Wiko 5G
- Faster initial charging (60% in 15 mins)
- Includes 5W reverse wired charging
- Potentially lower price point
- Less established brand recognition
- Charging takes longer to reach 100%
Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G
- Faster time to 70% charge (22 mins)
- PD3.0 and QC3 fast charging support
- Wider brand recognition and support
- No reverse wired charging
- Slightly longer full charge time (41 mins)
Display Comparison
Both the Wiko 5G and Poco X4 Pro 5G share a 'Contrast ratio: Infinite (nominal)' specification, indicating they utilize AMOLED panels. However, detailed information regarding peak brightness, color gamut coverage (DCI-P3), and refresh rates are missing. Given the price bracket, we can assume both displays target a FHD+ resolution. The absence of LTPO technology suggests neither phone will offer adaptive refresh rates for power saving. The user experience will likely be similar, but without further data, it's difficult to declare a clear winner.
Camera Comparison
Both phones list 'Photo / Video' capabilities, but lack specific details regarding sensor size, aperture, or optical image stabilization (OIS). This makes a direct comparison challenging. The absence of information suggests neither phone will feature a particularly advanced camera system. We can assume both will rely heavily on software processing to enhance image quality. Without more data, it’s safe to assume both will perform adequately in good lighting conditions, but struggle in low-light scenarios. The inclusion of a 2MP macro lens on either device is likely a marketing gimmick with limited practical value.
Performance
Both devices are powered by the Qualcomm SM6375 Snapdragon 695 5G (6 nm) chipset, featuring an Octa-core CPU configuration (2x2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold & 6x1.7 GHz Kryo 660 Silver). This means CPU performance will be virtually identical. The real-world difference will likely come down to RAM management and thermal throttling. While RAM specifications aren't provided, the Poco X4 Pro’s larger user base may benefit from more optimized software. The 6nm process node offers a good balance of performance and efficiency, suitable for everyday tasks and moderate gaming, but don't expect flagship-level performance.
Battery Life
The Poco X4 Pro 5G boasts an 'Endurance rating 119h', suggesting comparable battery life to the Wiko 5G, despite the lack of specific mAh capacity information for either device. However, charging speeds differ significantly. The Wiko 5G supports 66W wired charging, reaching 60% in 15 minutes and 100% in 35 minutes. The Poco X4 Pro 5G offers 67W wired charging (with PD3.0 and QC3 support), achieving 70% in 22 minutes and 100% in 41 minutes. While the Poco X4 Pro takes slightly longer to reach 100%, its faster initial charging speed (70% in 22 minutes vs 60% in 15 minutes) provides a quicker boost when you're in a hurry. The Wiko 5G also offers 5W reverse wired charging, a feature absent in the Poco X4 Pro 5G.
Buying Guide
Buy the Wiko 5G if you prioritize a potentially lower price point and are comfortable with a less established brand. It delivers solid 5G performance and fast charging. Buy the Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G if you value a proven track record, slightly faster charging, and a potentially wider availability of accessories and support. It’s a safer bet for those new to the budget 5G space.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Does the Snapdragon 695 in either phone struggle with demanding games like Genshin Impact?
The Snapdragon 695 is a capable chipset for casual gaming, but demanding titles like Genshin Impact will likely require significant graphics settings reductions to achieve playable frame rates. Expect to play on low or medium settings to avoid excessive lag and overheating.
❓ Is the lack of detailed camera specs a major concern for photography enthusiasts?
Yes, the absence of information regarding sensor size, aperture, and OIS suggests neither phone will excel in photography, particularly in low-light conditions. If photography is a priority, you should consider phones with more detailed camera specifications.
❓ How does the software experience differ between Wiko and Xiaomi's MIUI?
Xiaomi's MIUI is a heavily customized Android skin known for its features and occasional bloatware. Wiko typically offers a closer-to-stock Android experience, which some users prefer for its simplicity and faster updates. However, update support from Wiko may be less consistent than from Xiaomi.
❓ Will either phone receive long-term software and security updates?
Long-term software support is a concern with budget smartphones. Xiaomi generally provides better software support than smaller brands like Wiko, but even with the Poco X4 Pro 5G, don't expect more than two major Android version updates and three years of security patches.
