Awesome review! My oppinion is that the regular f5 is way better deal - sqared design, almost the same battery, same cameras, 1080p display is not a problem atleast for me (could be a bit brighter than 1000 peak but it is what it is) and last but not least the processors. If you compare 7 gen 2 and 8+ gen 1 they are so close that it's almost non existant in performance and the 7 is much more efficient, which in my eyes makes it the clear winner. Looking forward to your full reviews and battery tests of those two devides!
Oh and btw if it's not obvious I'm for review in regular f5 first and a comparison between f5 and f3 (as a former f3 user and to this day my favourite mid range device)
Poco f5 pro Has better look
Its great to see comments mentioning the Poco F3. One of the best flagship killer I've purchased. It would be nice to see a comparison between F3 & F5. Waiting for the release of F6
up my F3 is still going strong
Poco F5 is definitely an amazing phone with that price point. Reminds me of the F3 at launch. I'll still be sticking with my F3 though, one more year of security updates. :D
Nice!
How is the phone? Camera and performance wise
@@rimurutempest850 performance wise you can't go wrong, camera is the same as the F3/f4.
You should sell Poco F3 ASAP...until it's worth something
Dude trade it in whilst you can.
Do you think we will live to see the day when Xiaomi decides to ditch the 8mp UW and 2mp Macro cameras? 🙃
bro i would rather have just the main sensor + a better uw 12mp instead of that that macro that nobody uses
The macro is quite useful for me though
Forget about that how about no usb 3.0 to connect type c to hdmi and to a monitor or TV and 4k selfie? It has been years. Probably decades
Not likely
One answer... Flagship
I'd love to see a comparison with the poco f3, just to see the improvement between generations.
+1
and here i am still stick with my POCO F1
Me too
Another F1 here, sadly is starting to fail after 5 years 😢 so I'm going for another Poco since I've loved it
@@mangana215 wow amazing, what games do you guys usually play lately?
@@vandikaananda814 usually small indie games, so it's not because of them
It's just a combination of falling at the very least once a month to the ground, or downstairs, or from my bed 😅 and watching a ton of videos, movies etc.
But mostly the falling, this phone feels like indestructible, but it has reached his limit
@@mangana215 i think you should get the F4 GT, thats for gamers in my opinion
I think battery drain battle would be fun, whether against the former models Poco F4/Poco F3 and/or Samsung S23/S23+ (since the battery life is also their strong selling point now)
Thank you for the feedback man, will look into that 🙂
@@AdamLoboTV Boss please if u can get x4 gt please add to compare list.. 🙏
Great review (as always) and a side by side comparisson is very useful!! I have a poco F1 and in 3 months it will be in my hands for 5 full of use years and lately it started to become a bit lagy!! Which one would you choose after the F1?? Two things are that I like more in the F5 pro, the beteer screen resolution and the wireless charging!! Other than that I like more the F5 !!
Greetings from Greece and thank you in advance!!
hi - my poco f1 just broke yesterday - i drop it :( I was using it for 5 years and it was really good phone. Now i just ordered poco f5 pro - just for the memory 512 gb and wirelles charging is bonus. I hope it will be good experienc like with poco f1.
F3 vs F5. The comparison most people would want at this stage.
Redmi K60 ( Poco F5 pro) and Redmi Note 12 Turbo (Poco F5) . They reduced weirdly the 5.500 mah battery of Redmi K60 to 5.160 mah at Poco F5 pro
As i thought, they were completely different phones, not related to one another. I'll keep the names in mind for when i am able to upgrade from my Poco F3.
Came across your channel when searched for F5 review, great comparison, and what surprise me more is you are from the same country. Keep up all the good work Adam
Thank you brother, glad you enjoyed the video my friend 🙂
I have the F3 which has served me well, can you push this phones to their limit in gaming and test the thermals and whether the cooling actually works or makes a difference. The F3 has always had heating issues later figured out it was actually the system gallery causing it😂.. Anyway awesome comparison love your content
First time watching a vid from you and impressed! Very concise for a comparison review knowing what I need to know for both phones.
I'm using this phone for gaming but I still gonna go for the non pro ver.
Subscribed!
