POCO X5 Pro 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.0/10
Verdict
The POCO X5 Pro 5G might not set new benchmarks, but that doesn't mean it is not a capable smartphone. The handset does not disappoint at all with its performance. It even offers a good viewing experience with its rich AMOLED screen and stereo speakers, while the cameras are more or less on par with its competitors. The phone's battery life feels a bit underwhelming for a 5G device, but the 67W fast charging solution compensates for that.
Pros
- Thin and lightweight
- Lovely AMOLED screen
- Stereo speakers
- Decent battery life
Cons
- Protruding rear camera's wobble is irksome
- Chipset could have been better
- Runs Android 12 out of the box
