What's funny is that Xiaomi think they're being sneaky by updating the MIUI version but not the Android version by giving it Android 12 rather than Android 13.
They always do that. The real change to the OS is in MIUI generations. MIUI 14 on Android 13 (coming later) will feel the same as MIUI 14 on Android 12. They're not being sneaky, it's been their method for years. I'm fine with it
I still have the X3 Pro, thanks to you after watching your video, and it still holds up like new! Except I went out and custom rom-ed it with Pixel Experience. It is still a good phone to this day and the only downside of it is the IPS display
Used to have the X3 Pro, but dead boot issue last month. I tried avoiding Poco afterwards but upon surveys, it'll bring me back to the X5 Pro...might going to consider
UK early bird X5 Pro 8/256 £329. X5 5G 6/128 £249, 8/256 £289. Your tone of voice summed up my thoughts on the X5 Pro. To put it in perspective, I paid less, 10 months ago, for a new 8/256 F3, than the early bird price now of the 6/128 X5 5G! The X5 Pro is only £50 cheaper than an F4. The F4 looks a better buy.
Watching it on my poco f1, still waiting for its successor in its price range, still going strong with the help of massive custom rom community that poco has.
Seems like a greatly priced device, love the work, great review as always. I'm between this, the Samsung a53 or the OnePlus nord 2t but the Poco seems like a good deal. Keep it up!
Forget about the Galaxy A53, It's a super slow phone, Slow charging, slow performance, slow camera and it's thick. I had the A53 for about 2 months and it was a big disappointment, so I sold it and got a Redmi Note 10 Pro.. If you are set on Samsung, For the same price now day you can get the Galaxy S21 FE 5G which is decent handset with good performance and camera speed.
@@Giardintek i too have the A53. Its the worst phone I've ever had. Its soooo slow at everything. And it didnt last long. After 9 months of having the A53 it went into a reboot loop, kept rebooting automatically whenever it wanted to which happened like 50x a day. I went to the repair 4 times, using my insurance but they kept saying its a software problem and each time always reloaded the whole android software. Which did not help at all so now i gave up trying to fix that phone. My worst decision bjying that samsung, will never buy samsung because of this ever again. Now i have an 80eur phone as my backup. But want to get the poco x5 now.
I think I'll just stick with the X4 because I find it works fine for me and I don't take pictures or videos that much so I'm not too rushed to use a 4K camera
@@sw1zzy940 worse processor, smaller battery, lack of expandable storage, traded for bigger camera, faster charging, a nicer screen and a lighter frame. Not sure many will go for that.
@@MrGonzonator The Snapdragon 860 is an older processor released at the beginning of 2019; therefore; It is no longer optimized, it is a processor that heats up more and suffers from more Trothling. The battery capacity is the same but the X5 Pro has more autonomy since it has a more energy efficient processor, otherwise the X5 Pro is better
Depends... Amoled/lcd new one probbly got better cam but with not so weaker chip... Not that weak tho.. 778 got better GPU and more efficient cpu... Better charging... So yea its worth an upgrade... It might not be the top of the like SOC but its comparable to 860 plus where I'm from 5G's been alot of help pulling 700-850 mbps upl and 100+ mbps dl so...
I think a lot of people (including me) will rant that the Poco X3 Pro beats this new generation of device, released after 2 years! Only the AMOLED screen and the 108MP camera is better, otherwise it is almost identical to X3 Pro. Plus, there is a microSD card slot in the X3. I like Poco phones, but this is not worth to change my X3 Pro with the X5 Pro.
Honestly I'd change mine X3 Pro to the X5 Pro, no complaints about mine but the 778G chip is equally as good as the 860, this phone also has AMOLED screen and I don't even game on mine, I just want the best performance to get better longevity, would definitely swap if I had the chance.
