I actually like the white version alot more than the black. It has this frosted look to it and you won't see fingerprints either.
Yeah it looks really stylish, the black one is too generic
Yes I am thinking about getting a white one as well but needa check it in store first
The blue one doesn’t look that bad either and it even has a matte finish
Same here I got it white version
Only thing I don't like, on the sides you get tiny white bars on the front, I like it better in black in the front. And I don't care much about the back anyways. Am not looking at the back, when using.
I ditched my F3 for Pixel 6 a year ago, and now I'm thinking of reverting back to Poco with the F5. The specs are just perfect for 2023! Can't wait to pair it with a nice custom AOSP Rom.
Ja to samo :D od razu go rotuje. Jaki custom rom polecasz pod wydajność w grach? Ja na poco x3 pro używałem crdroid + ngk kernel + ngk or fkm apk i w grach stabilne fps 120 potrafilem miec. Ogółnie gram w wwh2
I have the F3 and it is a great phone. This F5 is several steps up from it though, and that's saying something. I thought the F3 was one of the best deals around when it released, this F5 may be the actual best deal I've seen this year around $400.
@@artdogg50 The limited band on this phone may be an issue if you use it in the USA. Where do you live?
@@timothylee2772 I do live in the US and had no issues with network signals on my Poco F3 no matter where I went when I was using it. This series has dropped bands 12 and 17 though, which is very disappointing. Band 12 is really helpful for low signal areas. I have no plans on buying it or any other Poco phone though right now.
@@artdogg50 I wonder why Xiaomi did that? I would assume Poco F5 is still usable in USA for most purposes.
I have the Redmi version of this and I couldn't wait for you to review it under the Poco brand!
Very weird comparison but I'm curious what your opinion is for someone shopping for a mid-ranger looking at Poco F5/Pro vs Nothing Phone (1). I know processors are totally different but they're in the same price region with Phone (2) looking to be a little more expensive. Camera, UX, and maybe some short gaming.
Great video. Loving the edit and transitions. Great job!
Nice! Thank you for including MLBB into your review especially both ultra settings. This is really helpful! Thank you!
Bro, what's with the snapdragon 8 gen 1 score? Which device is that? My Moto 30 pro scored 1600+ single 3700+ multi.
Can i know is the 8gb RAM &12gb RAM does both of them have different antutu score or still same?
man that is one of the best chipset ever, great CPU performance and good GPU, perfect for me who don't really game that much but still want flagship level CPU
@LimReviews hows the camera compare to RN12?
bang kalau dipake buat screen record sambil main mobile legends fps & graphic max, mulus ga bang? quality screen recordnya max bisa seberapa tinggi bang?
I'm about to buy the little f5, but watching videos of the reviews in Spanish are rubbish, your video helped me a lot. Greetings from Costa Rica👍
Ive been using Redmi Note 12 Turbo (aka Poco F5) for two months, and honestly its a good upgrade and dont regret ditching my Redmi Note 9 Pro. Small bezels, almost flagship level Soc, High refresh rate and audio jack. The cons is the plastic back got easily scratched.
Oh my God! I am planning on getting POCO F5 myself, and coincidentally I have a Redmi Note 9 pro as well. I am probably going to save up for another week and a bit, but how is the phone? What are your personal pros/cons of upgrading from Redmi note 9pro?
Same i also have redmi note 9 pro and planning to buy poco f5
@@alucard6607 the only cons so far is that it doesn't have expandable storage. Overall it is a fine upgrade from RN9Pro
@@BLSX1 cheers
Also currently own the Redmi Note 9 Pro and looking to get the Poco F5. Can get it for £323 right now.
The early bird price really make other phone maker no need to compete oredi lol. This processor too geng and price nice. Win ✌️
Hi..i'm F4GT user n no issue all good.. should i buy F5pro or non pro version?..
Does it still have adware when you want to use stock features? Its so annoying, when even things like changing settings you have to see ads.
Definitely I would go for F5 than F5 Pro since it got headphone jack (main priority), more bezeless, newer chipset, slightly cheaper, more than enough performance overall and what I need for me. F5 Pro obviously good, with more and great features. F5 is enough if you ask me.
yeah.. I also prefer the midrange 7+ gen1 chipset... similar performance to 8gen1.. but more power efficient !
i just hope some company would put the 7+gen2 chipset in a smaller phone though :(
Headphone jack is a priority nowadays?
