The Redmi Note 12 Turbo is set to launch in China later today. This smartphone is expected to release as Poco F5 in global markets.

A few days back, the F5 was tipped to go official on April 6. Though we are only about a week away from the said date, the firmware for this handset just went live recently.

Let’s check out what the software for this phone has to say about it.

According to Xiaomiui, the Poco F5 will ship with four MIUI builds meant for different markets. These Android 13-based MIUI 14 builds are labeled as India, Global, EU, and Russia. Hence, the device should be available in these markets.

Since the software for Poco F5 just got ready now, the smartphone might probably not go official next week. Additionally, we are yet to come across any official renders of the device from retailers and other sources, which should have happened days earlier.

All of these point towards a later launch for the Poco F5. However, until the brand confirms the date, we cannot be sure of it. If the handset is indeed going official next week, then we expect Poco to officially reveal the launch date by the coming weekend.

As far as features are concerned, the Poco F5 will arrive with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 chipset, a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display, an OIS-assisted 64MP main camera, a 5,000mAh battery, and 67W fast wired charging support.