Two reasons I can think of, one is after over two years the battery will be getting tired, which means a strip down to replace it, secondly the increased time span for os and security updates 😊
man, POCO keeps shooting itself in the foot with their recent releases. remember the F1 and the X3 Pro which challenged how phones are priced relative to their performance? now its just your basic midrange brand. still rocking my launch X3 Pro with 400GB external storage and looks like I won't be changing it out anytime soon thanks to custom ROMs and kernels.
in my place poco x3pro has serious issues.Many of them get get damaged on gpu and ram which very expensive and no part available on service centre.mostly because heavy usage and heavy modification. Did it happen in Us or europe too?my place is tropical so its already high temperature plus heavy usage cause damage on ram and gpu which unfortunately upside down/ sandwich construction tipe. A stain on legendary poco x3 series reputation{sad}
Thanks TS, This looks like a wordy upgrade to a Redmi Note-10 Pro, or would you say the Poco F4 is the one you'd get instead? We don't have the Global, Redmi Note-12 Pro avail yet here. The Poco X5 Pro sells for about $500- Cdn bucks here, which also buys me a Galaxy S21 FE or Pixel-7...
Looks nice. Coming from my X3 Pro I was considering the X4 GT but I think I could step away from the Dimensity 8100 for a still-decent SoC, better display, and slightly better camera, not to mention probably staying on the update radar a year longer. I'm not a mobile gamer so SD778G would do just fine, I have used a Galaxy A73 at length and it doesn't have any performance shortfalls for 95% of users.
i own POCO X3 pro from 2 generations ago and i can not believe POCO x5 pro still can not even match raw processing power with snapdragon 778G vs 860 on POCO X3 pro 😁 in other words POCO x 3 pro has still better processor compare to POCO X5 pro another downgrade is front facing camera 16 mp vs 20 mp on X3 pro and last X3 pro has 4k/30 video which reappeared on X5 pro after was missing on X4pro 🧐only upgrade on latest model is the screen
Check you out boasting about a 3 year old phone lol , i will be ordering my brand new x5 pro today . BTW you can still buy that garbage on ali express and i can not believe your nativity haha
Yep, just the raw performance. When used on Gaming 778G did better since it's more stable. And colder. Thx to it's 6nm manufacturing. Camera resolution (mp) it's not the only thing that can make you decide the camera is good and bad. Digital Processing, Lenses, Sensor, also interfere with the camera quality. Overall imo Poco X5 Pro it's supposed to be Poco X4 Pro. People will be more happy if this released 1 year ago. Amoled with thin bezel, 5000mah with 67w charging, Dolby Atmos support, etc. But I'll pass this one since i already using Poco F4
unfortunately that particular package has flaw as x3 body were never meant to take such heavy processor and lot of people's x3 pro died due to heat and massive strees of that 860, so poco never try these kinds of stunt again and went safe route with their new releases. yours is the lucky one
Is your version a presale version? You mentioned that the MIUI version installed is based on Android 13, but the "About phone" screen in your video is showing Android 12....
I have the X4 Pro as a backup phone. I like it but seriously it's still on Android 11....they update the system apps and that's it which i a shame seeing it has an sd card slot and jack.. Also they have this habit of dropping ads with the apps which I hate like I open the browser or gallery and wham bamm ADS so be warned if you hate that kind of thing.
The x3 pro imo you don't need to upgrade from. Basically the only real pros to the X5 Pro over X3 pro, is that the screen is AMOLED, which just means better contrast, slightly bigger battery, and a slightly better camera. The X3 pro is a significantly faster phone, like 25% more performance I believe. You really shouldn't upgrade unless there is something glaringly wrong with your phone rn
Idk about people complaining here wether it's an upgrade to their phone or not but whenever I buy phone I keep in mind that I'm gonna use it for about 4-5yrs before replacing it
I got a question, should i get this phone or the Samsung a53?, i come from an old iphone 6 plus (that was stolen a month ago), and my main concern is reliability, durability, software support and camera performance.
I've got my eyes on the Redmi 12 Pro + (Not discovery edition) but just seen this now & peeps are saying 200MP camera is just gimmick. Which would you say is best? (yes I know I'd have to import Redmi 12Pro +) Thx for the great content.
off course its not a gimmick 200 mp can provide extra detail when you zoom in at your raw picture but its require you activate 200 mp mode(camera) which greatly increased size per picture you made.
