I have the 13 pro and not the max. I love my pro I don’t see what the difference is between the pro and the pro max can someone please explain. Edit: Mrwhostheboss almost at 10 Mill congrats 🎉
let"s go 10 million
It does look amazing
Can't see ur videos in the list why is that
Honestly for someone who buys a poco x4 phone I think they know what they're doing. Poco is not a huge brand like Samsung and even if it is a sub brand of the massive Xiaomi, non tech savvy people will not know they're the same. I think this phone is more geared to those who want value on a budget and when you're on that budget, the problems of bloatware, software and mediocre camera just don't matter. I would say it's a perfect budget phone.
Edit: people have been complaining about their POCO phones malfunctioning, I have had a POCO X3 (non pro) for over a year now and there has not been a single problem, software or hardware but if it is as inconsistent as people are saying, buy at your own risk. I know 3 other people with POCO phones but none of them are faulty so I'm not sure what the replies are trying to say.
exactly id rather pay less for a minor inconvenience of uninstalling bloatware and things like that rather than paying extra for a clean home screen right off the bat
the devs for past phones who are going to upgrade to poco x4 will find ways to remove the bloatware and probably provide a good custom rom support. sounds like an amazing phone for me for the price. camera isnt an issue for me.
I agree with this. When someone ask me if Xiaomi is a good phone. I confident to say it's yes most of the time if you don't mind with ads and bloatware.
Well put
true. imo for those a bit tech savvy, theres probably ways to get rid of bloatware.
It's really amazing how good Xiaomi has become in mid-range phones. I don't mind bloatwares, most of them can be uninstalled easily and the ads of MIUI apps can also be stopped. Even some Google apps that are system apps can be removed using "Universal Android Debloater".
Thank you arun. I would have never knew the sneakiness the companies are playing for the cheap phones and using some heavy tech terms until you told it. Informative and eye opening video
I have the predecessor of this phone, and it's a good solid smartphone. This upgrade is worth it if you're looking for a good budget phone.
Same

Ayo same here dude 😁
What a legendary phone it was
I m still using poco f1
4:23 damn that was smooth!
Amazing work, looks like a great phone in that price span !
hi arun
Tim Cook will buy this for the charger... and will resell to iphone users
also rickroll shirt
I didn't even notice it
Been on a Poco f3 very descent even for gaming. And the 5g sensor has been consistent.
Very even review. Good job.
Mrwhosetheboss, your posts are incredibly easy and more efficient to understand.
Unfortunately for an South African like me who lives in a rural community, is kinda impossible to be a technology tester. But your videos make it possible to at least have knowledge of such technologies.
However it would great to have one of your tested phones Mr Inglesh🙏
I've used the poco x3 for a decent amount of time, since launch and i love it
How is your poco X3 doing right now?
@Don't read profile photo don't spam and gtfo
I've been using my poco x3 pro for almost a year and there is no issue regarding to the performance
Cause it’s a brand new phone. Budget android phones get laggy after a year or two
Nice! Any complaints?
4:00 Did anyone notice the last game ?
xD
What a great video. Super well explained, thanks! Any video in your channel on how to record yourself with soft soft? I'm under the
The videos are so awesome. Make my day with the potential in the video 👍
6:38, That 61 to 69 transition was smooth.
Why 69?🤣
I noticed that too
This is the best phone review I have ever ever seen, like you just explained everything that a normal person needs to know without being mislead and neither disappointed! Great work dude!!
Yea this dude is way better than maques brownlee . He doesn’t know shit and says a lot without really saying much and his videos a too long and boring
@@gianni_4 yeah, but Maques use a product weeks before is released.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo don’t matter he says a lot without really saying much
@Parth Shah yep that's true but he complained too much because the OS ads can be turned off with one button in settings and the camera is good but he was a bit too harsh. I didn't quite understand what the problem was with the 5g either, it works fine. But other than that I'd agree
@@vijayapai9238 He did say the camera was decent enough for this price and exactly what you'd expect. The point of the video is that the outer design and the way they market it makes us think they're of flagship quality which they arent and the "108MP" is just for show. But yeah i didnt get the 5g thing either. He didnt even clarify the point, just said it may not "properly work" with 5g. What does that even mean?
man, this video is so well done!!! Congratz
First time on your channel, don´t know how I ended up here, but this review of a phone has to be the best I have seen.
