Announcement of the global launch date of the POCO X4 Pro 5G and POCO M4 Pro 4G
It could also pack a 5,000mAh battery that supports fast charging up to an impressive 67 watts and a 108-megapixel main camera at the back. For selfies, it may have a 16-megapixel front camera centered in a punch hole.
The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G starts at $329 (around P16,910 converted) globally for the base variant with 6GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Xiaomi has yet to reveal its availability and price in the Philippines. The Note 11 Pro 5G is available in Graphite Gray, Polar White, and Star Blue colors, so the POCO X4 Pro 5G could offer those colorways as well. Of course, the phone’s official pricing and specifications will be revealed at the launch event itself, which will be streamed online.
As for the POCO M4 Pro 4G, the phone has been spotted recently on the Google Play Console website. The listing reveals some of its specs, and based on what’s out there, it seems likely that the M4 Pro 4G will be a rebranded Redmi Note 11S.
Recall that the Note 11S is also set to launch in the Philippines alongside the Note 11 Pro 5G. It will come with a MediaTek Helio G96 4G chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM and a choice between 64GB and 128GB storage options. Elsewhere, the phone will pack a FHD+ display, likely of the 6.43-inch AMOLED variety, and MIUI-based Android 11 out of the box.
