The Poco M4 Pro 5G has a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a pixel density of 395 PPI. While the M4 Pro is not waterproof, it does come with IP52 protection that keeps the device safe from dust and light splashes. The phone has a plastic frame with a metal-like finish, and the back panel is made of polycarbonate with a matte finish.
The frequency itself is dynamic and can vary depending on the task. The smartphone can automatically set 50, 60, 90 or 120 Hz depending on the running apps and user interaction. Specifications like these imply that we have a pretty good screen. The brightness is almost always enough, but the auto brightness does not work quite correctly and often you have to move the slider manually. Viewing angles are typical for IPS, and the picture doesn’t not get distorted. But at diagonal angles, the contrast of dark tones is lost is usual. Once again we will return to the Poco X3 NFC, because the design of the new Poco X3 Pro is almost identical.
If you’re going to update a security patch to the current month, don’t go for the manual method. Again, charge the phone to at least 30% so that the flashing process will not be interrupted by low battery.
