Poco F5 PRO Teardown Disassembly Repair Video Review

[@Daniel-ve2sm]

Just bought this phone few days ago since it has the best cost/performance ratio. It is absolutely amazing. Thanks for such an awesome video. Handy in case I would need it in the future. ;)

[@stn3666]

how is he ? Is it smooth in use and games

[@Daniel-ve2sm]

@@stn3666 I personally don't play games on phone much, so I cant honestly tell. Other than that it is awesome. Everything is loading super fast. I believe it wont have problems even with more demanding games.

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome 👍

[@jc008titan]

​@@stn3666 yes, great fps. i ranked in pubg mobile from start to conqueror in a week on this without any prior fps on phone experience. it was just so smooth in 90fps uhd graphics! it had some lag spikes when it heated up tho. but playing pubg mobile lasts about 2h and a half until battery is empty, 20 min charge and you're back to 100%. Love it! It can run mobile legends in 120fps too. The only issue is that it gets hot so fingers wouldn't be so slippery on the screen after an hour of play, and there are some fps drops, but not enough to get under 60fps. I use it daily, i have some days at college where i wake up at 6:00 and arrive back home at 23:00. The battery lasts enough to use the phone all day when bored, playing some games from time to time, reading books no problem. AND THAT'S IN 120hz 1440p resolution! So if you want it to last all day while playing some idle games or smth just turn down the refresh rate to 60hz and resolution on 1080p and you can use phone ALL DAY without pause! I got the phone one year ago and I love it! I don't know what better phone I could get that could also be as affordable. The price/performance ratio for this phone is INSANE! The phone also got TWO SPEAKERS, so headphones aren't a must.

What is your opinion about heat dissipation vs regular poco F5 ? Does the back cover glass help a lot?

[@PBKreviews]

I haven't used either for long term, but the F5 Pro does have a larger vapor chamber, however it also has a more powerful processor so a larger vapor chamber would be needed to help with heat transfer. As for the glass, its a plus for heat transfer but there is also the wireless charging coil over the battery which the F5 doesn't have so it might contribute to blocking or slowing some heat transfer since its thicker. Overall just based off what I can see, I would say the heat transfer on the F5 Pro is slightly better but both seem to be good.

[@medocarelo3323]

what is the purpose of the two holes on the back cover parallel to the 8mp ultrawide camera?

[@arshtat]

do you think we can add thermal pad or thermal paste beside the camera to make the apu cooler? i use a phone cooler while gaming but seeing that the backplate doesn't actually touch the components below, i suppose adding thermal pad so it would make contact would make it cooler?

[@PBKreviews]

It's possible. It won't hurt to try.

Finally, thank you. Ps: I use your videos as a reference in case I need to self repair. lol. ❤

[@tidepa81]

Hello, do I have to remove the back cover to change the glass from the camera, or can I just remove the glass like that?

[@PBKreviews]

You should be able to just heat up the glass and use a razor blade or xacto knife to pry off the glass since its only held down with adhesive. You don't need to take off the back cover.

[@MrDextining]

Hello Ser, i need to replace the Battery Cover because is broken , it's really simple as i can see in this video? Thanks

[@PBKreviews]

Just use a hair dryer, apply heat and use a suction cup tool to lift up the back to give you room to put a pry tool in between the back and frame. Then run the pry tool around to pry it off. If needed you can apply more heat while you are working your way around to make the adhesive loose.

might just be a secondary filter for the microphone. There is an additional rubber gasket/filter above the hole so you should be fine.

[@PBKreviews]

If the phone starts running sluggish or slow and heats up a lot over time, then you would look into replacing the thermal paste. Shouldn't need replacing any earlier than a year or 2

[@vacuity83]

does the chipset still sandwiched the ram like the poco x3 pro? coz it was a very bad thermal design.

[@PBKreviews]

Most flagships have stacked RAM, offers better performance. All comes down to quality of parts and cooling. Should have no problems if cooling is good and quality of thermal paste and parts are good. These seem to be much better than previous gen, so hopefully won't have issues.

Its a filler rubber piece, just there to fill up the space. The redmi k60 which this phone was rebranded off of (basically the same phone sold in a different market), uses a larger battery so the frame and design is the same but since this uses a smaller battery it has that filler to fill the gap.

Phone coolers like external fans only cool off the outer housing. They do still help by helping transfer heat that is coming from internally to the housing faster by cooling off or blowing off the heat.

You must be right. This is BM5N battery and Redmi K60 utilizes BM5M battery. I wonder if anyone has put BM5M into Poco F5 pro. It is roumored that BM5M 5500 mAh in Redmi K60 is software limited to 5250 mAh to prolong its life through not charging and/or discharging it fully. Maybe BM5M, if put into Poco F5 Pro, would deliver its entire capacity? I'm afraid BMS circuit is built into battery and would not allow that.
