Poco has recently launched its latest mid-range smartphone, the Poco X5 Pro, in Nepal. The phone was released in February of 2023 and has finally become available in the Nepalese market. Here’s a rundown of the device’s specs, features, availability, and official price in Nepal.
Poco X5 Pro Overview
Design and Display
The Poco X5 Pro features a stunning 10-bit OLED screen. The 6.67-inch display has the same 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate as its predecessor. However, the X5 Pro also has HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support, as well as 1920Hz PWM dimming to protect your eyes in low-light situations. The front has Gorilla Glass 5 protection for accidental drops and scratches.
In terms of design, the Poco X5 Pro looks very similar to its predecessor. It has a wide camera module design on the back and comes with flat frames. The phone is available in three colors: Blue, Black, and Poco Yellow.
Performance
Compared to its predecessor, the Poco X5 Pro offers a significant improvement in performance. Last year’s Poco X4 Pro replaced the Snapdragon 860 on the previous model with a mid-tier Snapdragon 695. This year, Poco has made amends by equipping the X5 Pro with the Snapdragon 778G.
The device is available in two configurations: 6GB RAM with 128GB storage and 8GB RAM with 256GB storage. Both models have a microSD card slot for memory expansion. The phone comes with the latest MIUI 14, but it will be based on Android 12.
Cameras
The smartphone has a triple camera setup at the back, with a primary camera that uses a 108MP ISOCELL HM2 sensor from Samsung. It is accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro sensor. You can record 4K videos from the back camera. For selfies, the front has a punch-hole cutout enclosing a 16MP camera.
Others
The Poco X5 Pro is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and supports 67W fast charging. It has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and face unlock for biometric options.
In conclusion, the Poco X5 Pro is an impressive mid-range smartphone that offers significant performance improvements compared to its predecessor. With a beautiful display, upgraded cameras, and fast charging support, it is a great choice for smartphone enthusiasts.
