THE STAR OF THE SUMMER
Let's start with the most highlighted one, the Xiaomi Poco F4. This is aimed a little more at the general public than the recent Poco F4 GT, which is very gaming-oriented with its triggers. Here, the Poco F4 is less off the beaten track with a more classic format. It nevertheless remains true to the DNA of this product line, namely: a " concentrated power " for an affordable price.
It must be said that it embeds a Snapdragon 870 and benefits from " the highest frequency range for a Poco smartphone, at 3.2 GHz". Add to that a vapor chamber to prevent overheating, LPDDR5 RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage.
For the rest, you have to deal with a fairly classic look: screen pierced with a central bubble, flat edges, and a fairly imposing rectangular photo module at the back in the upper left corner.
The Xiaomi Poco F4 is entitled to a 6.67-inch AMOLED and Full HD + screen with a 120 Hz mode. The panel is also protected by Gorilla Glass 5 glass. The three rear cameras offer the configuration below. after :
-64 megapixel main sensor (f/1.79);
-8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle (f/2.2);
-sensor with 2-megapixel macro lens (f / 2.4).
At the front, selfies are taken care of by a 20-megapixel (f/2.45) camera. Now let's move on to the other advantage of the Poco F4, its fast charging. With a 67W block, the 4500mAh battery is said to go from 0 to 100% power in 38 minutes.
XIAOMI POCO X4 GT: SOME DIFFERENCES TO KNOW
The other smartphone announced by Xiaomi is called " Poco X4 GT ". Aesthetically, it stands out from the Poco F4 in a few details. It is thicker (8.87 against 7.7 mm), and heavier (200 against 195 grams) and its rear photo module does not have the same look.
Beyond that, the Xiaomi Poco X4 GT has also chosen a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 engraved in 5 nm (against 7 nm for the SD870). It also does not adopt the same display technology as a 6.6-inch LCD screen. The latter remains in Full HD + but goes up to 144 Hz for fluidity.
