M4 is better on pocket size. Some of those technical specs it's for the measuring machines, not the ear or the eye.

Poco M4 Pro cost 2/3 of Poco X4. Yet the difference is relatively minor, the biggest one is that Poco X4 pro supports 5G, which imho isnt that important for most people in the world. The biggest sin of Poco x4 pro is probably how weak the chip is considering the price is almost 1.5 times, especially for a phone under the brand of Poco.

The X4 Pro is too big and too heavy to fit comfortably in a trouser pocket. For this reason, the M4 Pro is better. No point having a mobile if you are going to leave it at home half the time because of how uncomfortable it feels walking around with it in your pocket.
