Comparison POCO M4 Pro 5G vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G vs Realme 8 5G vs Galaxy A22 5G

One of the most anticipated economic motives of recent times is official: the POCO M4 Pro 5G, which succeeds one of the cheapest 5G mobiles to date, the POCO M3 Pro.

Six months later, the cheap 5G mobile landscape is more competitive than ever. To check how the POCO M4 Pro vs its competitors, we compared it with similar terminals: Realme 8 5G, Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G, Samsung Galaxy A22 5G, Moto G50, OPPO A54 5G and OnePlus Nord N10.

Screens at the same time

The POCO M4 Pro mounts a screen virtually identical to that of its predecessor except for two details. The first, that the diagonal rises almost imperceptibly to 6.6 inches; the second, that in addition to the refresh rate of 90 Hz, the touch response speed it also increases, up to 240 Hz.

Although back in the days of the POCO M3 Pro – which seems a long time ago, but that’s basically six months ago – it was very strange to find 5G mobiles that increased the refresh rate like the POCO, today. it has become the norm. 90 Hz are present in most alternatives, except the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G. Of course, the improved tactile response remains the exception: it is only increased by the POCO M4 Pro and the OPPO A54 5G.

Another aspect that everyone agrees on is to use an LCD panel, solving the problem of the front camera with a perforation in most cases. The only representatives of the notch still standing are the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G and the Moto G50. Of course, not all perforations are the same: the POCO M4 Pro perforates the front camera in the center, just like the Redmi Note 10 5G. The rest pierce it in a corner of the screen.

The fastest fast charge

Speaking of processors, in the price range of the POCO M4 Pro it is normal to find mto the representation of MediaTek than Snapdragon, which is present in three of the alternatives: the Moto G50 and the OPPO A54 5G with Snapdragon 480 and the OnePlus Nord N10, with Snapdragon 690.

The POCO M4 Pro meanwhile mounts the MediaTek dimension 810, which was officially unveiled in August. Being so recent, today the mobiles which include it can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The alternatives with MediaTek (Redmi Note 10, Realme 8 5G, Samsung Galaxy A22 5G) remain in the Dimensity 700, with a lower clock speed.

At the battery level, it seems that the industry has found the balance point in capacity at 5,000 mAh, a figure present in the POCO M4 Pro and all its competitors except the OnePlus Nord N10, which has a battery of 4,300. mAh. Similar capacity, but the fastest fast charge is for the POCO M4 Pro and its 33W. The Nord N10 is on its heels with the 30W load, but the rest remains at 15W or 18W.

Lots of modulus and few lenses

POCO has always been a bit special with the design of its terminals, which often affects the camera module. It’s an open secret that the POCO M4 Pro is essentially a Redmi Note 11 5G with a camera module that seems to have no end. It’s big and has a lot of elements, but the reality is a little simpler: it has a Dual 50-megapixel camera and 8-megapixel wide-angle.

It’s a somewhat different combination than what we’re used to, where the usual thing is that a macro, monochrome or portrait mode sensor also appears, which is not present in the POCO M4 Pro. This is not necessarily a bad thing, and we will have to wait for the analyzes to see what the POCO M4 Pro’s camera is capable of, but it certainly stands out from the competition.

On the front camera, the POCO M4 Pro includes a 16 megapixel lens, which matches the resolution of the Realme 8 5G, OPPO A54 5G, and OnePlus Nord N10, although it doubles the 8-megapixel selfie camera of the Redmi Note 10 5G and Samsung Galaxy A22 5G.

An interesting detail of the POCO M4 Pro is that again includes stereo speakers, something that is quite difficult to find in its price range. Of the phones in our comparison, it is only found in the OnePlus Nord N10, which launched with a higher price tag.