@OoduMalare not necessarily.. it's just sometimes wired earphones produce much better audio than bluetooth one.. so it's a pleasure when listening to songs.. especially for audiophiles
Plus the better battery life of Poco f5
@Lim Reviews Hi, Thank you for the great review. How does POCO F5 compare to XIAOMI 11T PRO in terms of speaker quality? Regards
Just got my F5 3 days ago...seems like mine doesn't have the auto brightness issue
When the midrange becomes more than good enough.
As Marques famously said: Cheap phones are getting good. And good phones are getting cheap.
Edit: I also got to say, your reviews have definitely improved since I last saw your video. Kudos and an extremely good job to you and the team.
Here's to 300K Subs, hopefully by the end of 2023 :)
Is there any need to reset the phone after updating the security patches?
What is the launcher/skin/theme you are using on the Poco phone?
So they didn't fix the auto brightness issue from F3?
wow. your video quality is really superb nowadays. bravo
Is this a good upgrade from an iphone 11 pro max? Il use it mainly for gaming
Im using the Poco X3 pro and it was quite adfordable considering I bought it for gaming specifically and the successors in the X series really dropped the ball in terms of SD processors, a terrible downgrade. Definitely considering the F5 now.
Same here haha x3 all day
Same
It's great
same here x3pro for gaming.
need grab this f5
Can consider F4 if is not out of stock.
Been eyeing on note 12 Turbo, finally they release this n immediately I ordered the white one. Gonna use this for gaming only.
How is the camera?
@@shahul8222 just ok. Not too good. Not too bad.
I can't wait for the Poco F5 GT. I've been loving the F4 GT that I bought last year and from what I've seen, the next installment of this series is going really great!
Can get this for £350 or an excellent condition refurbished oppo find x3 pro for £297. Which is better?
It's that difficult question of is a 2023 midrange phone better than a 2021 flagship?
Mybe masa untuk tukar phone baru... Harge pon mcm ok.. lani pakai oppo a9 2020... Tu pn bli ngn kawan..
Damn planning to get this! ❤️
Is this Poco F 5 available to buy here in Malaysia?
Some people said that Redmi Note 12 Turbo or Poco F 5 isn't available in Malaysia....
Actually, I wanna buy it.
If You see my comment, plz reply me Mr Lim....Thanks
This is the real deal. Finally a return to the days of Poco f3.
F3 pro was 160£, f5 pro is 450£. Not a deal at all.
@@maxdredi You want flagship level specs for £160. 🤣
@@maxdredi bad comparison, you need to compare it to other latest phones with same chipset and you can definitely see the difference. Not ideal to compare previous models and it's latest model because of specs that definitely resulted in an increase in price but competitive to the market.
@@maxdredi since when theres a poco f3 pro ?
@@maxdredi bro the Poco F5 is already ways ahead of the F3 Pro.
Can you disable app drawer in poco phones??
Did poco fixed the big problem of the proximity sensor?
I was contemplating which phone in the same price range should I buy next week. My options were Samsung Galaxy A54, Oneplus Ace 2V, Poco F5, and Realme GT Neo 5 SE. It took days for me to decide. This morning I came up with the conclusion to buy Poco F5. Here are my reasons,
A54 is IP67 certified and it has 4 years of Android updates & 5 years of security patches. Impressive! But its charger doesn't come in the box. That's wack af. And most midrange phones nowadays support over 60W fast charging. But this A54 only supports up to 25W. Bullsh*t! And design wise, its bezels are so thick, and I do not see any reasonable reason for Samsung to come up with that thick bezels as its predecessor has thinner bezels. Its processor is such a trash too. I'm a heavy gamer. A54 only supports up to 'High' setting for PUBGM. That's where I decided to kick it out from my options line-up.
