Final week’s polls present that individuals are not fully offered on the Poco X4 GT and Poco F4. Let’s have a more in-depth take a look at what went proper and what went mistaken with these two.
The polls trace at a barely higher reception for the Poco X4 GT. One factor that restricted its enchantment is that the shortage of official plans to launch it in India, which is historically a robust marketplace for Poco. The X4 GT is predicated on the Redmi Observe 11T Professional, which isn’t accessible in India both (the non-Professional 11T is, however that’s not on the identical stage).
Predictably, there have been some arguments within the feedback praising the selection of an LCD as a substitute of AMOLED and a few deriding the choice. A extra constant criticism got here from individuals who weren’t pleased with the soundness of the software program that Poco telephones run.
The Poco F4 did launch in India (and different markets). An even bigger proportion of these within the mannequin plan to seize one through the early hen reductions, which drop the bottom value to €350/₹24,000. That’s a reduction of €50/₹4,000. For comparability, the X4 GT obtained an even bigger €80 low cost, besides most individuals who need one favor to attend for opinions.
The criticism for the F4 was easy – it’s not a lot of an improve over the F3. The telephone brings an improved digital camera (64MP with OIS vs. 48MP) and quicker battery charging (0-100% in 38 minutes as a substitute of 52 minutes), however that’s about it.
Even when it didn’t persuade some folks, the Poco F4 is off to a nice begin in India – retailer Flipkart labeled it the “quickest promoting flagship”. We don’t fully agree with the “flagship” classification and we might have preferred to see some concrete gross sales numbers, however that is nonetheless a promising signal for the F4.
