The POCO F5 Pro is the latest smartphone from the Xiaomi sub-brand, focused on offering the best specifications at the most affordable price. For this reason, and after passing the Early Bird phase, it is available on the European market for €579.
It is a considerable price if we consider that the original PocoPhone F1 was released for less than €300. The big question that arises, facing the competition, is whether it is worth buying the Xiaomi POCO F5 Pro. In this article we list 3 reasons that can justify your purchase.
1. Wireless charging
This is POCO’s first smartphone with wireless charging. And anyone who thinks that the brand cut the battery field, or put a slow wireless charge for ‘English ver’, is wrong.
In fact, we have a generous 5160 mAh battery, and wireless charging reaches a decent 30 W. According to the brand’s figures, it allows the terminal to be charged wirelessly to 50% in just 32 minutes. And if you want to charge it wired, you get even faster charging at 67W.
2. Screen
Another highlight of this POCO F5 Pro is its screen. We have a large 6.7-inch AMOLED panel, with a 2K resolution of 3200 by 1440 pixels. In addition, the refresh rate goes up to 120 Hz.
These are the ‘minimum amenities’ for a good quality display, covering the entire P3 color gamut. Therefore, we can expect very reliable colors and good performance in low-light scenarios.
3. Processor
The POCO F5 Pro may not even have the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 running on it. But it has the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which was the most powerful Android processor on the market until a few months ago.
This means that it will be a smartphone capable of performing any task without any difficulty. If you add to this 256 GB of internal storage and 8 GB of RAM in the base version, we have a performance wonder for the price range.
These are just 3 reasons to buy a well balanced smartphone within your price range. It also has a 64 MP main camera with optical image stabilization, stereo speakers, NFC, and an under-screen fingerprint sensor.