I'm using Poco F3 for a year now and I never regretted buying it. The specs and experience I have for 350€ is absolutely worth taking 5mins to disable the adds and remove preinstalled apps
I'm using it too, the only annoying thing is call proximity sensor, drives me crazy..
its like 100€ cheaper here
You can use 2 fingers shrink the screen and muti select all the app and uninstall them in 1 min lol
But I will keep them and open those app before uninstall them, because xiaomi worth the ads'money for they really make everyone be able to have a solid phone with affordable price.
comments from japan
I have Poco X3 Pro, its absolutely excellent, cost me £220 new from Xiaomi with 256gb model
@@1988oleshka Yeah true. Otherwise it's a great phone in this price.
the charger plug catch at 4:22 is crazy. the amount of tries it must have took
I was looking for this comment!!
That was so smoothh
**queue Spiderman theme**
the throw was pretty sick
i still really like my Poco x3 pro that i picked up for like 250.
for the price and what you got really does make it seem worth the value compared to a $1000+ phone out there.
I mostly just bought it for some mobile gaming so the Snap 860 handles that perfectly and the 5k mah battery offers hours worth of playtime too.
That and it's more friendly towards repair since the back comes off instead of the front screen panel access. (something the X4 still does which is nice)
I'm using my poco X3 pro right now 🫶☺️ this phone is a beast 🔥
i have the poco x3 nfc- not the pro and it;s dead after 2 years
Going on my third year with mine, with minor screen issues due to falling. But overall I would recommend Poco @@nikmor5773
I've own this phone ever since it came out. I'm super impressed me and my wife got this poco phones and we are both impressed. Thanks Xiaomi for making this budget phones cause I've been caught on the apple ecosystem and it's been hard to rip off.
4:28 Can we appreciate how smooth the charger catch was 👏👏👏👏
Ikr
I don't.
I think it was done in reverse mode .. he threw the charger then reversed it to make it look smooth as though he caught it

I hope to get this audience engagement some day, you truly are the boss Arun
No man no man no man

@Don't read profile photo ok i wouldn't
You're just the best! this review is just crazy 😂I love it! Thank you
Subscribed, excellent lively informative balanced review 👍
It's amazing how newer midrange phones specs are almost on par with flagships 2+ years ago. I'm excited for newer release this year and in the future.
eh, the chip is nowhere close to snapdragon 860 in terms of performance, and it releases in 2018? the other parts of the phones are good though, they obviously sacrifice the chip to lower the cost
what
its Snapdragon 695G and no where near par in performance with mid range phone 750G. They also aren't going to be price at 250$.. Your best choice is get Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G at 250-300$, in Term of Price/Performance it completely destroy this Poco X4 Pro.
@@altrealm2123 however the main camera is just as capable if not more than 2019 flagship cameras,just give it ois and better lenses and there you go,oh and gcam is a free upgrade it makes the phone alot better in processing,however the other cameras need work like telephoto is still not seen anywhere in this range,and ultrawide is just there for marketing
@@toytulog576 695 is slightly better than 765G,750G and way better than 720g on Note9Pro
I still got my Poco f1 from 2018. Running strong. Unbelievable phone.
I keep losing phones too often, a bad habit I am not proud of. Your reviews are very helpful. Thanks.
Your review made my day and cleared so many damm confusions in my mind ...I loved your review keep doing it great work.. what a energy what a performance I'll give you infinity stars...
I love how every time you handle the devices with care. Man, you really don't take things for granted, like other reviewers. You have my utmost respect.
Oh sweet summer child, you have no idea
You clearly haven't seen the video where he's using an iphone as a cutting board then...
I rarely ever comment but I have to say that you always manage to add a little something different to your videos to keep them interesting. That little timer on the left side of the video is a great touch. Awesome video. Super informative.
Great quality material, man. I am a first timer here, and I am seriously impressed. Subscribed.
I loved this video and you explaining what phone companies are doing to be a little sneaky. 😏
Nicely done.
Having good reviewers like yourself easily found on the internet really helps to find the qualities I want in the various phones and the lacking camera is an instant deal breaker.
Thank you
Fucking paid video and most of the dumb viewers don't even realise it 😆😆😆😆
I really enjoyed watching this video. Fun and eye opening! Thanks!
