Poco X5 Pro

The new Pro also upgrades the display (10-bit) and camera performance compared to last year's Poco X4 Pro. The vanilla X5 sticks to the Snapdragon 695 chip.

The Poco X5 Pro is headed to India next week (the rumors were right, the vanilla X5 will not be available there). The camera and battery are more akin to what a hypothetical vanilla Poco X4 might have been (Xiaomi never released such a phone). The vanilla model launches with the older MIUI 13 for Poco out of the box. This is not to say that the camera is without improvement – the Snapdragon 778G brings a faster ISP (2 gigapixels per second) and a more powerful NPU (12 TOPS). The display is 6.67” in size with the same FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate as the Pro. Like the new Pro, it also has an 8/256GB version and does one better – it has a microSD slot for up to 1TB more (note this phone has a hybrid card slot). This means that the main module features a 108MP 1/1.52” sensor, which is joined by an 8MP ultra wide-angle module (120°) and a 2MP macro camera, plus a 16MP camera on the front. The chassis has been slimmed down, in fact, at 7.9mm it is the thinnest X-phone yet (and third thinnest in the Poco family, beaten only by a couple of F-phones). Additionally, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack, an IR blaster and (in some regions, at least) NFC. The Poco X series typically delivers a high refresh rate screen, a large, fast-charging battery and a value for money chipset (leaving flagship performance to the F-phones). [Snapdragon 778G](qualcomm_announces_snapdragon_778g_chipset_x65_5g_modem-news-49189.php) – the 6nm chip (TSMC) with a flagship-grade Adreno 642L GPU. This year Xiaomi also equipped the Pro with double the base storage, 128GB, but kept the base RAM at 6GB.

Poco's latest powerful mid-ranger offers a great deal of performance and has a great big screen.

Its clarity and depth of field aren’t going to compete with the most expensive phones on the market, of course, but it’s plenty good enough for social media sharing. It’s more than good enough to get most people through a full workday, and the 67W fast charger that ships in the box means you’re never gripped by battery anxiety. We only really noticed one issue with the phone in our testing period and that was to do with listening to music. It’s not a two-day battery, and on heavier days with 3-4 hours of gaming, we’ve managed to drain it down below the red-accented 19 per cent mark. MIUI continues to be one of the more heavy-handed Android skins, with a number of - at best - counter-intuitive choices and - at worst - completely nonsensical ones. As we mentioned in the display section, there’s a really feeling of speed and fluidity about the Poco X5 Pro. The cheaper entry-level model comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage (again with RAM expansion). Other elements include the fact that it still has the control centre/settings widgets and notifications split between the two sides of the screen, so you can’t just swipe down from the middle to get notifications anymore. Usually, when buying phones in the lower end of the market you have to sacrifice somewhat in the display area, and yet with the X5 Pro, it doesn’t seem significantly hampered in any discernible area. There are - of course - differences between using this and using a much more expensive phone screen. It’s placed in the wake/sleep button on the side, and works quickly and reliably. We've been testing the 'Pro' model for a couple of weeks to see exactly how much bang you get for your buck.

Poco's new X5 Pro smartphone is designed for content creators and features a color-accurate display and 108-megapixel main camera.

The Poco X5 Pro 5G will be available in three colors: Black, Blue, and Yellow in two storage and speed variants. Poco X5 5G will come in three colors: Green, Blue, and Black. The company is also releasing the standard Poco X5 which swaps out the Snapdragon 778G 5G chip and replaces it with the 695 chipset while also using a less expensive — and less color accurate — display and battery with only 33W fast charging capability.

The Xiaomi POCO X5 Pro is no slouch despite its budget smartphone status, successfully establishing itself as one of the best in its class.

The POCO X5 Pro is a handsome looker that boasts better design than some of the flagship models out there, and impresses with its decent camera capabilities, especially for its price. Armed with a 6.67-inch Flow AMOLED screen and measuring 7.9mm thin, the budget alternative is the slimmest device in POCO’s X series of smartphones. Like most things in the tech scene, the smartphone market comes with various offerings that cater to different needs.

Poco X5 Pro review: The latest Poco phone is slightly pricier compared to its predecessor. But does it make for a better purchase option? Here's our review.

But the Poco X5 Pro surprises with its main rear camera and selfie camera performance. Poco X5 Pro is a capable device no doubt, with excellent performance and a camera to back it up. Yes, this is an excellent camera, but this has become the norm in the price bracket. Of course, Poco is pitching the X5 Pro against the realme 10 Pro+, which also runs the Mediatek one. The Poco X5 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch full HD+ AMOLED display with a dot camera on top. What I do like about the Poco X5 Pro is that this is a very slim and lightweight phone. In outdoor lighting and even in low light the Poco X5 Pro does a fairly impressive job handling most colours and delivering crisp details. The Poco X5 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G, which the company has been stressing offers better performance compared to the Mediatek Dimensity 1080 which incidentally also powers the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Pro+. The triple camera is aligned in a manner similar to the Redmi Note 12 Pro series, though Poco has put the brand name right next to the camera. But the Poco X5 Pro is a slightly more expensive phone, starting at Rs 22,999– though with some bank offers it goes down to Rs 20,999. But what is really different about the Poco X5 Pro and how does it perform? Poco’s latest phone for India is the X5 Pro– successor to the much-loved Poco X4 Pro which had a relatively affordable price of Rs 18,999 when it launched last year.
