Poco is expected to launch a new smartphone dubbed Poco X5 Pro. As per reports, the successor of Poco X4 Pro will bring multiple upgrades.
The device will likely offer more value than any recent phone from the house of Xiaomi. Just like its predecessor, it will be based on the current-gen Redmi Note Pro series, which happens to be Redmi Note 12 Pro series.
Therefore, the Poco X5 Pro will share its design with the Redmi Note 12 Pro and will arrive in Poco-exclusive colors and finishes. We can clearly see this in the recent promotional leaks by the brand.
Based on the leaks so far, the Poco X5 Pro could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition for global markets. This means it will come with a different chipset and camera than Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus.
The handset is expected to sport a 6.67-inch 10-bit 120Hz centered punch-hole OLED display with up to a 1920Hz PWM dimming and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. It is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset paired with up to 256GB of storage.
The smartphone will feature a 108MP primary camera on the rear. This camera will be paired with an 8MP ultra-wide unit and a 2MP macro snapper.
Last but not least, the device is tipped to draw energy from a 5,000mAh battery with support for 67W fast wired charging.
Last year’s Poco X4 Pro was based on the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus. Therefore, the two devices were priced identically with Poco being slightly more affordable.
Since the Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition did not release in global markets (yet), we cannot certainly guess the price of the Poco X5 Pro. Anyway, there’s a high chance it could cost below ₹25,000 (~$300) in India.
Poco is yet to officially announce the launch date for the X5 Pro. However, the brand has started teasing the product.