This phone is pretty good. the problem is that flagships like samsung and iphone have set standards to justify the exorbitant prices of their products, so people tend to think that flagships have something special and that the product has to be expensive for it to be normal. i used iphone 13 ,samsung s21 ultra but i felt ripped off because the price of the phone was way too high compared to the things it offers. Those midranged phones offers more than thode 1200 USD flagships
but sumsung has series that are close to price to these budget phones and are just way better,like the galaxy s50 and 70 series,so why buy these bloated phones when u can get a quality one for similar price
@@strongdaddys because they suck. i cant stand IPS displays.
@@nikoheino3927 what do u mean ? They have led and higher refresh rate since 2 years ago,
Just flash pixel experience or whatever other rom you want... Gets rid of the bloatware instantly. At that point you pretty much have a pixel in performance and software experience and the only thing you're missing is a quality camera, which is something you have to decide if it's worth it to you. Again, the poco camera is not bad, but it can leave you missing the pixel camera if you've used one before
@@hssnnkim but why, for what,like i said the A50 series for example,better camera better build,water resistant dust resistant,4 years of support,security updates,8 gigs of ram,a cpu that can do just fine about everything,better screen even in some cases,and same price about,sometimes these chinese phones have overkill cpu but this poco doesnt even have that,so not sure what the apeal is
I have the M3 as my work phone. Its battery is still the best I have ever came across. And it does its job just fine, no fancy extras. This is imo what a budget phone should be like. This X4 looks like a good bang for the buck as well. Getting nearly 70% of flagship experience with 25% of the price is just worth every penny.
Your comment says what was needed to be said. I also have an M3 and firmly believe that this newer and clearer Poco UI is better than the Redmi counterpart. The last update to 12.5.1 enhanced edition was neat. Made the phone faster, smoother and optimised properly.
60% more like.
Do you have any issues with it? im thinking to get one, but i saw a lot of comment saying the phone have many issues after using it a few months
@@beni2076 almost a year with no issues
@@AnupamBanerjeeab00 currently using M2 and i gotta agree the latest UI is just so fucking polished
Using POCO X3 right now with a custom ROM. Stock Android 12 experience actually makes it pretty fun to use. I'd say POCO phones bring you the best value you can get for its price, and if you are willing to spend a little bit of time on it for setting it up, then you really do get a great experience for its price....
Which ROM are you using? I'm on AOSP 12 now.
@@averagewojak2623 I'm using Pixel Experience
Do bank/UPI apps work after rooting the phone and/or on a custom ROM? That's my biggest worry on flashing custom roms these days. I NEED to be able to reliably make paytm or GooglePay transactions
That's not even close to stock android buddy...
@@vpsjdon they do, you just need to hide magisk. I use Google Pay on a regular basis. If you need any help you can always search for it on UA-cam, it's all out there
Poco is just the definition of "PERFECT MID RANGE"
Great vid Sir arun. I bought the phone after this review, very good for people who know nothing about phones. Gives me the right info about its pros and some misleading parts of it. Great budget phone
Awesome video… always been a fan since the beginning.. had huge expectations for this.. but you never fail to deliver but the best.. all the best..
I remember feeling the same about my F3 Haptics. They get you off-guard, how good they are. Lets just hope POCO doesn't 'settle' like the other guys :\
Recently I've been thinking of replacing my Redmi Note 5. Arun has given me a very viable option. Will definitely look into this.
I had poco x3 and it's really good. good processor, enough to play games, and it had passive cooling system.
it had microsd slot, and the fastcharging. and it cost really affordable.
I'm happy to see this phone had an newer version
I also have it, but I don't like its performance
@@sudiptasaikia2250 yup, literally sold my X3 recently because of the really bad performance
yeah but a downgrade version
You can disable the ads in the settings
@@ayylmao8837 wait didn't they say that it was good because of the performance?? like there aren't much phones with that budget that has this level of performance
I love hearing your reviews about mid-range and low-cost phones!😃 It's something else when I'm a bit bored of hearing about flagships. Hope you'll make more videos about low-cost, mid-range smartphones like this.🙏🙏😍😇
4:27 charger catch was soo good for this date 😂
more of these type of videos please recommend because I'm looking for a budget phones that compares with expensive phones
The only problem with poco devices is that the software becomes progressively worse over time
You have the option to use a custom OS
@@InconsisTenZ custom roms are so much better
@@InconsisTenZ Yeah but you have to wait a week until you can unlock the bootloader without being able to use the device.
