Poco F4 debuted last year as a true flagship killer, offering everything from a top-notch display to a capable processor. The cameras were a bit underwhelming, but hey, even the moon has scars. Its successor— Poco F5— is also in the works and a launch is expected to happen in the second quarter of this year. While we wait, the handset has bagged NCC and NBTC certifications with the former even revealing its live images. Let’s have a look.
It looks more like a Redmi Note 12
Poco F5 has been listed on Indonesia’s NBTC website with the model number 23049PCD8G. As usual, the authority did not reveal any specifications of the handset. However, the NCC listing of the smartphone gives us a good look at its design. As you can see in the images, Poco F5 resembles the newly launched Redmi Note 12 Turbo.


There’s a triple camera setup on the smartphone with two large rings and a small one. A Poco branding can be seen on the bottom of the rear. The front panel is flat and features a selfie camera enclosed in a punch-hole cutout. NCC also showcases the F5’s charging adaptor, hinting it will come bundled with it. It has been listed to pack a 5,000mAh battery.
Based on the latest certification and previous reports, it’s clear that the Poco F5 will be launched in the international market as a rebadged version of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo. The latter boasts some impressive features, and our review team believes it marks the return of the old Redmi (full review here).
The upcoming Poco F5 is likely to build on the popularity of last year’s Poco F4, which we regarded as a true flagship killer smartphone, and here’s the reason why.
