The Snap Dragon 7+ Gen2 has become 2023's version of the 870. It outperforms the 8 Gen 1 in almost every scenario and only falls short (2%) in Antutu. Crazy how the 7 Gen chip is already outperforming last years 8 Gen.
Because it literally is the 8 gen 1, just built by TSMC and not Samsung. And it is slightly underclocked, imagine the performance if it wasn't changed.
That's because of how piece of shit 8 gen 1 was, even SD 855 outperformed it. Also 7 gen 2 is just the renamed version of 8 plus gen 1 from last year. I would choose SD870 or dimensity 8100 over these anyway.
@@psI6 8Gen 1 was manufacture by Samsung and it becames disaster of the year in 2022. Battery, thermals , raw performance everything was messed up because of samsung fabrication. Practical performance of 8Gen 1 is between 855 and 865😂.
@@Noone-yl7iz The Dimensity 8100 is better than the SD870 in every way. Significantly more power efficient and higher fps when playing a demanding game like Genshin impact.
Poco f5 is a big serious upgrade, it got better camera, way more powerful chipset, and audio jack (awesome). For the display i think qhd is too overkill for a phone, plus it would also drain your battery faster. So i think f5 would be best choice for most people. It's also more beautiful and cheaper too
@@Randyy1why you wanted such piece of garbage technology wireless charging is piece of garbage for inneficiency many loss furing charing time heat etc and also wireless charging still uses cable and need to align properly between charging pad and the phone not as convinent as cable
@@ariefhidayat2157Not saying that it is a highly necessary feature to have, but it's very small and not so difficult to install inside, ain't it?? At least having it would be nice as well, as it doesn't affect the device in any way by having it and not using it much either. I do use the fast charger most of the time if I need to top off quickly, but slow wireless charging can be useful when I want to charge overnight and it only tops off when I wake up.
We may have mixed opinions about whether or not to choose this over that, but consider your budget constraint and how much you are willing to spend or compromise. There is a blur between the lines of comparison, due to personal preferences, key differences. Whichever one you pick, you can't go wrong as probably you've researched it and thought of considering it lately. Good luck and have fun.
Ive bought the F5 principally because of the headset socket and the very impressive mid range chipset. Also £125 less than the pro on the early bird price at the MI store. Love it so far.
@@bcw686I still use my Redmi Note 5 pro daily since I bought it 5 years ago. I assume it will be the same case with Poco as they both are Xiaomi sub-brand. What I really like about Xiaomi is, the community. They are super helpful to guide me fixing things like replacing my volume button last month after almost 5 years rocking on.
@@bcw686 I have been using Poco F1 for 4 years now since Oct 2019 and it all good so far no lagging and not overheating (after I played game pubg 4hours straight) and so on. Only I had the battery being replaced last year . So I think Poco can last for quite a long period of time in terms of performance .
POCO F2 pro for 3 years. It's solid as a tank (weighs like one too). They said the pop up selfie motor is a liability, but it never gave up on me even once. The battery too is still strong, giving me 1.5 days of normal use. I did load it though with CRDroid, the next day that warranty expired. Will do the same with my F5 pro
My F5 arrived on Thursday, its a fantastic all rounder and a serious performance upgrade on my previous F4, absolutely chuffed with it. I got the frosted white model, love it!
Bought the F5 primarily for the headphone jack and cooler, more efficient processor.... watching this video on the phone....the Bluetooth range and LDAC playback quality are both great too... Auto screen brightness is dodgy so I have disabled it for now... otherwise F5 is excellent value for money and all I need a phone for....
Tbbh I think the normal F5 is enough phone for most people. The only thing it's missing for me is HDR...But I'd think I'd still go for the F5 above the Pro model..
Standard F5 for me, just don't like the look of the pro. But.....would it be worth the upgrade from my current F3??? maybe a comparison?? Cheers great review as always.
Wait for better deal but I had F1 and F3 so definitely F5 is the next one. Next is F7 😂 Ordered 12/256 white F5 at a good deal. I opted for this because I'm playing some games that's suitable for the F5 chipset. F3 will still be my secondary phone for other purpose. Early bird price plus vouchers got it for around $330 payable in installments zero interest
I have the Poco F5, and its a great phone. Not to ruin the video, but the back of the Poco F5 is acctually plastic, not glass as you stated. I know this because you can literally press the plastic back down. Still a great video.
