Editor's Review
Overall, I think the Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro 5G is a great budget phone that offers excellent value for its price. The only downsides are the pre-installed apps that you can't remove, and the lack of expandable storage. But these are minor quibbles, and I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone on a budget who wants a solid device that performs well.
