i got this at 11,500 pesos sale on Lazada. Very much worth it for its price/performance ratio.

[@Firzj]

I'm stuck between Redmi note 12 pro 4G, Redmi 12 Lite, Galaxy A34 and Poco X5 Pro 🤔 But Poco definitely surprised me and I'm thinking of buying it. I don't care about games, I just need decent amount of memory, and high-quality camera 😀

[@Chrisispoint]

ah well to be honest, between the options that you've provided, the X5 Pro has the most value for the money. Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G/ Redmi 12 Lite - not really that impacting with overall performance to price ratio and the Galaxy A34 is a little overpriced in my opinion for it's specifications.

Yes! totally agree, i mean for the price sure it is a win, and for anyone who gets this I'm pretty sure it'll do just fine but for those who uses a smartphone for photography or prefer a smartphone over getting a DSLR for utility and efficiency purposes, that's the maining selling point that it has to achieve.

I received POCO X5 pro a week ago and playing PPSSPP emulator and with low graphics I have several fps drops. But it is extrange, as the mobile phone does not heat at all and has very little battery drainage. Is it possible that it automatically cuts its max performance?

[@Chrisispoint]

It is possible, it is technically still considered a mid range device after all and so far emulators tend to perform differently depending on the main chip. Quite rare for me to encounter a graphic intense PSP game to run smooth on a Midrange device, usually i get to play smoothly on a flagship chip

i am having a confusing time to decide if i should get this or redmi note 12 pro 5g.. pls send help :,)

Honestly there isn't really much to think about, spec wise the X5 Pro is better. And usually for mid range devices, it is always the ideal route to go for the latest one.

[@FarisFarooqi-yi6mb]

Hello I have a really important decision to make between the Xiaomi Redmi note 10 pro , Xiaomi Redmi note 11 pro or the poco x5 pro 5g , my father really said it depends on you. But I am really really confused. Can you advice me which one is the best out of the two interms of everything or overall please let me know ASAP because I don’t have enough time my father gave me around a week to decide.

[@Chrisispoint]

Quite frankly your confusion is quite simple, clearly the POCO X5 Pro 5g is the newer device which means - any bugs of previous models are no longger existing - newer internals makes it more efficient and performing - newer software which means longer software support - If you've seen my video, considering that I've tried out previous redmi note devices, in my honest opinion especially when it comes to midrange devices, always go for the latest one. The experience isn't the same as getting a flagship that was previously released 1-2 years ago. The only real incentive you'd get if you were to choose the Redmi Note 10 Pro/ Note 11 Pro is the price as at this point in time they're cheaper, but overall performance you'd be better off with the POCO X5 Pro or the POCO F5 if you can stretch the spending limit a bit 🙂

[@TechNomadUK1]

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?

[@Chrisispoint]

Ah you put a rather difficult comparison 😅, between the Redmi Note 12 Pro and the X5 Pro, i'd go for the X5 Pro, however in contrast to the 10T, this is a rather hard comparison since the 10T caters to a flagship chip which means overall raw power and performance will be ahead of the X5 Pro and I have a soft spot for OnePlus despite their recent merger with OPPO

[@TechNomadUK1]

@@Chrisispoint If we consider what the SoC does to help with the photo quality would you say the 19T is still superior than the two other phones? Or not?

[@Chrisispoint]

Probably if you factor in what the SoC can do with the overall output of the photo taken then I'd say yes, the 10T would still come out on top. Although, this could also be a case similar to a previous Xiaomi phone released a few years ago which is the Mi note 10 Lite, despite being a mid range device the camera performance was superb so I think the only surefire way to determine which is better is for you to take the leap on which to go for and see for yourself or if there's a store nearby that has demo units that would work too

[@leeskies329]

i had a poco x3 that bricked quite fast, have you noticed/ are you noticing any heating issues or stutters increasing with time? the poco x3 going down was too much for me to handle at the time considering the price and the time and data i put into it, so i'd be really relieved if you could give me a reason or two to not be worried about this one here :| the review is great btw, practical and relatively short. ty for that!

[@Chrisispoint]

I totally understand the hesitation coming from the X3, and in all honesty the X5 Pro is a big leap forward, 2 & 1/2 generations over the X3. So a lot of improvements have already been made in contrast to the previous model. Heating or Lag, at least for me and my usage, I haven't encountered any, but if you're trying to play it safe, and to get your money's worth, i'd reco to go for the POCO F5 instead (the non pro) it has next the next gen chip which is super optimized barely encountered any heating or lag at all and performs just as good as a flagship device but with midrange specifications fit for 2023 🙂

[@RealXFool]

I'm using my poco x3 pro for 2 years now and it's been fantastic, I'm wondering if I should buy x5 pro now.

