Poco X4 Pro 5G is all set to launch in India on March 28. Poco India confirmed the arrival of the new Poco X-series smartphone in the country via Twitter. Poco has also shared a poster on the microblogging platform, revealing the smartphone's design and rear camera module. Poco X4 Pro 5G India variant will have a triple rear camera unit led by a 64-megapixel main sensor, as per the teaser. The handset was launched globally alongside Poco M4 Pro 4G at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2022 in February. The global variant of Poco X4 Pro 5G is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC and it features a triple rear camera unit headlined by the 108-megapixel main sensor. The smartphone is essentially a rebranded Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, which was launched globally a month earlier than the Poco model.
Poco India posted a tweet on Tuesday to announce the official launch date of the Poco X4 Pro 5G in the country. The smartphone is scheduled to launch on March 28 at 12:00pm IST. As mentioned, the poster suggests that Poco X4 Pro 5G will have artificial intelligence (AI) based triple rear camera unit led by a 64-megapixel main camera, which implies the India variant is slightly different. Further, a dedicated microsite is live on Flipkart teasing the handset's India arrival.
To recall, Poco X4 Pro 5G was launched globally at MWC this year with a price tag of EUR 299 (roughly Rs. 25,300) for the 6GB + 128GB RAM and storage model. The top-end 8GB RAM + 256GB model costs EUR 349 (roughly Rs. 29,500). The smartphone is offered Laser Black, Laser Blue and Poco Yellow colour options. As mentioned, the Poco X4 Pro 5G is a rebranded Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G - which is itself a global variant that was launched in late January.
