The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The POCO X5 pairs a sharp 120Hz AMOLED display with 5G, but its Snapdragon 695, Android 12 software and battery performance temper the experience.

What is good

  • Super AMOLED display reaches 120Hz and 1200 nits peak brightness.
  • 5G and dual-band Wi-Fi provide modern connectivity.
  • Main and selfie cameras cover essential everyday photography.

What is not

  • Snapdragon 695 and Adreno 619 are modest for demanding games.
  • Android 12 and MIUI 13 for POCO feel dated.
  • The 5000 mAh battery is a relative weakness.