For Oneplus Ace 2V, in terms of performance and cameras, they're great and its performance is just as great as Poco F5, I believe so. I don't really care about cameras because I don't really take picture. I don't know much about this phone but one thing that I know is that it's not available in Malaysia. Can only get the Chinese ROM. I don't know how reliable it could be if I buy it. I was about to decide to choose this one but I have hesitation with the Chinese ROM.
Realme GT Neo 5 SE? Same as Oneplus Ace 2V. Chinese ROM. Don't know if any is available in Global ROM. I also believe that if Oneplus Ace 2V and GT Neo 5 SE come with Global ROM, they would be much more expensive and be out of my budget.
Therefore, I've chosen to buy Poco F5. Great performances (supports 90 fps for PUBGM), has decent cameras as a midrange smartphone, fast 67W charging (as a uni student I need this feature so bad), and large battery capacity. A perfect phone which is surprisingly very affordable considering all these amazing features.
Speaking about its back panel, I don't see any problem with that at all, who tf doesn't use phone case? Lol
Edit: Speakers are bad? Buy a Bluetooth speaker bro. Who tf use phone speakers themselves to play music nowadays hahah.. And for me most of the time I use my wireless earphones, so the speakers ain't an issue for me either
This device is very recommended for heavy gamers with the budget between RM1000-RM2000
Please what will you advise for the Poco F5 Vs the Google pixel 7a which is better please??????????
Hi, not sure if my comment will be read or even replied duirng this stage.
I bought the Poco F5 Blue 12GB 256GB variant after doing much research for a month. Bought it during 11.11 during a flash sale for about the equivalent of USD 300. The funny thing was I upgraded from the previous Poco flagship the F3 which I had for 2 years and unfortunately I lost it last month during a train ride. But oh well.. I was also previously a Poco F1 user which I had for 4 years. So I can safely say that I am a Poco user veteran having used all the odd numbered Pocos. LOL
I was seriously contemplating this phone with the Nothing 1 phone as I am a huge fan of Carl Pei's take of Android and his Oneplus legacy. The Nothing 1 phone is just one of a kind. But in the end the flash sale of the Poco F5 gets the vote from my wallet.
So far this phone has been very smooth and a joy to use. I am used to MIUI so the interface familiarity is there. The SD 7 Gen 2 really feels fast and snappy for anything thrown at it. I have disabled all the ads from MIUI so now the phone is totally ads free, which get rid of 1 sore point of MIUI. I don't game on my phone so the gaming performance of the phone isn't that relevant to me.
What surprised me was the comeback of the 3.5mm jack! Great to reuse my corded earphones left lying in my cabinet after I switched to the F3 from F1.
Just that from the F3 there were some downgrades at least on paper, like the 360hz to 240hz touch sampling rate, and apparently the camera sensors are using Omnivision sensors instead of Sony sensors. But it doesn't feel like a downgrade in real world experience.
I am not sure if GCAM at this point is an improvement to the stock camera. Can you advise if this is so? And which build should I use?
I also missed the ''Clear Speaker'' feature of the F3. I am not sure why Poco didn't retain this feature to help clear dust from the dual speakers.
My humble feedback :)
Good review. You sounded out of breathe at the end of the video. 😂😂
i heard staff frm mi store poco have motherboard problem,is that true?
what about motherbord? i had poco x3 nfc, and i had motherboard failure on it
What about battery? Its pass 8h in a day?
Supported yes simcard? I saw the myyes app in the phone 😂
What about Poco f5 pro? M waiting for it too 🤭
Nice review. What about the proxomity sensor? In poco F3 it was really awful. The Screen was not blocked properly during a call. It would be interesting to hear about a call quality including loud speaker.
I think the selfie sensor is getting worse on the Poco F5. The same for the macro sensor
Poco F5 or Realme GT neo3? In terms of camera ,audio , display and soft.
what do you recommend guys poco f5 or google pixel 6 ?
Is 120hz adaptive like on pro or no
have it changed ? anything? with bugs
does it have usb to display out ?
I bought the F3 because of your reviews, and I just might get this one too! Seems like the F5 and F5 Pro have different offerings that suit each! The Pro only seems to have that slightly bigger battery, the wireless charging, the higher cpu usage but also more heat... If I do end up getting it, Imma take the normal F5!