@@InconsisTenZI agree with you Like he said it doesn't matter "if you know what you are doing".
Yeah thats the problem
Already looking great that workout routine looking amazing
As someone who doesn't play games on their phone and uses a dedicated camera for photos this sounds perfect, I hate that most phones are making me pay for expensive features I won't use.
Or make us pay for features that they don't have.

I bought the Poco F3 as a throwaway phone as my S20+ just died out of nowhere and before I could recontract. Well, turns out it's much better than I imagined. It has a Snapdragon 870 chipset, UFS 3.1 and it somehow felt snappier than my S20+ which was more than 4x its price. I continued using it till now just because of how happy I was with its performance even though I can recontract right now with a new flagship phone.
Poco F3 here as well it is amazing! :)
The Poco F series are always great value and more midrange . I have had every one since F1, and love them all
Thanks for the info. How are the cameras on the F3 doing?
F3 is an absolute rocker for that price!!
@@DutchmanAmsterdam it's fine, but you don't buy a Poco phone if you want to do photography lol
I think you can also add security as criteria next time. I trully loved the lock/hide folders in my old Huawei device and feeling annoyed that my current Samsung doesnt have it. One of the deciding factors in getting a new one (I dont want to install 3p app for that) but not enough reason to go back to Huawei. I cant seem to find yt reviews on this.
Hi, Arun. What is your cat's name? Man, I can't believe how fast your channel has grown. I think I subscribulated back when you only had like 500 subs and you interacted with us sometimes. Obviously now that would be impossible. Great job on the weight loss.
I got the Realme GT Neo 2 for $350 (on sale). Really impressed with the 1200 nit, amoled, 120hz display, the snaodragon 870 chipset, the 65 watt fast charging (0-100 in 35 minutes) and the 5000 mah battery. The software is also nice, better than Miui
Flipkart? 😂
Too bad, shit camera.
@@frankreynolds9930 Better than the Oneplus Nord (original) though. I didnt expect much but was surprised. Yes the quality isn't that high, but its perfectly normal for that price. The rest of the phone is flagship grade if you ask me

I have the x3 pro, i have installed google camera and it's really a very nice phone. Very happy with it. The screen is ok, even if it is inferior to the x4 pro. Nice review. Keep it up! I apreciate your work very much.
What I love about Arun is that his videos always have little Easter eggs in the editing, like at 6:38 where he changed 61 to 69 for a split second. It makes the videos just the a teeny bit more fun to watch.
I noticed that too haha
Guess I'm finding it hard to see how changing the number of phones from 61 to 69 for a quick second is fun or exciting, but maybe my boring life is a bitr more exciting than some other people's boring lives.
@@sandragray4598 just some fun easter eggs hidden in the videos
His shirt is a literal rick roll too!
Your last comment about phone companies becoming sneaky in their marketing of phones is so damn true. Just when you think you've found the one you like..nope it doesn't have one really important feature or two or three.
Very nice presentation and storytelling skills, you got it.
Amazing video and waiting for 10 million special video
Great review, thanks. The problem I have with ALL the budget phones are not their performances, but the lack of OIS on the camera. The camera is a vital part I use daily and needs to be great. Unfortunately the lack of OIS limits the camera.
I have oneplus 9 a flagship device and still no OIS
OIS doesn't matter that much, most people just click pictures, not record 4k videos from their phones, not that often.
@@aaronstone6183 OIS matters when the phone has an optical zoom like 2x, 2.5x, 3x or 5x. You would like to keep it steady. Night shots will also benefit from ois.

Budget phones these days rock! My OnePlus Nord20 5G no complaints for $280.
It's interesting you make reviews like this because I could have been very tempted to buy this as an upgrade to my OnePlus Nord (1st generation). Look at the specs and it's a big upgrade. In reality I have none of those OS issues, the camera is probably as good or better especially with Gcam. The better CPU, display, battery would be an upgrade but overall it's more of a sidestep I think. I probably won't be buying it as an upgrade.
