![]() I’m hoping the POCO X5 gets Android 13 soon as the current OS doesn’t have any new features to boast about, and lacks Android’s material UI design.The POCO X5, in contrast, will get Android 13 as well as the upcoming Android version that is set to launch on May 10th. POCO promises at least two major software upgrades for its devices, Android 13 will be the last OS update for the X4 Pro. However, there’s a significant difference: the X5 comes with Android 12 pre-loaded, while the X4 Pro received it via a software update. On the software front, the POCO X5 and X4 Pro both run MIUI 13 based on Android 12.The images remain usable in extremely low light conditions. The dedicated night mode only helps in reducing the noise level. Moreover, the sensors struggle with slow shutter speeds, resulting in blurry images. The images lack detail and sharpness, and the colours appear washed out. In low light conditions, the POCO X5’s camera performance suffers. The 2MP macro sensor is unable to capture crisp shots, and the low resolution often results in a loss of sharpness, while the colours may appear washed out. There is warping around the edges of the frame in otherwise decent-looking ultra-wide shots on the POCO X5. The performance of the X5’s 8MP ultra-wide lens and 2MP macro sensor is on par with the X4 Pro.Let’s take a look at the cameras’ performance: The selfie camera on the handset has also been downgraded from 16MP to 13MP. In terms of optics, the POCO X5 packs triple rear cameras with a 48MP primary unit instead of a 64MP, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor as offered by the X4 Pro.In contrast, the X4 Pro, with its 67W fast charging, can fully charge the same battery in about 40 minutes. The POCO X5 takes more than an hour to juice up its 5,000mAh battery from 0-100 percent. Apart from this, the phone comes with a 33W charging solution, which is over 50 percent slower than the POCO X4 Pro’s charging tech. The POCO X5 utilises a mono bottom-firing speaker for sound output, which can get quite loud but unfortunately doesn’t sound great.Besides this, there aren’t many significant differences between the two smartphones, except for the top edge where the POCO X5 has a 3.5mm headphone jack and IR blaster. But, despite that, the handset gets dirty rather quickly and requires regular cleaning to wipe off those sweaty fingerprints and smudges. The phone also sports a matte finish, which gives it a less glossy appearance. This makes the phone lightweight (188 grams to be precise) and comfortable to wield. Additionally, like the X5 Pro, the handset has a plastic back panel instead of glass, and the oversized camera bar is flush with the chassis, with only the camera platform protruding from the surface. The handset measures 7.98mm in thickness and weighs 189 grams. For one, the X5 features a curved back panel instead of a flat one, and its edges are sleeker than last year’s X-series offering. At first glance, the POCO X5 may look similar to the X4 Pro, but there are a few noticeable differences. ![]() The POCO X5 should be your choice if the latest software and higher storage capacity are what you are after. The two devices share many similarities, including the price point, and buying one over the other may depend on individual preferences. The POCO X5 feels like a variant of last year’s POCO X4 Pro, which continues to sell in India. Worth mentioning that the X5 seems quite similar to last year’s X4 Pro, so don’t be surprised if you see references to the latter popping up in quite a few places. Curious to know if the X5 offers the best value for its price like its elder sibling POCO X5 Pro? Read this POCO X5 review to find out. Now, to fill that void, POCO has introduced the X5 smartphone in India, starting at Rs 18,999. This left a gap in the sub-Rs 20,000 segment for the brand. However, the company priced it above Rs 20,000 due to the increasing cost of the smartphone components. The POCO X5 Pro, introduced earlier this year in India, was considered good value for its price.
