An Adreno 619 GPU is combined with the SoC to provide graphics. The variant shown on Geekbench has 8GB of RAM. We may anticipate POCO releasing the handset with 6GB of RAM as well.

Android 12 is preinstalled on the Poco X5. Most likely, MIUI 13 will be installed by default. If not immediately, POCO will probably deliver an OTA update carrying Android 13 in the upcoming weeks. The single-core and multi-core Geekbench scores for the X5 5G were 693 and 2113, respectively.

Other details are still under wraps, however, considering that the device will be based on the Redmi Note 12, we can expect it to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, an 8-megapixel front camera, and 48-megapixel triple rear cameras. A 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging capabilities, LPDDR4x RAM, and UFS 2.2 storage may be included.

While the Redmi model is equipped with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset, the Poco X5 will arrive with the Snapdragon 695.
