Should you upgrade from the Xiaomi Poco F3 to the Poco F4? We compare the two budget Android phones to help you decide.
The Poco F3 was easily one of the best Android phones of 2021, but now Xiaomi has followed up with the Poco F4. What’s new, and is it worth the upgrade over one of the best budget flagship devices in recent years? Although not available in every global market, Xiaomi devices such as the Poco F3 and Poco F4 offer the perfect mix of hardware and internal specifications for most people.