Thanks for doing these! Are there any thin phones that exist? I still have a OnePlus 5T and it's 7.3mm -- new thin ones today like Nord CE 3 are 8.3mm.
I have Black Shark 4 pro, the magnetic clicky triggers are ultra good, F4 GT has the same ones as you probably already know. If you plan on playing especially shooter games or any games with many button inputs, the triggers make it feel more like playing on playstation than a mobile game. F4 GT also has supposedly better loudspeakers than any other poco. But if gaming isnt your focus, then yes, F5 is a super good deal.
@@billieguitar i just want the extra performance that the F5 pro has.. I just don't want to regret buying something that struggles to run openworld games that i'm waiting for. I'm just gonna slap it to a gamepad if I want to play FPS... XD
If you are gaming focus, and wanted that extra input button advantage F4 GT. Better not just settle for performance alone, consider what you do ao much. Overall F4 GT has better metal build than that plastics of F5 series.
Has anyone noticed or experienced any problem with Wi-Fi or mobile connectivity in 5G? Apparently some are reporting the same. I am a bit perplexed as I am thinking of buying one, the Poco F5 or the Honor 90 or the Realme 11 pro plus.

Will explain was going to get an s23 plus...1st because I want to go back to a flat screen photo. 2nd have found s22 ultra just to big want something a bit smaller. So was going to part exchange my s22 ultra for one. I had part exchange mu oneplus 7t Pro last year and bought the handset outright. Had a really good price when it was released last February. But when F5 came out I was comparing not to my s22 ultra.. but to what I was getting with say s22 plus or s23 plus. And when you put the F5 up against them it comes out really well.. I know build carmera..and so on... But I had the F5 for £339 pounds... and you compare that to s22 plus or 23 plus.. Don't forget UK models of S22 all had the exynos chip which was shit. The POCO F5 with side finger print scanner.. which I just love head phone jack and an IR blast.. Come on what a phone spec... And that is why my S22 ultra is going back in its box and I will probably sell it... Hope this has explained my reasons.. it's a bit like someone going from android to apple a guess 🤔 😃😃
@Matthew Charles I understand. I had the S22 Ultra and had the Exynos chip. I now have the S23 Ultra, and the difference is crazy. But that being said, I'm currently using the A54. Was supposed to be just to test it, but the size is really great. Performance is 100% a downgrade. Also, I got the Redmi Note 12 Pro, which is also good, but I feel I should have waited for the F5 and used my mi points on that. How did you get the Poco for that price?
Hello. Why regular f5 takes clearer and sharper pictures than f5 pro even though they have the same sensors and cameras. Since the hardware is the same, does that mean the difference is software? if so, is there an app or software that can fix the difference? At least for it to reach f5 level. I don't know much about these apps. Thank you..
It's been months since i dreamed of having this phone, just when i already saved the money needed it's already out of stock here in the Philippines. Now I'll need to wait years again before i find something as great as this phone. I hope my old phone will last till then.
I want to buy it, but in my country there is no official warranty. Can I except the phone to survive for 4-5 years ? Or will the Poco X3 pro and M3 incidents happen to the less fortunate people that buy this phone ?

Poco F5 specs is like poco F4 or poco f4 pro, nothing new.. If u have extra money, go for pro model that has better display Wqhd+, wireless charging, chipset, battery,larger liquid cooling,higher video recording quality,480 touch sampling rate and additional settings to choose. Pocophone F1 is the 1st flagship killer. Poco F5 pro maybe the 2nd.
Does the F5 or F5 Pro have any software or battery draining issues? I'm looking for a phone between 350-600 dollars that has good performance, display, and a decent camera, and I'm interested in the F5/F5 Pro. However I also want good software support, so I don't know at the moment.
The only issue with miui can be your apps closing in the background (for example, not getting notifications from an app). But you can solve it in under a minute with a few settings, it's gotten much easier than with previous miui versions. Once you get that figured out, it's a dream.