The editing, the concise and clear explanations, the showcasing...etc have all gotten so much better, and I'm glad to come back every time a good phone comes out!
F5 Pro should have better heat dispersion mechanism on paper
What about video recording Lim? 💥💥
Is it true that it only has 2 years of IOS support?? And poco f5 cannot update after that? Good specs but with only 2 years of longevity?
For Xiaomi brand,which phone is recommended bcoz i want to buy a new one 😊...
How does this compare to Honor 70 camera wise?
What a clean and direct review. Love your vids!
YES I'M BUYING THIS FOR SURE!!!!!🤩🤩🤩
Dayummm the real flagship killer.
Open Google map with Poco f5, there are not arrow on the map, even I give all permission to the app, it still missing arrow
Is Someone know the solution ?
Can we get to
see f5 gt with 8 gen 2
This is amazing. I fully expect it to be more expensive than the F5 Pro, eventually, due to huge demand.
I've never spent that much on a phone, but immediately ordered this after learning decent PS2 emulation on phone is now a thing.
So excited.
Hows the emulation performance on it?
Nice chipset, hope to see it in upcoming Nothing phone.
How does Poco F5 5G stack up against Redmi K20 Pro in terms of audio quality?
I don't understand how no one ever mentions the focus hunting on th eback camera that makes its "moving forward and back" all the time while filming.
My Poco F5 battery drains too fast. I dont know if this is normal. I just bought this yesterday. I slept with my phone battery's 100%. I woke up and its 98%. And when playing games. It drains even more fast.
how the camera ? Comparing to the F4
Does it have fm radio?
I’m picking this over the f5 pro. The f5 pro version does not seemed to be “pro” & I dislike curves designs (I don’t get why curve edges is a premium or pro taste). Thinking about ditching my s23 ultra for this.
UFS3.1 vs UFS4.0, if you’re on gaming the loading huge difference. Don’t jump the ship lol
@@steventeoh260 Nahh…I’ll be using it as another spare phone.
buy Xiaomi 13
@@heredotrecayi that i will go for the pro version. Still thinking whether to ditch that useless s23 ultra.
@@rahmatstyles4218 Rahmat S23 Ultra is a 230 gram garbage. it will be good if you ditch I agree . if you like smaller display then Xiaomi13 would be the perfect choice but if you like bigger display then F5 Pro is a good choice.
Guys im confused which colour should i get the blue or black
a lot of improvement! i consider to replace my poco f3. thanks for the review.
Me to have f3
mee too
Wow now you include the graphics in mobile legends now ❤
What abt the bad os support and motherboard problems with the poco phone
Probably the QHD is reducing some performance but dang that Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is incredible. 800 series performance under RM1500 has been unheard of for a while. This Poco F5 is definitely a great buy. It's finally showing off performance per money that has been needed for quite a long time. Excellent phone overall.
the f5 has a 1080p display
FHD* (and it gains performance)
Talking bout other devices.
@@joelconolly5574 which phone is the best for video recording under RM 2k
@@ironlake8944 iPhones are known to be better most of the time. You can either get an old iPhone, something like the 11 Pro, or probably something like the Pixel 6. A good device but not official in Malaysia. But the Poco does seem fine enough for general use. Samsung S20 are also acceptable, tho only Snapdragon versions since Exynos is hit and miss. There's also LG and Sony with their manual controls but you got to have a decent understanding of those.
Poco f5, redmi note 12 pro, realme 11 pro, edge 40, honor 70? Which one is best?
Uncle Lim you can get a carbon fiber print matte skin.
Compare Poco F5 to Samsung A54. Which should I get? Can anyone help?
Is upgrading from poco f3 to poco f5 worth it?
7pg2 is a really good flagship chip. Benchmarks did not lie. It’s the basically the new d8100. The old sd870 was great even d1200 was pretty good but this 7pg2 is really what all the 765 750 778 was meant to be. And I would say the 778 was the baseline for top mid range. Nothing should have gone for 7pg2 if they were not going for hype, if oneplus has a 7pg2 that will be the sweet spot.
Agree with you that 7PG2 is a beast, though I wouldn't say it's what the 778 was meant to be. The 778/782 were good enough for their time. However, this 7PG2 makes those existing 700 series processors look like 600 series ones. It's just too far ahead.