12TPro apparently is the higher end version ...but I was advised to skip 12T . If sufficient budget just go for the better specification and processing on 12T Pro
@@MrGonzonator sorry but no you’re absolutely trippin off your balls if you think true wireless earbud mics sound that good. wireless connection kills microphone quality not even airpod pros sound that good
Sticking with the X3 Pro, shame the X4 Pro and X5 Pro somehow still have worse performance than this one Not to mention the expandable storage being gone now 😔
@@akipan Oh oh! I can explain this! The magic word is Optimization :D The Poco X3 NFC for instance, has an overpowered processor for what the mother board itself can manage, you can't feel this cuz you don't need that much power but poco did that to put themselves on the map, the next generations put smaller processors that happen to be on the same specs as their motherboard, that way, you get the best performance, best battery, best of everything with what you have, while the old x3 has an OP processor that's bottlenecked everywhere by it's architecture :)
u people only care about performance....funny thing is that 778g has higher CPU scores than 860 only gpu is little lower...but they have almost the same antuu scores.. My point is f5pro is more of a all-rounder.. compared to x3pro..
Question: Does the Poco X5 play 4K.MP4 files from the gallery? On the X4 it does not play high resolution videos and consequently I can't upload them onto instagram!
Watching on my Poco X3 which is still going strong zero issues with it. Prepared to buy another Poco but removing Memory Card slot is what's holding me back! Come on Xiaomi! 😡
I'm trying to buy it now from the Poco an MI app but it's priced at 340 pounds in the UK . It should be cheaper by my books . Can anyone explain this ?
Marvellous review, very useful. I'm still battled between the X5 Pro, and the Redmi Note 12 Pro, regarding BOTH the performance AND the sound quality (I don't care about the camera). Which of the two is better? Thank you for your attention and support.
@@skygaki Reading around, it seems the X5 Pro is better... but I'm considering getting a LG V60 ThinQ... it dates back to 2020, is out of stock, but LG is still releasing Android updates (the latest it got, is Android 13), and it's a BEAST of a phone... it annihilates every phone in the same price range (I found it on eBay for €260.00)...
I got Poco x5 pro. The sound is not that high and I have trouble with Bluetooth (connecting to speakers it gives low volume). However I easily downloaded a well reviewed sound booster and only boosted the phone speakers for 20% and it's great. And it also imported the sound when connecting via Bluetooth to speakers. Side note: I'm having some Bluetooth issues connecting to my car to make phone calls though
I bought Poco X5 pro 256GB in Iran recently & it's awesome. Much better than my previous phone, Galaxy A53. Recent 2~3 years Samsung devices are just a waste of money.
I use a MI8 and altough I had to tweak the settings because it wasn't as straight forward as I thought, gestures do work with Nova launcher. Been running with no issues for around 3+ years (when I decided to try Nova).
I'm a very loyal customer. show me quality I'll shower you with money. the F3 is one of the best android devices to can get for your money. waiting for the F5/F5 pro, whichever sucks less
i own the legendry X3 Pro, the only thing i hate on X3 Pro is answering call during gaming season. Every fcking time the phone will kill your game in the background while you answer the phone call. A tiny little feature like pop out call window to answer calls in speaker mode while you're on full screen apps should be there ! there're 8GB of RAM for FUCK SAKE!
@@zed9617 they're target isn't being the most powerful budget gaming phone but the best overall budget phone so they have to out they're money to somewhere else
@@zed9617 Yes I have the f3 and I'm still amazed of how well this phone is designed. The sound even with bluetooth is amazing. The display is good. The colors are great. The phone still to this day feels snappy. Overall it's a great budget phone. I use it mainly for media consumption besides my iphone. It's a great and cheap way to use android. I just don't like the miui interface though. Stock android on these phones would've been killer.
depends what you want really if you're looking just for performance maybe if you're a gamer f3 is a lot better but if you're looking for all round phone for daily usage i would say go for the poco x5 pro not to mention it's newer so will get more security updates/patches than the f3.

I got a question, should i get this phone or the Samsung a53?, i come from an old iphone 6 plus (that was stolen a month ago), and my main concern is reliability, durability, software support and camera performance.
Poco x5 pro
What is the update policy for this phone?
I’m using a X3 NFC on the side, still gets security updates after 3 years!
