How does the Poco F5 Pro compare to other smartphones in the same price range?
Introduction
Poco, a sub-brand of Xiaomi, has launched two new smartphones in India, Poco F5 and F5 Pro. These new devices come with a lot of hype and expectations, but do they live up to it? In this article, we will talk about the Poco F5 and F5 Pro’s features, performance, and design.
Design
The Poco F5 and F5 Pro come with a large 6.67-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate that offers smooth touch response and scrolling. Both devices come with Gorilla Glass 3 protection on the back and front and have a sleek and sophisticated design, thanks to the curved edges. However, the design is not too different from the Poco X3 Pro.
Performance
The Poco F5 and F5 Pro both come with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G chipset, which can handle even the most demanding games with ease. The F5 comes with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of internal storage, while the F5 Pro has 8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of internal storage. Both devices support 5G connectivity, and they come with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11 operating system.
Camera
The Poco F5 and F5 Pro come with a triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front, there is a 20-megapixel selfie camera. The camera performance is decent, but it is not exceptional. The low-light photography could have been better.
Battery
The Poco F5 and F5 Pro come with a large 4,520mAh battery that can last for a day on a single charge with moderate usage. Both devices support fast charging up to 33W, and they also come with a 33W charger in the box, which can charge the phone from 0 to 100% in just 52 minutes.
Verdict
Overall, the Poco F5 and F5 Pro are good smartphones that offer a decent experience and performance. However, considering the hype and expectations, they fall short in some aspects, such as camera performance and design. If you are looking for a phone with a good processor and a smooth display, the Poco F5 and F5 Pro are worth considering, but if you are looking for a phone with a great camera or an exceptional design, you may want to look elsewhere.