You forgot the SD 780g muahahaha.
@@LimReviews definitely good enough. I consider 778 very good alternative to flagship chip.
7pg2 definitely a huge leap from even 7g1. Maybe what I should say is the 7pg2 was what the 7g1 meant to be.
It’s like the 12th gen jump from 11 gen. 12700k from the 11900k. Hopefully the m3 will also be like that. M3= m2pro
I have the Poco F5 256GB version which I have gotten for 350 USD on Lazada. The phone is pretty good overall, especially for its price but the battery life isn't as great as it is on paper considering it has a 5000mAh battery. For 350 USD the phone has a SD 7 gen 2 which is as good as the SD8+ gen 1, a camera that is pretty solid for a mid-ranger with decent OIS and night mode processing, and lastly, it comes with a 67W fast-charger in the box which even other $1000 phones don't do that today.
Hy,how îs the sound quality?has suficient bass? And îs some problems with motherboard i heard.
@@andreigb4476 Sound quality of the F5 is quite sub-par when compared to my other more expensive phones like the Mi 11 Ultra, Poco F2 Pro and S23 Ultra. It lacks bass and just don't sound as nice.
I have used the Poco F2 Pro for 2.5 years and after 2 years the mobo charging cable died. However it was easy for me to replace it for $30 at a third party repair shop.
Did u have any motherboard problems?
@@smiley3860 nope
is nfc usable in malaysia？
Suggestion: You need to place your script closer {may under} just where your
camera lens is recording you as your eyes give it away that you're ''reading''
out loud what you're saying and notfocusing on "us", your audience.
Good 👍 I strongly agree with you.
Buying that in the black Friday sale
Comparing prices, it is worth spending like 1/4 more for this phone rather than Poco X5 Pro?
Definitely
Is it worth upgrading from the f4? The f6 will likely have the same 7+ gen 2 seeing just how powerful it is
Camera sensors appears to be the exact same, but I don't recall the F4 shooting pictures like that. I know my Poco F3 surely doesn't. I don't typically recommend upgrading every year, but this might be a tougher call. Some of the specs are the same, but extras like the returning headphone jack could have swayed me too.
@absolutemadchad8637 I was just using my F3 and it's still a very solid phone. Could easily still be my daily driver if I didn't have a problem buying phones. I do think the F5 upgrades pretty well almost in every area except the display and the macro camera. I think F3 might have the brighter display too. The F3 has more US network carrier bands also. The F5 lacks bands 12 and 17, and I was hoping they'd finally add band 71, but they didn't. My F3 just got it's May security patch, so it's fairly up to date. I do miss the headphone jack.
@absolutemadchad8637 my poco f3 volume buttons stopped working alltogether and the 120hz-60hz bug is killing me sometimes, using it since 2021-05, so pretty decent i guess.
Hi , can you include roaming connection performance
Daamn .. lame tunggu masok pon akhirnye
Man i was thinking to get Pixel 7a (currently using Poco F3) but seems like Poco F5 is a lot better overall
lol, i am asking myself too which of those two is better ( for me )
Pixel 7A is better, if you are not into heavy gaming.
Iam using poco f5
@@S_2_7I keep hearing about overheating, that's why I'm not sure if I want to get a pixel 7, is this true?
poco f5 or xiaomi series what would you recommend around this price if i prefer better camera?
Same question!
Bro should i get the 8gb variant or 12 gb variant of poco f5
12 if it isn't a issue
I want to buy this phone very bad but I had xiaomi flagship phones before and the problem with these phones are GPS, heating problem and the wifi connection.
Can somebody please tell me if the Poco F5 has a live translation function like the Pixel phones ? My girlfriend and I met in holidays and not yet speak the other persons language very well. So this is really important for me, thanks for any answers/help!
custom roms
8 gb ram or 12 gb of ram poco f5, is it worth going for 12 gb or staying with 8 gb ram version is enough?
8 gb is enough
The early price for 12gb is only rm100 more, so alang2 just get 12gb
8GB for casual user
12GB for heavy user
Can you use Nova launcher as default launcher with full access to gesture control?
