POCO M4 Pro 4G is slightly better than 5G Edition... in 4G edition the Display is AMOLED but in 5G edition, unfortunately, comes with LCD IPS and Camera in 4G edition comes with 64MP but the 5G Edition comes with 50MP... I think that D810 will not change my opinion on M4 Pro 4G :-)

EBRAHIM, Come on bro just because of AMOLED and an unnoticeable camera difference...? I am even a G99 user but I have nothing but praises for the D810. (5g) Remember it's priceless.
