Key specs
Critic consensus
“For a relatively affordable midrange smartphone – with prices starting around 290 Euros (~$318) at the time of our test – the Poco X5 Pro brings almost everything that a price conscious buyer could expect: powerful hardware, fast communication modules, and extensive equipment.”
“The Poco X5 Pro 5G is a properly good sequel with minor shortcomings and that's why it gets our recommendation. It's one of the best phones in its price bracket and its specs sheet and the consistently good real-life performance will easily sway most of the potential buyers.”
“Poco’s X5 Pro is a solid mid-range Android smartphone. It matches the performance of other devices at this price, and outperforms them in areas like display and charging. While Poco’s camera lacks detail, its shots are brighter than those from most other affordable Android phones. To be honest, the biggest letdown for most people will likely be the MIUI software. If you’re looking for reliable performance around the £350 mark, then the Poco X5 Pro is an excellent choice.”
“On the surface, there isn’t much that makes the Poco X5 Pro a worthy upgrade to the X4 Pro, but the extra power inside actually goes a long way to improve the user experience. Specifically, the X5 Pro is a better budget-gaming phone, and the whole UI runs smoothly too. The phone’s also thinner and lighter than its predecessor, and it brings back its great battery life and fast charging – all good stuff.”
