The Poco brand, a subsidiary of Xiaomi, has been making waves in the mid-range smartphone market since its launch. The upcoming Poco F5 series aims to shake things up again. The latest leaks and teasers have given us a glimpse of what we can expect from the Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro. The company’s UAE website has revealed the devices’ specifications, images, and a few other details.
Poco F3 Pro
Let’s start with the Pro version of the Poco F3 series. The phone features a Snapdragon 870 chipset, which promises superior performance. Buyers can choose between three memory combinations: 6GB+128GB, 8GB+128GB, or 8GB+256GB. The Poco F3 Pro runs on MIUI 12 based on Android 11.
Poco F5 Pro Display
The Poco F5 Pro comes with a 6.67″ AMOLED display with WQHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate for a smooth and responsive experience. The screen supports HDR10+, boasts a peak brightness of 1,300 nits, and has a touch sampling rate of 360Hz. The display also has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.
Poco F5 Pro Camera
The Poco F5 Pro boasts impressive camera specifications. The device has a 64MP main camera with an Omnivision OV64B sensor, an f/1.8 aperture, and a 6P lens. The phone also features an 8MP ultra-wide-angle shooter with a 120-degree Field of View (FoV) and a 2MP macro camera. The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor housed in a punch-hole cutout on the display.
Poco F5 Pro Cooling
The Poco F5 Pro has a unique cooling system, which the company calls LiquidCool VC. It is a combination of a stainless-steel vapor chamber and graphite layers that improve heat conductivity by up to 15%.
Poco F5 GT Battery and Charging
The Poco F5 GT’s battery capacity is listed as 5,065 mAh, which is slightly lower than the 5,500 mAh battery on the Redmi K40 Gaming. However, the Poco F5 GT supports 67W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, which should compensate for the lower battery capacity.
Poco F3
The Poco F5 is the non-Pro version of the upcoming Poco F5 series. The phone features the same 6.67″ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate as the Poco F5 Pro; however, the resolution is 1080p.
Poco F5 Camera
The camera setup of the Poco F5 consists of a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 2MP macro camera. The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor.
Poco F5 Battery and Charging
The Poco F5 has a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 67W charging. As with the Pro version, the Poco F5’s battery is slightly smaller than the Redmi K60’s.
Poco F5 Colors
The Poco F5 comes in black, blue, and white colors. The white version has a “dual-color gradient offset printing” design.
The Poco F5 series seems to have some impressive features and specifications, making it a potential competitor in the mid-range smartphone market. With the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, high refresh rate AMOLED displays, and powerful camera setups, the Poco F5 series could give other mid-range devices a run for their money. The series’ official launch date has not been announced yet, but it is rumored to be around the corner.