Great Phone just bought it!
Does it work properly in the US and does it work with standard US sim cards??? I live in Champaign, IL
I've got my eyes on the Redmi 12 Pro + (Not discovery edition) but just seen this now & peeps are saying 200MP camera is just gimmick. Which would you say is best? (yes I know I'd have to import Redmi 12Pro +)
Thx for the great content.
off course its not a gimmick 200 mp can provide extra detail when you zoom in at your raw picture but its require you activate 200 mp mode(camera) which greatly increased size per picture you made.
Same, wondering what to get
12TPro apparently is the higher end version ...but I was advised to skip 12T . If sufficient budget just go for the better specification and processing on 12T Pro
@@babyeito3342 are you referring to the Xiaomi 12 or the Redmi 12?
besides the background noise that mic was shockingly good
Have a feeling it was actually his earbuds picking up his voice.
@@MrGonzonator sorry but no you’re absolutely trippin off your balls if you think true wireless earbud mics sound that good. wireless connection kills microphone quality not even airpod pros sound that good
hello. i choosing between this phone or the pixel 6a? im not gaming i love taking photos and videos. thank you
can you switch from back camera to front and vice versa while taking a video?
I'm sticking with my Poco X3 pro, the successors to Poco X3 pro are too weak.
Delightful device. I love the look. I just wish that they had it in blue.
Sticking with the X3 Pro, shame the X4 Pro and X5 Pro somehow still have worse performance than this one
Not to mention the expandable storage being gone now 😔
My exact thought. Why today midrange phones have worst CPUs?
@@akipan Oh oh! I can explain this! The magic word is Optimization :D
The Poco X3 NFC for instance, has an overpowered processor for what the mother board itself can manage, you can't feel this cuz you don't need that much power but poco did that to put themselves on the map, the next generations put smaller processors that happen to be on the same specs as their motherboard, that way, you get the best performance, best battery, best of everything with what you have, while the old x3 has an OP processor that's bottlenecked everywhere by it's architecture :)
The 860 and the 778G(+) aren't too far apart. But it's definitely no improvement on the performance part.
It's because of the 5G that's why the performance isn't much of an upgrade compared to X4 or X3pro
u people only care about performance....funny thing is that 778g has higher CPU scores than 860 only gpu is little lower...but they have almost the same antuu scores..
My point is f5pro is more of a all-rounder.. compared to x3pro..
Question: Does the Poco X5 play 4K.MP4 files from the gallery? On the X4 it does not play high resolution videos and consequently I can't upload them onto instagram!
Watching on my Poco X3 which is still going strong zero issues with it. Prepared to buy another Poco but removing Memory Card slot is what's holding me back! Come on Xiaomi! 😡
What exactly do you need or want an sd card for, I'm genuinely curious
Which is the best mid range "Chinese" smartphone with a notification light ? I'm struggling to find one had the C80 from Black view but it was rubbish
Should I upgrade to X5/pro when having X3 NFC?
Same I rlly wanna know
X5 Pro definitely
i did today and its great ;)
I'm trying to buy it now from the Poco an MI app but it's priced at 340 pounds in the UK . It should be cheaper by my books . Can anyone explain this ?
where did u get that cool wallpaper?
Where did you get those wallpapers from?
They look amazing
Hope a get a reply 😮 what do you think the poco x5 pro or the poco X4 GT
May I know what kind of screen protector is pre-installed, please? Is it tempered glass?
It's a plastic screen protector. It's better than nothing and it's free 🤷🏻
@@ricedbroccoli I found out when I took it off to replace it. Nevertheless, thank you.
Marvellous review, very useful. I'm still battled between the X5 Pro, and the Redmi Note 12 Pro, regarding BOTH the performance AND the sound quality (I don't care about the camera).
Which of the two is better?
Thank you for your attention and support.
wish Tech Spurt would answer, i'm considering between these two too and don't know which one to get :((
@@skygaki Reading around, it seems the X5 Pro is better... but I'm considering getting a LG V60 ThinQ... it dates back to 2020, is out of stock, but LG is still releasing Android updates (the latest it got, is Android 13), and it's a BEAST of a phone... it annihilates every phone in the same price range (I found it on eBay for €260.00)...
