Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro officially debut in UAE
The Poco F5 series is making it global debut tomorrow, but the company's UAE branch jumped the gun and uploaded the two phones on its website today. The Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro's specs and images are thus fully revealed, and we are just missing the prices, which will be confirmed tomorrow.
The Poco F5 Pro comes with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and three memory combinations. It might look familiar, and that’s because it is essentially the China-only Redmi K60, but with Google Services and slighlty smaller battery.
The screen is 6.67” AMOLED with WQHD+ resolution - that is 3200 x 1440 pixels with 526 ppi, the highest density ever for a Poco smartphone. The panel supports 120Hz refresh rate and 480Hz touch sampling rate. There is a fingerprint scanner underneath and Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top.
The back has a 64MP main camera with Omnivision OV64B sensor, f/1.8 aperture and 6P lens, an 8MP ultrawide-angle shooter with 120-degree FoV and a 2MP macro camera. The camera setup supports OIS+EIS, a feature not widely available on Poco devices and making the F5 Pro slightly more attractive to camera enthusiasts.
The selfie shooter inside the punch hole has a 16MP sensor, but is limited to 1080p video recording.
Poco is quite proud of the 5000 sq.mm. LiquidCool VC which is a mix of stainless steel v***r chambers and graphite layers to improve heat conductivity up to 15%, compared with previous Poco F smartphones.
The battery of the Poco F5 Pro is listed as 5,160 mAh, which is lower than the 5,500 mAh cell on the Redmi K60, despite keeping the 67W wired charging and 30W wireless charging. OS is Android 13 with MIUI 14 on top.
