POCO X5 Pro

Technical specifications

The only thing that can be criticized at the moment is the build quality of the back panel .... It is thin plastic that bends under the fingers. I recommend a sturdy case for it. Regards.

A very good phone for the price, the screen is excellent, the processor is worse than in the X3 pro version, for example, but it results in longer battery life. Previously I had a Pocophone F1 and there is no comparison, it is a huge difference. I will write another review after about 3 months of use.

As a reader and someone who considers this portal to be one of the few objective ones, I am once again posting a review of another device. I have been using the smartphone for about 2 weeks. The battery life is really good, lasting about 2-3 days. Full charging is fast, taking about 40 minutes from 10 to 100%. It does not overheat. Call quality and signal range are very good. The reader is very fast and precise. My 8/256 version does not experience any stuttering or performance slowdowns; it runs smoothly and very quickly at 120Hz. The speakers sound loud and clear. The AMOLED screen, colors, and brightness in the sun are ideal, just like in a Samsung (I am comparing it to the A-series models I previously owned). The main camera takes 12MP photos, but the quality, specifically the level of detail, is even slightly better than in the Samsung A52, A52s 5G, or A53 that I used. I was concerned about the camera because it is well known that Samsungs are very good in this regard, but here there is a pleasant surprise (POCO X5 Pro has a sensor from Samsung). Night photos are, well, at the level of the aforementioned Samsungs, which is to say, okay. Comparing the pros and cons, the "pros" are: a stronger power amplifier (range and call quality), a 108MP camera in pro settings, longer battery life, faster charging, computing power, and most importantly... Samsung after updates: after 2 years it begins to slow down, whereas the POCO X3 Pro did not experience this phenomenon after 3 years, so it is safe to say that the subsequent POCO X5 Pro will not experience it either. Unfortunately, a leading manufacturer like Samsung reduces the smoothness of operation through updates to force a replacement with a newer model. For those who are undecided, I sincerely recommend it. As for "cons," I have not noticed anything so far :) Traditionally, warm greetings to mGSM.

This equipment is excellent. Where to begin. Just unboxing the box was a pleasure. Originally installed screen protector. Right after that, an original transparent case for a good start. 67W charger. After turning on the device, the speed at which it works is sensational. Pure black of the Amoled screen. Very fast configuration. I mainly care about smooth gameplay in games. I have no complaints. I launch one game and through G.T. a second one in another window. Nothing stutters at all. What next. The screen refresh rate works well, changing the Hz on its own depending on what is currently active. Camera. I have no complaints. In full screen mode, it takes beautiful photos which can also be displayed within a few seconds on a giant TV in Projection mode (LG). The photos look sensational. Furthermore, in Projection mode, you can also directly watch a Film or play a Game, turning this equipment into quite a console. For this price. Honestly. I could have paid twice as much. This is very good equipment.

After switching from the iPhone SE 2020, the only issue for me is the dimensions ;) for daily use, a phone the size of the iPhone SE is excellent for a man. But I was supposed to talk about POCO, and for me it is exceptional! The price-to-quality ratio is 10 out of 10. Smoothness of operation, battery, calls, photos-I rate everything very highly. The reception compared to the iPhone SE... well, there is no comparison, it is much better on the POCO. It seems to me that only the photos captured by the iPhone were slightly better, but I am not an expert and for me, they are really good. If anyone is considering the purchase... they should stop and buy it :) I am writing this as an iPhone user of 8 years and I can hardly believe it myself. I consider Apple devices to be excellent smartphones, but I definitely believe it is not worth overpaying for them. Not anymore. Best regards and I wish future users much satisfaction from using the X5 pro.

I have had this phone for a little over a year, and it already had to be sent for repair due to a charging port failure caused by a burnt cable (incidentally, the original one included with the phone). After the repair, there are problems again when connecting other cables. Among other disadvantages, I would include the short operating time on a single charge (I have to charge it at least twice a day), a lot of annoying advertisements when first turned on, and camera quality that is fine during the day but poor at night, although I do not have such high expectations in this regard. I also do not like the software overlay; I prefer the Samsung one.

On paper, all these statistics may be impressive, but in practice, this phone is tiring and has its moods, the most irritating is probably the bluetooth, because it is completely inadequate, you can forget about listening to music wirelessly, because the headphones are disconnected randomly, I tested it on two models Philips and Creative and it is, in one word, a tragedy (on the Samsung a52s they work perfectly). To be honest, I regret buying this smartphone.

After switching from the poco x3 pro, the phone is worth recommending. Faster than the x3 pro ;) the screen and camera are incomparably better, the same applies to the sound and speakers. The downside is the memory card; it is a pity that no one provides memory card slots anymore to encourage cloud use, but that is what USB memory is for ;) There is no competition in this price range.

From the perspective of a few months , the phone is excellent ( switch from RedmiNote 9). Just today 28.01.24 ,the update to Hyper OS reached me. For now there is nothing extraordinary ,several functions are blocked compared to other versions for other countries ( comparing my version of Hyper OS, with videos from other regions of the globe , where they already received it earlier).

After 2 weeks, I think the phone is excellent. Everything runs very smoothly, the image is at the highest level, the battery lasts about 2 days, and charging takes a very short time to reach 100%. Wi-Fi 5G communication is outstanding. Apps launch very quickly. I have nothing to complain about. Xiaomi is superior. Nothing more is needed. It has everything.
