The Poco X5 closely resembles the Poco X4 Pro in design, but it has some distinct features like a curved back panel. This phone is comfortable to hold thanks to its plastic back finish, which is matte rather than glossy, reducing fingerprint smudges. It boasts a 5000mAh battery and comes with a 33W charger. The rear camera setup includes a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro camera. On the front, there's a 13MP selfie camera. While daylight shots are good, they lack details and sharpness. In contrast, the selfie camera produces photos with accurate skin tones. The Poco X5 features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, providing a good indoor and outdoor viewing experience. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, offering satisfactory performance for everyday tasks. Although the phone can handle high-end gaming, the experience is not ideal due to low graphics and frame rates. Therefore, if you’re in the market for a budget smartphone that performs well in day-to-day tasks, takes good photos, and has a smooth display, the Poco X5 is worth considering.
