Some of you have already bought a Poco X5 Pro and taken advantage of the upfront price, although judging by last week’s survey the phone is as likely to repel people as it is to attract them. popular option. What happened?
At a glance: Poco X5 Pro and Poco X5
Price and features is the short answer. For the former, the older Poco X4 Pro can be found for around the same price as the vanilla X5, and the older Pro is the better phone. The new Pro has some upgrades, but also some downgrades.
The main update is the Snapdragon 778G chipset, which has been well received by commentators. It’s really quite powerful for this price range, although it’s been around alongside the Snapdragon 870 for a while, so it’s not that hard to find similarly priced phones with those chips.
As far as downgrades go, some people really love their microSD cards, and the X5 Pro has the slot removed. The X4 Pro had a microSD slot, the X5 still has one, the new Pro doesn’t. This is a self-inflicted injury from Xiaomi.
The Poco X5 fared better – most people eyeing the X5 duo would rather have the vanilla model than the new Pro. The lower price certainly helps as does the microSD slot. The 48MP camera isn’t much to write about, although the Pro’s 108MP module lacks OIS and 4K video at 60fps, so its camera isn’t the main reason people want one anyway.
In terms of criticism, the X5 duo are phones launching in 2023 with Android 12 and Pocos are not known for their many or timely updates.
The Poco X series still has life, but in the minds of many of our readers it peaked at the time of the X3 series.
