    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.

      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.

    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".

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?

    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)

      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

    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!

      The problem with that assessment is that Android flagships from 2 years ago are priced close to budget phones, are more complete builds with flagship perks, and are better purchases than these budget phones. If these major Android companies advertise their older flagships they would rinse the budget market, and even Apple are going for it with the recent SE line up.

In reality I have none of those OS issues, the camera is probably as good or better especially with Gcam.

    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.
