The POCO F4 5G India launch marks a significant moment for mid-range smartphone buyers, bringing Snapdragon 870 performance, a 120Hz E4 AMOLED display, and 67W fast charging to a competitive price bracket. Available in three storage variants starting at Rs 27,999, the POCO F4 5G makes a strong case for anyone seeking flagship-grade specs without the flagship price tag.
POCO F4 5G India Price and Variants
POCO has introduced the F4 5G in India across three configurations. The base 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variant is priced at Rs 27,999, while the 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage option comes in at Rs 29,999. The top-tier 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage variant retails at Rs 33,999. As part of the launch offer, buyers can avail a discount of Rs 2,000, making all three options even more attractive.
This is also the first POCO phone to support 4K video recording and optical image stabilization (OIS), two features that have historically been reserved for higher price segments.
Display and Performance Specifications
The POCO F4 5G sports a 6.67-inch FullHD+ E4 AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels. The panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and delivers a peak brightness of 1300 nits, making it comfortable to use in direct sunlight. The 120Hz adaptive refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and responsive touch input, while Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support add depth to streaming content. An integrated eye care mode helps reduce strain during extended use.
Under the hood, the phone is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870 processor, built on a 7-nanometer process, paired with the Adreno 650 GPU. The device ships with MIUI 13 based on Android 12.
