Why does this story matter?
The M4 Pro 4G is POCO's offering aimed at those who do not want to spend extra bucks for 5G connectivity. Based on the rumored specifications, it seems the M4 Pro 4G will be a rebranded Redmi Note 11S. However, it will be interesting to see how the company will price the handset considering the Note 11S costs more than the M4 Pro 5G.
