Good Camera Phone For LESS than $200? Poco M5s Review [2022]

[@GetMeOutOfTheBox]

finally a poco branded phone with a "reasonable" looking camera bump...the camera bump was quite ridiculous especially the poco x3 pro

[@TechMishka]

Indeed! And also - quite a slim design!

[@dimaivanov6926]

Great video! I purchased this phone for around 180 euro in Bulgaria. It's for my mother. Looks pretty decent for this money, after watching this video I think I have made the right decision. Btw, looks like I'm not the only one living in Bulgaria ^^

[@TechMishka]

An excellent choice for your purpose of use. And yeah, based in .bg too 🙂

[@MaxusMV]

A friend of mine asked me to find a good smartphone within $200 budget. I proposed this Poco m5s. They recently started to sell 8/256 version and he managed to order it at just $180.

[@TechMishka]

Excellent deal!

[@GeorgeZapantiotis-j1q]

Which one have better sound and generally is better. Redmi note 11 or Poco M5s?

[@MaxusMV]

@@GeorgeZapantiotis-j1q I would opt for Poco m5s: it has a 50% quicker processor and a better main camera. The only drawback is that the screen is 60hz (redmi note 11 is 90hz)

[@Bluemoon-official-e9r]

Just bought one at £135 for my son, sounds ideal for what he wants ! Thanks for the video...

[@TechMishka]

Awesome deal!!!!

[@adeildosilva9498]

I love my PocoFone M5s ❤😊

[@TechMishka]

Great to see that!

[@markteddy1480]

hi Michael which phone would you recommend between the tecno camon 19 and poco m5s (I would like phone with better camera and that can run games with big space well)

[@TechMishka]

Never heard of the Tecno Camon 19... So hard for me to say.

[@TechNomadUK1]

Does it have IP53 rating? And does it support Dolby Atmos? Does it have RAM plus like extending the RAM like Samsung? Does it in have Android 13 now? Screen protector pre installed?

[@TechMishka]

Hey Gino, most of the answers are in the video already. IP53 - yes. No Dolby Atmost. It has RAM Plus option. No Android 13 yet. You have to install the screen protector by yourself.

[@kuyaedcooking]

I think it OK for the price. I think the choises for many is to the price at this time and just take the short comings as it is. Not sure if i personally would buy it but I can imagine why many would. Prise wise..anyway did you get already the go pro 11 and the 11 mini in your hands and the new dji osmo 3??? Looking forward to see a review from you soon of those...

[@TechMishka]

Very well said - "ok for the price". Guess this is a positive thing now in 2022 with this inflation plaguing Europe...

[@Pres7012]

Hey Michael, could you tell me what camera set up you currently have for your narration of your videos? Thank you!

[@TechMishka]

Sure! I use Sony A7c, with Tamron 28-200 lens. For closeups I somnetimes use a somny 50mm f2.8 macro lens, and sporadically - a Samyang 35mm f1.4.

[@riccardosottocornola4693]

Hi and thanks for the video, great as usual. I know it's a busy period for a tech reviewer (especially for a good one like you) but I was wondering...when do you plan to release your personal review on the Amazfit GTR 4 you are wearing in this video? I really trust your opinion on smartwatches and I cannot wait to have yours on this device I'm evaluatig to buy. Thanks a lot!!

[@TechMishka]

Hey Riccardo, thanks for the comment. If sometimes you need my response urgently, you are always welcome to reach out via email. I managed to reach your comment just now and happy to say that the video is already out! 👍❤️

[@riccardosottocornola4693]

@@TechMishka thank you for the answer! It was nothing urgent, I waited patiently and I'm happy to say I already eagerly watched your review of the GTR4 😉

[@ivovass195]

Looks like a good budget device with a great amoled. Xiaomi at its best with rebranding existing stuff for different markets. Sometimes it feels like they would rather re release a device instead updating the android version of the older one which is a shame

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, agreed! I think they are finally improving a little in terms of software support. Also - having less devices to maintain, sounds like a good opportunity to be doing all this more frequently.

[@mosab7934]

Great vidéo thank you dude I Hope y remove thé music in the background

[@TechMishka]

♥️ I'll make sure to keep the levels low.

[@sirdee9607]

Nice review

[@TechMishka]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@PNEWSREAL]

Is supported external microphone ?

[@TechMishka]

Sure.

[@rosemariebontia7799]

3:53 what about that other camera

[@TechMishka]

It is mostly used for the bokeh as far as I remember.

[@khadijakarime5864]

Thanks you and poco m5s

[@TechMishka]

👍👍

[@epthproduction6052]

is it better then the redmi note 12 ? just got the note 12..

[@TechMishka]

They are quite similar

[@nijts2]

@@TechMishka so this is better then the normal redmi 12?

[@judesantillan]

i shared twice bro

[@TechMishka]

Thanks man!

[@unboxingsbym1885]

Soooo it’s basically the Redmi note 10s rebranded which you can get brand new at about $120 (at least in my country)

[@TechMishka]

Looks like it...

[@estonian44]

but what is the best 220$ "camera" phone? tq

[@TechMishka]

This one is among these. Realme have pretty solid devices too.

[@AncientRelicTales]

Boight it for my polish GF brand new for just 150€ shes happy

[@TechMishka]

👍👍

[@zenastronomy]

what's the miui debloater app? where on playstore can i find it

[@TechMishka]

Not in playstore. Check XDA developer forums.

[@jeslyny9692]

guess I'm buying for my mum who just need a simple phone to call n msg

[@TechMishka]

👍👍

[@androidboy1289]

YES ANDROID 14 ❤

[@TechMishka]

Yeeeaaaaah, would be lovely

[@GeorgeZapantiotis-j1q]

Redmi note 11 or Poco M5s?

[@TechMishka]

Hmm, that are very similar. Get the one at a better price.

[@ghgjhghgjh8832]

ممتاز خوش جه‍از😮

[@TechMishka]

🤔

[@BR7AVEONE]

All are the same phones, just different name on it and housing. But inside, those are just standard phones for grandma

[@TechMishka]

🤔Grandma liked her landline phone... 😎 But yeah, a lot of similarities.

[@lagounisIam]

This is the same phone as the Redmi Note 10S in the global market.

[@TechMishka]

Mhm...

[@Walter7ca]

Next time more front camera pictures

[@TechMishka]

Okay

[@freemasonry666]

Agree g95 > g99

[@TechMishka]

☺️

[@johnhenderson8869]

IT SOCKS M5S

[@TechMishka]

Why do you think so?

[@user-sd4wj6ow5j]

Since 2020 Poco has come to be an independent brand and already not part of Xiaomi

[@-COBRA]

yeah and that's why it is manufactured by xiaomi, using software by xiaomi, sends data to xiaomi and ccp... right?

[@TechMishka]

Well... that's what we were told. But reality and other clues point to the fact they are still quite close with Xiaomi.

[@jokjoan]

Still part of xiaomi.
