The Poco M4 Pro is reportedly set to launch in global markets, and ahead of this, the purported smartphone has surfaced in a listing on the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website. The Poco M4 Pro has seemingly passed the US FCC technical standards, which comes days after the smartphone allegedly surfaced on the IMEI database as well as other certification sites. However, this is likely the first time that the RAM and storage variants, as well as all the supported 5G bands of the Poco M4 Pro have been revealed on the internet. The listing gives a fair idea of how the next generation mid-range Poco smartphone is shaping up to be.
As per the listing, the Poco M4 Pro that received clearance by the US FCC was running on MIUI 12.5, which suggests that it may come with Android 11 out of the box — and not Android 12. The smartphone was spotted in two variants — one with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, and the other with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The smartphone is also seen to support NFC, which may be tied in with Xiaomi’s Mi Pay service aboard MIUI to offer contactless payments to users. The smartphone is also listed to support seven 5G bands, and bears model number 21091116AG. For reference, the letter ‘G’ at the end of the model number suggests that the M4 Pro will be a global smartphone by Poco, and is not directed at the Chinese market.
So far, the Poco M4 Pro has seen a very limited number of listings, certifications and leaks around it. From the information that’s available around it, the smartphone is tipped to feature 33W fast charging, which will be a big upgrade from the 18W fast charging that the Poco M3 Pro 5G featured. The faster charging may also see Poco offer a larger battery, which would be a major upgrade for users. Rumours have also claimed that the smartphone will be based on a MediaTek SoC, although no details around this have been offered yet. Further details such as camera configuration or display size and layout are yet to be spotted in reports.
If launched in the coming weeks, then Poco would have refreshed its M-series smartphone within six months of launching the previous one. The Poco M3 Pro featured a MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G SoC, with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The smartphone featured a 6.5-inch, 90Hz, full HD+ display, and 48MP triple rear cameras. It offered a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. With its launch tipped to be in the coming weeks, it remains to be seen how the upcoming smartphone shapes up to be.
