Editor Rating
3.6/5

The Poco F4 is a decent budget offering from the Chinese manufacturer, which features a simple design and solid build quality. You get a great AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate support as well as Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and SGS Eye Care Display certification. The processor is a bit older but handles most day-to-day tasks well. There is even a last-generation liquid cooling setup for people who like to play mobile games, but the 4500mAh is a bit too average to sustain that kind of performance for long periods of time.

Bottom Line

The Poco F4 is a decent budget offering from the Chinese manufacturer, which features a nice display and decent battery backup, but it really drops the game when it comes to performance due to an older processor that has some issues with thermal throttling and a camera setup that has not been optimized for best picture quality.