I have note 12 pro
I got Poco x5 pro. The sound is not that high and I have trouble with Bluetooth (connecting to speakers it gives low volume). However I easily downloaded a well reviewed sound booster and only boosted the phone speakers for 20% and it's great. And it also imported the sound when connecting via Bluetooth to speakers. Side note: I'm having some Bluetooth issues connecting to my car to make phone calls though
But I was also thinking of Redmi note 12 pro but this one has better performance and I'm overall satisfied
Hi. Does it support Google playstore app and android apps
Ofc it does
Will you be reviewing redmi note 12 series?
it will sell really good if they release POCO phones with clean stock android like their A series lineup of redmi and old xiaomi phones!
Does the video camera of this phone support boy mic or not or does the phone support OTG yes no
Absolutely love that yellow color.
I bought Poco X5 pro 256GB in Iran recently & it's awesome. Much better than my previous phone, Galaxy A53. Recent 2~3 years Samsung devices are just a waste of money.
مبارک باشه
£329, that's in the pixel 6a price bracket can you do a comparison?
Hi and thank you for the tour! I have a question: being a Xiaomi phone, can gestures be used with 3rd party launchers?
I use a MI8 and altough I had to tweak the settings because it wasn't as straight forward as I thought, gestures do work with Nova launcher. Been running with no issues for around 3+ years (when I decided to try Nova).
I've had nova launcher on my last two phones and gestures are built in to the nova launcher, so it's possible to get it done
I'm a very loyal customer. show me quality I'll shower you with money. the F3 is one of the best android devices to can get for your money. waiting for the F5/F5 pro, whichever sucks less
The mobile comes with google or miui dialer?
Bro, I absolutely love your review. Couldn't get any more British. You got a new sub. 😂
i own the legendry X3 Pro, the only thing i hate on X3 Pro is answering call during gaming season. Every fcking time the phone will kill your game in the background while you answer the phone call. A tiny little feature like pop out call window to answer calls in speaker mode while you're on full screen apps should be there ! there're 8GB of RAM for FUCK SAKE!
this guy literally never miss the trend....Bocchi now ? hAhAhAHA NICE ONE
Poco hasnt made a great budget phone since the f1 it truly was amazing with that sd845
You mean since the F3. Such a great phone with immaculate performance thanks to the SD870.
@@zed9617 they're target isn't being the most powerful budget gaming phone but the best overall budget phone so they have to out they're money to somewhere else
They have, it just wasn't released in this country. The X4 GT was/is a real budget powerhouse.
@@zed9617 Yes I have the f3 and I'm still amazed of how well this phone is designed. The sound even with bluetooth is amazing. The display is good. The colors are great. The phone still to this day feels snappy. Overall it's a great budget phone. I use it mainly for media consumption besides my iphone. It's a great and cheap way to use android. I just don't like the miui interface though. Stock android on these phones would've been killer.
Poco f3 was just chilling then boom Chrisley Leon appears..
And here i am with my redmi note 8(2019)
it shoot at 4k 30fps
How i get this type of wallpaper plzz tell me
hi chris, would u recommend poco f3 8 ram 256 (300€) or poco x5 pro 8 ram 256 (400€) ?
depends what you want really if you're looking just for performance maybe if you're a gamer f3 is a lot better but if you're looking for all round phone for daily usage i would say go for the poco x5 pro not to mention it's newer so will get more security updates/patches than the f3.
What app do use for wallpapers?
should i get the poco x5 pro 5g or wait for the redmi note 12 pro i currently have the redmi note 9 pro
Bocchi The Rock! wallpapers❤❤❤
I know it dangerous but for first time my phone is not so hot while playing genshin impact when charging...love this phone
Its Android 12 not 13. You can see it in your video yourself.
Yeah it is Android 12
I have an X3 pro🥲 and when i bought i said imma use till the X5 comes out but it looks its not that big of an upgrade yet🤷🏾♂️ ill wait for the X6 i guess
Can you disable the fingerprint function ?.
Nice..The game you played seemed very interesting so which game were u playing btw?😂
