It’s not only the name of the key on your keyboard, it’s also a refreshingly fast smartphone!
The POCO line of products offers a reliable number of smartphones that are always eagerly awaited. The F5 is no exception, with a number of upgrades over its F4 predecessor while keeping the same release price of €400 (around $400 – $435 on some US retailers).
This new smartphone might be a mid-range device, but it’s still a blazing fast offering. Its new Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is comparably better than other smartphones on the same price range. Benchmarks do not necessarily translate to day-to-day use, but they are a good metric that predicts how good will the performance be. And in POCO F5‘s case, it’s blazing fast like a racecar.
On the cameras department, the POCO F5 features a main 64 MP camera, as well as an 8 MP Ultra-wide and a 2 MP macro cameras. These are somewhat common specs for the price range, and they allow for excellent pictures and video taking on 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 30, 60, or 120fps. The front (selfie) camera boasts a respectable 16 MP wide lens.
Paired with these great cameras is an amazing screen that you can watch your videos on, and even play videogames smoothly (in great part thanks to the processor and GPU). The screen is 6.67 in AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its 1080x2400px resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, 395ppi density and up to 1000 nits of brightness as well as a 93.4% of screen ratio provide a perfect display for watching videos on your favorite streaming services.
