POCO, one of the sub-brands of Chinese technology giant Xiaomi, announced today its new smartphones F5 and F5 Pro. Equipped with remarkable features, smartphones seem to be able to attract attention if they are affordable.
So what does the POCO F5 family promise to the consumer? Let’s take a closer look at these smartphones.
Here comes the POCO F5 Pro:
POCO F5 Pro appeared as the flagship version of the series. Standing out with its 6.67-inch WQHD+ screen resolution, the phone exceeds POCO’s expectations with its 526 ppi pixel density. Offering a smooth experience with a 120 Hz refresh rate, the screen also has Gorilla Glass 5 protection and fingerprint reader support embedded in the screen. The front camera of the phone, on the other hand, offers 16 MP resolution and supports 1080p video recording.
POCO’s new smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. This power is supported by up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. Coming with a 5.160 mAh battery, the smartphone offers 67W wired, 30W wireless fast charging support. It should be noted that the phone, which comes with the Android 13-based MIUI 14 interface, has a cooling system called “LiquidCool VC”, and this cooling system, paired with cooling chambers and graphite layers, has 15 percent better performance than other models in POCO’s F series.
The triple camera setup of the POCO F5 Pro has a main rear camera that offers 64 MP resolution. This camera is accompanied by an 8 MP ultra wide angle camera and a 2 MP macro camera. The phone has both electronic (EIS) and optical (OIS) image stabilization technologies, while artificial intelligence supports this camera setup. Let’s underline that it is possible to shoot videos up to 4K with the POCO F5 Pro.

Let’s come to the POCO F5:
POCO F5 can be interpreted as a slightly simplified version of the Pro model. This smartphone also has a 120 Hz and 6.67 inch screen, while this screen offers FHD + resolution. The front camera embedded in the screen offers 16 MP resolution just like the F5 Pro and has an aperture of f/2.45.
This smartphone is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor. This processor is supported by 256GB of storage and up to 12GB of RAM. While the 5,000 mAh battery of the POCO F5 offers 67W fast charging support, the operating system of the phone is also Android 13-based MIUI 14.
The triple camera setup welcomes us in POCO F5, too. This camera setup includes a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultra wide-angle camera and a 2 MP macro camera. However, the main camera quality is not expected to be as good as that of the POCO F5 Pro. And of course, in this model, artificial intelligence will support the camera setup of the phone.