[@Chrisispoint]

Just like someone who made a comment about the F3 in comparison to the X5 Pro 5G. If you're going to compare paper specifications and synthetic benchmarks, the X3 Pro will come out on top mainly because of the processor, however you have to put into consideration the upgrades the X5 Pro 5g comes with - AMOLED 120Hz display - MIUI 14 - 67w fast charging - better camera optics - IP rating for splash resistance And because it is the newer model, this will get years of software and security updates in comparison to the X3 Pro

[@nikkihashimoto316]

Same here. Lol

[@ricedbroccoli]

Honestly I wouldn't. The main upgrades on the X5 pro is, AMOLED instead of LCD, 5G on top of 4G, bigger battery, fast charging, and a better camera. None of those things particularly are worth spending 300 for and going though the pain of switching phones expecially when the chipset is weaker in this model which is the most important thing all around. A more suitable upgrade would be the Poco F4 or F4 pro, but unless your phone is having issues that can't be solved with a factory reset, then you don't really need to upgrade

[@subgivtara]

On paper they have same performance

[@ultra6029]

I plan on choosing the pro but will this be worth it for me to buy as someone who is money conscious? I just don't want to regret my purchase as this is beyond my allowance but I saved up enough money to buy it. and will it be worth it for long term use? (talking about 3-4 years and i focus on general use, gaming and camera.)

[@Chrisispoint]

I think it would really depend on the user specifically, I've used previous POCO devices and haven't encountered any issues despite what others may have encountered or claimed so I think it is okay from your perspective. However, if you're not that confident, best to go for the brand that you're more comfortable with.

[@gizmo6746]

@@ultra6029 you can snap any smartphone in half. This is b.s spread by paid influencers .

[@Chrisispoint]

Here's the thing. 1. Why would you snap your phone in half or even attempt doing so after spending your hard earned money? The only reason why they do this is because of that fiasco that took place with Apple's bendgate. But generally speaking this is something you wouldn't do. 90% of the time consumers would strap on a protective case because you want it to last long, so doing so lessens the probability of it breaking or "snapping in half".

[@TechNomadUK1]

Hello there brother. Can I ask... Between the X5 Pro and say the OnePlus 10T which you guys think have a better & brighter display (under direct sunlight), louder & crispier speakers (w/ a bit of bass), better selfie camera ( in HDR, sharpness, skin tones,) and a more robust Gallery/Photo Editor? Please help. Many thanks.

[@Chrisispoint]

I actually have not been able to test/review the OnePlus 10T, but from what i've gathered, the 10T is a bit of a hit or miss or leaves an impression where the good stuff will be dependent on who is using it. Some may like it, some don't. Though I've used Oneplus devices in the past and the only thing that I've liked as a whole was Oxygen OS, less resources and all that power makes everything buttery smooth. Though I don't think a lot has changed in terms of the camera but as far as the "Gallery/Photo Editor" I'd say this goss to the X5 Pro 5G, or you can just use apps like Snapseed or Lightroom.

Personally I'd still pick the X5 Pro, it just performs much better in my opinion versus the Redmi Note 12 Pro. In contrast to the realme GT Neo 3 however, this will boil down to your preference, both devices perform great in the camera dept, on the flipside, most apps are more optimized on Snapdragon as opposed to MediaTek. With the proven track record, I'd still probably go for the X5 Pro, but not sure if you were the person I reco'd this to, but if you're able to squeeze out the extra cash, go for the F5, that will surely beat the comparison between the GT Neo 3 and the Redmi Note 12 Pro by a big stretch 🙂

[@adrenalinjunky]

Yeah but you can delete them all.

[@Chrisispoint]

Yes, but most of which can be deleted or disabled. It's not that bad that would make the device slow. In addition, the S10 lite (flagship) costs much much more SRP launch, in contrast to this device, so even if it did have any bloatware or ads that can be deleted/disabled, in exchange for the price point, it's not a big deal really.

[@DrChanIMH]

@Chrisispoint Do you think X4GT is a better buy considering it's 15% cheaper over here? 8gb ram instead of 6 for X5 Pro

[@Chrisispoint]

I don't think so. For one, the screen is an IPS LCD, and although it has a relatively powerful chipset, that's still a dimensity chip and we all know that games are more compatible with snapdragon chips. in reference to the RAM, the X5 Pro has the newer MIUI which is a lot more lighter and efficient, so even if it only has 6 GB of RAM, there's the virtual RAM, which you can use to increase the RAM of the device. and because it is newer, at this point, I wouldn't recommend the X4 GT over this, probably if you really want that particular model sure, but me personally, i would go for the X5 Pro, there's just so many upgraded features that makes it a lot worth it.

