A superb budget gaming phone with top performance for the money, a better display and quick charging.

One of the best phones in its price bracket thanks to a superb display, a powerful new chipset and long battery life.
GSMArena80
Only the opening page of the lab review is shown, presenting the Pro as the best of the new Poco batch with powerful silicon, bright OLED and fast charging.
Android Central80
A big step up from its predecessor and the best value in Xiaomi's sub-$400 range, with a great screen, fast hardware and long updates.
WIRED70
Both phones give lovely screens, good battery and fast charging for the money, but bloatware and middling cameras hold them back.