The pro version is has everything but only few cons 1. Chip made by Samsung 2. Not ufs 4 3. Upto to 512 only no 1tb Other than that pro version has all the beauty 526 PPI 🔥 Dolby vison and atmos AMOLED and not oled 🎉 68B colors which beats 1B color when you play games or zoom any picture Etc

urgent question i want to buy a phone and im wondering whos better the reno 10pro plus or the poco f5 pro i hope you answer me soon
F5 features it's good but several countries has raised complain on mi failed chipset n motherboard issues...it's outcome arouses
Nice vid! Are these Poco phones the Chinese version or Global version?
Global
Hey does this UK phone have a native Xiaomi call recorder ? it must be native because that works best
I want to ask where you download your anime wallpapers from?
F5 is the f3 I wanted...but O.P 11 looks like a better deal if it goes on discount
OnePlus 11 is over twice the price though for the 128gb.
Even the year old One Plus Nord 2T costs more.
Are you thinking of something else?
@@pomerau f5 pro is in the same range as the 11r
F5 here is 320 usd so it's galaxies better priced than oppo one plus
@ArtoriasSif but like the 11rs chip is underclocked so im just torn now
I was considering the Asus Zenfone 8 pro, is this poco f5 better?
Hi I'm in UK and looking to upgrade from OnePlus 8. I use this for everyday , RUclips , finance . Can you recommend poco
What about the deadboot issue? What u guys think?
Good review!
Poco F5 specs is like poco F4 or poco f4 pro, nothing new..
If u have extra money, go for pro model that has better display Wqhd+, wireless charging, chipset, battery,larger liquid cooling,higher video recording quality,480 touch sampling rate and additional settings to choose.
Pocophone F1 is the 1st flagship killer.
Poco F5 pro maybe the 2nd.
I would have gone with the F5 alone but I'm tired of the fingerprint on the side.
Which screen is wider?
Wow. Rebeca from Edens Zero wallpaper, such a cultured taste! 🥰🔥
I will go with pro just becouse of that extra resolution tbh and also becouse of the 8th gen chip.
what is the network signal like on these phones
With the Snapdragon 7 plus gen 2, I think this can run Yuzu just fine, and even better in the future update of yuzu
Runs botw 20+ sometimes 35 rdr1. 15 to 30 and it runs all games well at like 15 but still runs a lot at a smooth playable experience
Does F5 supports always on display?
Does the F5 or F5 Pro have any software or battery draining issues? I'm looking for a phone between 350-600 dollars that has good performance, display, and a decent camera, and I'm interested in the F5/F5 Pro. However I also want good software support, so I don't know at the moment.
The only issue with miui can be your apps closing in the background (for example, not getting notifications from an app). But you can solve it in under a minute with a few settings, it's gotten much easier than with previous miui versions. Once you get that figured out, it's a dream.
@@Randyy1 thanks alot!
The pro version is has everything but only few cons
1. Chip made by Samsung
2. Not ufs 4
3. Upto to 512 only no 1tb
Other than that pro version has all the beauty
526 PPI 🔥
Dolby vison and atmos
AMOLED and not oled 🎉
68B colors which beats 1B color when you play games or zoom any picture
Etc
@@shanthamani3971as far as I know, the 8+ gen 1 chipset used in f5 pro was not made by samsung and a lot says that it is better since samsung made ones were more prone to overheating
@@shanthamani3971Wrong. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 was made by Samsung, this is 8+ Gen 1 manufactured by TSMC
Is IP 53 ok to ise on the rain? Never was sure about that
Why does everyone bang on about how a phone looks, chins and bezels lol, flagship chip and qhd screen is priority for me once you put a case on all phones look the same
The F5 is a good phone, although it costs double what I paid for my F3. I don't think it has that many more features. Will wait to get it cheaper.
Or you could earn more money?!
Double the price? both models got similar pricing at their base variants at early bird releases days after launch
He probably bought 2nd hand
Inflation?
No I bought it brand new from Xiaomi store for £180
Can you compare POCO f4 and F4 GT vs Poco f5 and f5 pro ?
Hallelujah the F5 has a 3.5mm headphone jack 😊
Are there any ads? my current poco is loaded with them even on MIUI 14
Ew ads
You can turn them off
@@camotech1314 easily?
@@camotech1314 If there are ads, you can't turn them off
What kind of ads? Is it a pop up ads or just the typical ads made by the software? Because if it's not related to software then maybe you have a malware hiding around your phone.
