Old poco looks better and at least it's cheaper… It would be game change if it had bigger battery, they make only chipset change that doesn't make any big difference, it's like having old phones with bigger price… 👎👎👎
I have a poco x3 pro, came from a galaxy note 4 before that.
The 2 most importat Features why i will stick with the poco series for as long as they keep the features are the 3,5 mm headphone jack and the infrared blaster.
Removing the sdcard is stupid move. I'll be keeping my x3pro for another year. I would've upgraded if it had the SD card slot. Idiots
I'll just wait for the GT version
Bro Where Is S23 Review 🥹
Doesn't work otg ?
wowooww
i used poco x2 before but now i need an urgent smartphone. mid price range. need a good processor + good display + fast charging. which one should i buy?

Do you know what carriers it will work with in the United States will work with AT&t, Cricket wireless or Verizon?
The X4 Pro was a huge disappointment, but what a comeback by Poco!
Snapdragon 778, 120Hz AMOLED, good cameras, very good stereo speakers, a headphone jack, excellent battery performance etc.
I know we're only six weeks in, but this might just be the budget phone of the year! 🙌🏽🔥
Alweys on display ?
Why nobody is talking about poco phones dies after one year ( dead issue )
Any news on the f5 GT ?
Does this Poco has ads baked in as the Poco x3 nfc?
Android 12 in 2023? Typical.
Please, what's the name of the basketball 🏀 game you were playing on your phone. I would like to download it too.
I can see the Pattern now. From a beast X3 Pro to these? Well, yeah I get all the downgrade but everyone should know that this is the most effective specs to achieve significant stability at all forms. And yes, this is best value mid ranger up to date, No Cap.
sadly they are not gonna bring this to indonesia … big sad F
It is a xiaomi 12 lite in poco dress 😔
shit performance compared to poco x3 pro
MIUI is disastrous ! 📵
It looks like the m4 pro 5g
How does this compare to the X4 GT?
What the fuck is going on with all these phones not having SD Card slots? Two sims are useless, especially when e-Sims are a thing, and some people actually need an SD card in order to keep work files separate. Then there's the ability to record in 4K, so yeah that 256GB is starting to look mightily small. And don't even get me started on the fact that they're still using USB 2.
My redmi with sd 636 and 4gb ram stutter sometime even just web surfing , so i am not sure isit the miui problem or the spec problem , hope anyone with higher spec phone could share your experience , cuz idk should i go for realme or just go for this if that's spec issue instead of miui
Got the x5 pro and tbh its an amazing phone
İ have poco x4 pro with 8gb ram and 255gb storage the only thing i wish is that a high performance chipset but overall im very happy that i bought this device its been 8 month and i dont have have any problems
I have the X3 Pro and I absolutely love it.
The X4 Pro was a big disappointment however the X5 Pro looks good both inside and outside, still think the X3 Pro is the king but if I wanted a better screen, definitely would take the X5 Pro.
Hii bro .poco x5pro have notification led?? Please replay bro
the price is similar to the poco f4 and the specs are even less. I think if you are looking for a good camera with a better chipsset I think f4 is better. But I hope a direct comparison through a video would be better.
Apparently it has a throttling issue so this phone is a easy skip for me, bye poco 😊
Why GSMArena always never testing about footage video in real life i mean when we walking, bcs wanna see the stabilization
Thanks for the review
Does it work properly in the US? SIM CARD
Does it work properly in the US and does it work with standard US sim cards??? I live in Champaign, IL
It's have auto call recording without announcement option?
No NFC?
Bro you don't just sound like a robot 😅😁 least your owning what I think would be common critique. Well done!!
Hello, does the phone support the ESIM?
You sound like a robot
