Poco X5 Pro

The Poco X5 Pro features a 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 778G, dual-speakers and it still gets a 3.5mm headphone jack. It will go on sale in Malaysia ...

The Poco X5 Pro supports 5G, 802.11ax WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The Poco X5 5G supports sub-6GHz 5G, WiFi 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 5.1. Besides having an IR blaster and a 3.5mm headphone jack, the Pro model also gets dual speakers. For taking pictures, the Poco X5 Pro boasts a higher-resolution 108MP “Pro-grade” main camera with a 1/1.52″ sensor that’s accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle shooter and a 2MP macro camera. Like previous Poco smartphone launches, there is a special early bird discount where you can get the X5 and X5 Pro at RM100 off, while stocks last. The Poco X5 and X5 Pro are running on Qualcomm’s mid-range Snapdragon 695 and 778G processors respectively which come with support for 5G.

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 has also implemented different processors on both models as the X5 Pro 5G is running on Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G as compared to the Snapdragon 695 on the ...

Similarly, the device can be purchased at a slightly lower price of RM999 and RM1099, respectively during the X5 Series initial rollout into Malaysia. For selfies, the X5 Pro 5G relies on a 16MP camera while the X5 5G goes for a 13MP camera. The X5 Pro 5G can only be obtained Available in Black, Blue, and Yellow, they can be obtained at a slightly lower price of RM1,199 and RM1,399, respectively until 15 February. Available in two models, the brand has officially confirmed that both POCO X5 Pro 5G and X5 5G are already on their way to Malaysia. Both devices are equipped with a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display that has a refresh rate of 120Hz and 240Hz touch sampling rate although the Pro model was covered by the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 while the standard option received the older Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

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.

Xiaomi POCO X5 5G: POCO X4 Pro 5G re-run arrives with worse specifications

Poco has just unveiled its latest budget-friendly powerhouses, but exactly how do the two new X-series models compare?

The X5 Pro has faster charging, a faster processor, a better display and a better primary camera. On the surface, it's clear which of these two is the better phone, and it's no real surprise. The regular Poco X5 has a 48-megapixel primary sensor. Apart from that - again - the two phones are similar. Another major difference on the media side is that the X5 Pro also features a dual speaker set up for stereo sound. The Poco X5 Pro features Xiaomi's 67W fast charging tech, which means a full charge from empty in under 40 minutes. X5 Pro also has higher contrast ratio, but a peak brightness that's not quite as bright as the 1200 nits on the X5. Both come in black and blue variants, but the Pro comes in Poco's iconic yellow and black colourway, and the X5's third variant is green. You get glass on the front and plastic around the sides and on the back; although the flavour of glass is different. The X5 Pro has a completely flat back with right-angled edges. The Pro model features a newer Gorilla Glass 5, where the X5 regular has Gorilla Glass 3.
