The POCO M5 and POCO M5s are scheduled to go official at 20:00 PM (GMT+8) in the global market. Reports have claimed that only the M5 will be released in India, and not the M5s. The landing page of the POCO M5 is now available on the Indian retailer site, Flipkart. The listing confirms that the device will be announced in India at the same time globally. The Indian launch event takes place at 5:30 PM (local time) on Sept. 5. In addition, the microsite has revealed the key specifications and design of the M5.

The POCO M5 can be seen sporting a teardrop notch display on the front. Its back panel has a leather-like texture. The camera block houses a dual-camera setup, an LED flash, and a POCO branding. As can be seen in the tweet by POCO India head Himanshu Tandon, the POCO M5 will be available in at least yellow and blue colors.

As far as specifications are concerned, POCO has only confirmed that the POCO M5 will be equipped with the Helio G99, which is a new 6nm MediaTek chip. It is speculated that the POCO M5 will come in three options: 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, and 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage.

The global and Indian POCO M5 variants are likely to pack the same specs. However, the global model may carry support for NFC, while the Indian model will lack support for it.

Rumors are rife that the POCO M5 will feature a 6.58-inch LCD panel that offers a Full HD+ resolution. It may house a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. For security, it seems to be equipped with a side-facing fingerprint scanner.
