Poco might sound more like a drippy Hollywood lifestyle brand than a smartphone company, but what began as a cost-cutting offshoot of Xiaomi is now a big deal among bargain-hunters. Its latest effort, the M4 Pro 5G, follows a familiar recipe: good looks, sensible hardware and plenty of features, at a price that won’t make you wince.
By taking an existing model from the Chinese market (in this case the Redmi Note 11) and rebranding it for us Brits, Poco is able to undercut not just big-name rivals like Samsung, but also budget darlings OnePlus, Motorola and Nokia.