Dw there's even more stuff coming :)
Coming from Poco X3 Pro's 860 (855+ overclocked) vs Poco X4 Pro's 695 5G it's a huge downgrade. IDK about Oneplus Nord but maybe get an F3 instead imo
dude dont do it. Even the nord (almost 2 years now) had a better cpu+gpu (765G with Adreno 620 is still way better than the SD695 with adreno 619). This POCO is actually worse than the X3 Pro
@@94Coelho Blimey. That explains how they've done it. That 765 Snapdragon is still quite a decent chip. The replacement Nord 2 is twice as fast with dimensity but owner reviews slate the battery life and overheating. So it shows you've got to be careful! For 250 that's still a good phone. But it's still not an upgrade for me which was more like a 400 phone to be fair on Poco.
@@roahnosh blimey. I didn't realise it was the pro version he reviewed. Yep. That's a massive downgrade on the 860. It's pretty obvious how they are making it so cheap using that CPU/GPU combo

Honestly even with the lack of updates to my Poco f2 pro from 2020 I don't think I'd change it until in screen cameras get better or there's another solution that manufacturers look at. I really hate having a notch or a holepunch where my camera has to go or just anything that impacts my screen.
I had to like the video after seeing the cleanest catch of my life!
Still rocking my poco m2 pro. Still runs CoD on highest settings without lag. My only problem is the 64 gb storage, wish I'd bought the 128gb variant
Yea it feels necessary to buy an SD card
Ahahahha same 64 version better than those 300$ competitors
128gb is the new 64gb nowadays. Many apps are getting bigger in every updates
Same
same.. Its been a year and running fine. Only the storage part sucks. Wish i had bought 128 gb variant
I love the Poco line, has great specs and features at a low price the big problem is always the cameras, having said that I can't think of any "budget" phone with actually good cameras, I mean in general they're good enough but nothing comparable to the flagship phone ones.
Would be interesting to see how one of the sub brands or "independent" brands from Xiaomi would manage a budget phone but with flagship quality cameras as its main feature, they would have to cut corners in all the other specs of course but maybe it would be worthy for the TikTok generation and some wannabe influencers... maybe even for me, just an enthusiast that would like better pics in low light.
You can use gcam to massively improve photo quality. Seriously, it's actual software magic, and the night mode is on par with pixels
For a poor ass mobile gamers, poco is a godsend
The Redmi line up of Xiaomi has better cameras in budget phones. Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is the best in that category.
I would probably upgrade to an enthusiast camera phone over my iPhone.
There's Infinix and Tecno I think. They have a couple mid rangers(price range) with OIS and Zoom cams. Problem is they don't have licensing for dimensity and snapdragon processors.
He has a great talent of looking right into the camera while using teleprompter beside.
4:23 Holy moly that catch from peripheral vision.
2:42 thats the funniest photo🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣Yup
For that price no one should be expecting perfect pictures, changing the camera app and using RAW can help to get decent images. If the calls works good, the sound is clear, internet and gaming works good, the phone will be good enough for most that are clear of what to expect. The bands are very important, and most people are not checking that. In a cheap phone a lot of bands are skipped. Is good to know all the frequencies or bands of the carrier, you can easily find which phone supports then using GSMArena phone finder.
Top 1 reason why Apple is s scammer:
Excuse me, but can you please tell me what bands are? Thanks

Hey Arun. Love your videos. Huge huge fan, like you're my go guy for any tech video. Especially the ones which are on budget phones. On the same topic, would you review the poco x5 pro 5g please.
What I like about Poco is that they allow you to unlock the bootloader from there you can install a custom ROM it makes the phone so much better, but some might say why buy a phone to change the software? because you can get much better performance by installing stock Android over MIUI! While having a pretty decent phone for the price.
How is this done exactly?
@@Stoffendous don't do it if you don't have knowledge you will brick your device. There are several tutorials on youtube to how to do it.
now you mention costom rom im interested
already tried Miui on My Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 and ot works flawlessly,though the vendor version of Miui seems bloated so i might search clean muiu rom if i want to buy that phone
I don't know how well the performance is. But I live some of the extra feature of MIUI which makes stock Android look bare bones. Although you also lose some features when using MIUI like screen pinning
Right, the only reason I was gonna buy these mi phones, they offer good hardware for the price but the software is absolutely horrendous, bloatware and ads, not to mention the whole copied Os from iOS. It's a bit weird tbh. I'd Rather have them put a stock version of Android in there than a whole bunch of bloatware.
