Just need some pro advice... Do you think is worth to go pro with the difference of RM 300??? Is very tempting to be honest... Even I don't really use phone that a lot... But the features is freaking nice for pro...

Nice review but the video was all over the place at some points (example at peak brightness you typed that the non pro variant was at 1200 nits and the pro one was at 900). But thank you for the review it made me decide non the less

Hello there brother. In terms of Display quality & colours, speakers output, general performance and the main and selfie camera general photo quality (white balance, colour accuracy, dynamic range & low light) would you still go for the Poco X5 Pro, a Redmi Note 12 Pro or a OnePlus 10T?

[@babyeito3342]

Thank you for this

[@RandomGamer-ku6ck]

Any time I look for a budget gaming phone, I always want the 3.5mm headphone jack. I don't like using Bluetooth headsets, I've had too many occasions where I notice small amounts of audio lag even when it's like a 10th of a second

[@Kasilyn_S]

this is literally the reason i'm looking for poco phones rn, always had samsung phones but they ditched the headphone jack :x

[@RandomGamer-ku6ck]

@@Kasilyn_S I had a 2016 Xiaomi for ages and finally had to get another phone a few months ago. I've got the 11T pro now, no 3.5mm jack. BUT I was recommended to try Soundcore A40 earphones... Even for mobile gaming there's absolutely no delay on them at all, music sounds amazing, and the noise cancelling is brilliant. I actually use them in public even if I don't have music on because it lowers the amount of sensory overload massively! Don't think I'll ever look back now that I've found Bluetooth earphones that are comfy and work for everything

[@arifrahmanafandi4251]

Hi Adam I love your videos. I want to you to compare the Poco X5 Pro with the Xiaomi 12 Lite because the main camera sensor is same using 108mp Samsung ISOCELL HM2 and the chipset is same Snapdragon 778G, maybe you could do comparison with the previus Poco X4 Pro too that using same camera sensor but different chipset that the X4 using 695 version.

[@mini4dailytech982]

Hey Adam, which would you get poco x5 5g or xiaomi redmi note 11pro 5g?

[@englandcalling9721]

X4 Pro vs X5 5G & X5 Pro would be interesting. The X4 Pro and X5 5G sell at similar prices. Also, if 4K video and heavy gaming aren't vital, an X5 Pro is a high premium to pay, just to get this year's model. To show how prices have jumped, the launch price of the X5 Pro is similar to the launch price of the F3!

[@geniceka]

Poco f3 is the best poco till now except Poco f4 gt

[@bestchief_]

X5 pro is around 80 dollars cheaper then f3 here(launch price). X5 is also 100 dollars cheaper then x4 pro but you get less then x4 pro. Tbh both are still ones i wouldnt pick. Gonna wait for x5 gt or f5 pro

[@geniceka]

@@bestchief_ wait for poco f5 i think it will be good, and by the way X5 pro is better than x4 pro

[@heatsflamesman6080]

X4 pro ain't that good

[@hendra3009]

For camera which one is better x5 pro or m4 pro 4g?

[@theonepajai]

Nice video. By the way, i believe that poco x5 can only record max 1080p due to the limitations of snapdragon 695. Other phones with that chipset also have the same issue And i just realized that you are from KL as well. +1 subscriber to you

[@indahkurniawati7742]

Which one do you recommend poco x4 pro 5g or poco x5 pro 5g?

Are the x5 and x5 pro case compatible? They appear to be the same size and shape.

[@abhishekt747]

I have Poco M4 pro 5G bought 6 month back. Is it advisable to exchange the same with Poco X5 5G. Pls advice

[@stormkid4]

Not much here, especially if you already have a Poco f3 or Poco x3 pro. The screen is probably to only reason to upgrade, though it's not really much of an upgrade

[@jen18mar]

[@jamieslaughter4204]

Do you know what carriers it'll work on in the United States Will it work on AT&T or Cricket wireless or Verizon?

How is the proximity sensor? Does it works during calls?

Which companies are offering Call recording feature without alerting to call receiver ?

