Poco X4 Pro debuted back in March 2022, and we’ll have to admit it wasn’t as impressive as its predecessor, Poco X3 Pro. But we’ll also have to admit that the smartphone came with a good-looking design. It’s 2023 now, and the release of the next-generation Poco X5 Pro is imminent. While we wait for an official announcement, a new report has revealed the launch timeline as well as key specifications of the smartphone. Here are the details.
A 91Mobiles report, citing tipster Yogesh Brar, claims the Poco X5 Pro will make its grand debut in the Indian market in the last week of January. The smartphone could share the stage with the vanilla Poco X5.
The report says the X5 Pro will arrive as a rebranded Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition, which debuted only recently in China. Tipster Kacper Skrzypek already revealed this in his recent tweet. This is not the first and clearly not the last time Poco will be doing this, so it’s not surprising.
Based on this, we can expect the Poco X5 Pro to pack a 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display with 1080×2400 pixels resolution and up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The smartphone will likely draw power from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC, paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Fueled by a 5,000mAh battery, the device could support 67W fast charging.
The Poco handset could feature a 16MP front-facing snapper. While for photography, it may have a triple-rear camera setup headlined by a 108MP primary sensor. The main sensor is expected to be accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro shooter.
While the specs of the device may remain the same as the Redmi Note 12 SE, it could come with a different design. We are saying this because last year’s Poco X4 Pro was also a rebranded phone, but it came with a novel design.