I hesitate between the poco X5 pro 5g and the Xiaomi 11T pro. This is to replace my redmi note 8 pro. I play 3-5 hours a day (games like dragon ball legends, dislyte, saint seiya awakening and I take 2-3 pictures a week. Budget level, 400€uro in France. Thank you. Or waiting the POCO F5 PRO.

[@Chrisispoint]

Well, it's quite too early to tell if there would be a POCO F5 Pro, rumors are just plain rumors. However in reference to your comparison, like what I've told the other one who made a similar comment, on paper the 11T Pro will have the better performance because of the flagship chip and better camera optics (i think) although I've only tested the 11T which didn't really lean towards my liking, but performance wise it's a win. The only downside that I see is the updates, i'm not 100% sure if the 11T Pro is supposed to get more than 2 major software updates so from the time of launch to now... it's not gonna be that far off until it won't get updates anymore unlike the newely released X5 Pro 5G, but it's totally your call 😊

[@guineapigolympics]

@@Chrisispoint Okay, thank you, I translated your text with "reverso" I don’t speak English. I asked around and the number of updates on this either on the 11T or the poco X5 will be the same. And for the F5 Pro, it has been certified, and is due out in 2-3 months in France. So you’re telling me it’s my choice, but the 11T pro is better in performance and photography? Thank you.

[@Chrisispoint]

Of course it will always be your choice. There are just some who prefer the newer stuff but if an older model makes more sense to you then go for it 😃

[@guineapigolympics]

@@Chrisispoint I have a crush on the poco X5 pro, but it was people who told me it was better and it was not the same category of smartphone as the 11T pro was released at 650-700€. So for them, the 11T is necessarily better.

[@Chrisispoint]

Well from a realistic standpoint, having to by a flagship that was released a year or two ago is still a bargain considering the possible drop in price versus the specsheet it comes with. In some cases this is still the better option compared to getting a mid range device for the same price point, it's really just some aspects that make it hit the breaking point of what really matters to you and what you can live with for the duration of you using this new phone.

Alin ang mas sulit between "Poco x5 pro and Poco x4, GT?" hirap Kasi mag decide

[@Chrisispoint]

Actually pag kinumpara mo sila based on spec sheet at synthetic bench marks, lalabas na mas okay yung numbers ni X4 GT. Pero kung titignan mo yung features ni X5 Pro, for me, mas sulit siya: - AMOLED 120Hz display - MIUI 14 - 67w fast charging - better camera optics - IP rating for splash resistance Plus, depende nalang siguro kung saan mo siya bibilhin but base sa presyo, mas worth it si X5 Pro 5g

I have the Poco X5 5G, but I'm having an issue enabling the QR code scanner in the camera settings. When I enable the QR code scanner and hit the back button, the QR code scanner is disabled (greyed out). Anyone having the same issue?

[@Chrisispoint]

Not for me, you can try to force stop the camera app see if that helps, or perhaps Google lens since that's usually the default that scans/reads QR Codes

Which phone has better camera quality poco x5 pro 5g or realme 9 pro plus?

[@Chrisispoint]

I've been waiting for someone to ask this question! Quite frankly although the camera optics of the X5 Pro 5G are better than previous POCO devices, the 9 Pro plus has the edge on this as the primary lens on that is the same flagship lens from flagship phones in 2022

[@zydonllado532]

poco x4 gt 5g or poco x5 pro 5g ?

[@Chrisispoint]

ah that's easy, between those two, I'd go for the X5 Pro 5G, why? - Camera is much better - AMOLED Display - Newer device (more software updates) - More affordable - The design looks a lot more premium and has a good feel - Price to value ratio

Is this phone better than xiaomi 11T pro?

[@Chrisispoint]

That probably depends on how you compare the two, if you're just dependent on paper specifications and benchmarks then no, the 11T Pro will come out on top. Although I didn't get to try out the 11T Pro, I did get to use the 11T and wasn't exactly happy with that device, the X5 Pro 5G however, was such a fun experience.

[@janac7028]

@@Chrisispoint yea poco seems great and I love that it has a headphone jack. But I take a lot of photos with my phone and poco seems great at that too, but I don't know if it would be better than 11T pro

[@Chrisispoint]

From what I've heard from fellow tech reviewers, the camera performance of the 11T Pro is a lot better than the 11T, so I guess that's where the definitive factor is. I guess if it provides any merit, since the X5 Pro 5G is newer, it will have more software updates which can optimize the device for the better for the next 2-3 years since it is new as opposed to the 11T Pro, but if that doesn't matter for you, then I guess your pick which is the 11T Pro is the better option.