[@davee3897]

I have my music stored on an SD card and I was disappointed there is no access to copying it to the X5 Pro 5g. As someone who has had Xiaomi phones in different forms for 5 years I'll have to find an alternative or get last year's model. Who is making these decisions? A sale has been lost here

[@Dartnitt]

dude said he is gonna do gaming test further on and didnt lol. Also constantly changing place of the phones in the video without any text is confusing, especially that they are so similiar

So, which is the best phone to buy? I want one

[@ManishSharma-xs5ux]

Should i go with X5 pro 5g after what happened to other x series!!!

[@rhonabelleblanco-timonera6007]

Can you recommend the Pro for best budget phone for vlogging and selfie?

[@hitardo]

First time I am watching your videos, and I have to say: - Great pace, man! You got me hocked from beginning to end with your pace and - Positivity and small jokes, which are always entertaining; However, the thing that bothered me was you changing the position of the "regular" and the Pro version. Sometimes the Pro version was on the right, other time on the left, and occasionally it was on the upper part of the screen, and so on... It is distracting, and leads to some errors in analyzing the phones you are comparing. Nevertheless, I enjoy the video very much. Thumbs up for your effort, mate!

[@AdamLoboTV]

Hey there, thanks for your feedback and will keep that in mind for future comparison videos 🙂

[@Great.J2]

hi for x5 pro vs m4 pro 4g... which camera is better?

[@SushibarFan]

i am happy with the pro version, but still i repent that i didn't check poco pro does not have external sd slot before i ordered one

Why is there a blinking infrared light on top of pro version?

[@tranceformeeer]

Nice video! The SD card slot is missing from the pro model. I don't understand how could they do such a mistake...

[@inthelittlelightning]

not a mistake it's a marketing strategy they want you to buy the 256gb version but still it's a cheeky decision from them.

[@OdiKrause]

@@inthelittlelightning I hate this cheeky decision from the bottom of my heart.

[@xipi4595]

​@@inthelittlelightningi want that and a sd slot. the is the only reason I'm not buying it. Every specs match my need. Good thing I check before hitting that buy button.

I was confused when you said that pro is 8 grams heavier. Just a second ago at 0:49 the illustration shows that pro is lighter than non pro version

[@iANDhim]

Hello, does the phone support the ESIM?

[@Ulthion]

Its annoying, that all camera are bigger than phones now. Why they cannot make phone thicker? They would have extra 2 mm space for everything, it would looks better and would be more handy.

The POCO X4 GT and POCO F4 still available and have faster chipsets compared to the X5 Pro.

[@estherstepansky5256]

I don't understand why you docked the X5 for having the SD slot and gave it the A-. I think having it is a plus. Unless...did you mean the slot is there but you cannot use an SD card anyway?

[@FlubFlubber]

I ordered the poco x5 pro yellow/black. Normally I only buy a top model like the S23 ultra. But I like to test other devices. ;).

[@FlubFlubber]

@@RadioKaos1987 My honest opinion? Don't buy that one. The poco x5 pro is a midrange device. Go for a better device with better photos and video camera. Buy the S23 Ultra or the S23 or the S23 plus. You will be satisfied with that. The poco is good for people who just look something up and call and text, not for people who like decent photos and video. I also like the Samsung software better. I returned the Poco. Don't buy a midrange device.

[@kkulikov]

looks like there is no reason to by even pro version because for this price you can buy redmi note 12 pro 5g which is almost the same but has optical stabilizer

Thanks, I really like your side by side comparison. The Pro really rocks but I am very disappointed that the Pro doesn't have an SD card slot 😞 a 512GB version would have helped here. An outdoor image with both screens in sun light would have been nice, since the non pro is supposed to be brighter. I use my phone for flying FPV planes, the brightness in sunlight is significant to me. Using a Poco F1 since 4.5 years, running the LineageOS, I have never had battery problems, so the fast charging is not an issue, I'd rather have has the Pro with slow charging but SD-cards extension ... well I guess now I have to reorganize my routines with moving stuff off of my phone in order to be able to work with 256GB on a daily basis😞. Well I guess different people have different priorities.

@@tunone3266 you might also consider what I just did... Because they could not deliver the X5 pro as promised I canceled the order and went with the Xiaomi 11t pro, which is a slightly stripped flagship and because it entered the market 1.5 years ago, they reduced the price from around 750€ to now 350€ if you are lucky, which is an mazing deal.