Hey man, welcome to the channel and glad you liked it! Appreciate your subscription too. You won’t be disappointed 🙂
Still rocking my Poco F3. Actually been hesitant to upgrade since it has not givin me any excuses to do so.. perhaps except for the camera but it's not the worst
Xiaomi lists the Redmi K60 (F5 Pro) as supporting Dolby Vision, so I can only assume its software. Odd that the F5 Pro is what the F5 would have been, had prices not jumped. With the F5's price, the X5 Pro will need heavy discounts, it was overpriced, to continue selling. An F3, F4, F5 battery test would be fascinating.
I didn't pick poco F5 because of the 240Hz touch sampling rate, remind me of my X3 Pro. I used X3 Pro, F3 and 11T. 11T touch response(480Hz) really good. While F3 is okay, u got that nice 360Hz touch sampling. X3 Pro(240hz) feels slower a lil bit when it comes to touch response while game. So yeah i pick the F5 Pro instead, bummer is K60 got that 5500mah while we got 5160. Why. Atleast i got that 12GB+512GB option cuz price difference around 100 only compare to 3 config F5 Pro.
This has huge difference in gaming? Wat did u experience?
@@dwightasetre1954heaven
Hows the heat? My friend refunded theirs after just 1 day of use with that temp just shooting up without even opening a single game.
I liked the perfect display edges on the Poco F5, and it has a newer processor that I think might last longer and have better battery usage than the F5 Pro. I'm really tied between both, either I'll be getting the F5 12/256Gb or the F5 Pro 8/256Gb the wireless charger comes in handy a lot of times but it's not a necessity for me, and the performance between those is almost unnoticeable, maybe 10~15% more performance on the F5 Pro
Wich one did you get? comming from f3 (now broken) the f5 feels so familar id like the under display finerprint and 1440 display is an upgrade but that 12gb ram is way too good + save in price + a thinner bzel
@@chelidoniiiI bought F5, upgrading from F1. F5 does have fingerprint scanner on the side not under the display. F5 pro higher price is too high for a really small difference
@@muchanic i tried my friends F5 Pro and the under-display finger scanner was ass after years of side scanner use. Wireless charging is also another thing majority people wont need, so im definitely going for F5 too.
Awesome review! And YES! 100k ++ subscribers.
Thanks man! 🙏
Good work Adam. Time to look for more money to buy and I seriously see the Poco F5 Pro as the long term contender if you need graceful performance.
Thanks man and hope you get the F5 Pro soon then! 🙂
Had a plan to buy poco f4 GT and now i changed my plan to buy this F5 pro
Cool! 🙂👌
F5 pro is cheap phone,better F4 GT=premium phone
They never want to give us exactly what we want .. do they ?
I LOVE the squared design of the F5 and the color choices , but it has no wireless charging and under-screen finger-scanner.
I really wanted my next (budget) purchase to have good wireless capabilities.
Also, watch closely, the F5 has better bezels.
Nice review. What about the face 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.
first time viewer here. very well done review. good information given and great engagement. kept me watching all the way. keep it up!
Thanks for the video. Your channel is one of my favorites.
Very close fight this. I’m veering towards the non-Pro. Great video, incredibly informative!
Thank you abang ❤️
"Creating modern art with your smudges", I love this!
😅😅, it takes a lot of work to come up with all this puns and jokes so thank you for noticing 🙏
Perfect! my Poco F3 died out water dmg, looking to upgrade between to two, please do a comparison!
Thanks for review. I just pre-ordered f5. I think it will be possible to mod camera and use 8k video with some Leica or gcam mods.
It's hard for me to choose between them,
Poco F5 pro has that 8+ Gen 1 but with Wireless charging makes me feel unnecessary to choose since I prefer that 67W charging already (Personal opinion)
But then there's Poco F5 where has 7+ Gen 2 under the hood which is new, but it's hard to accept with the 8+ Gen 1 in Pro model
(Without wireless charging makes it almost perfect for me but only chip difference made me to put on hold)
And currently I'm using Poco F3 in which still good but that comparison with Poco F5/F5 Pro in terms of benchmarks got me thinking
dude check poco f5 pro touch sample rate 🎉.
Stick to your Poco F3
I love how you're always happy!
Keep up the great work!
Amazing explaination my man😊
Thank you brother 🙏
Been using the Poco F3 since 2020 until today. However I've encountered instances where the device reboots itself repeatedly for a sustained amount of time. Besides that, I'm still satisfied with the phone. Truly a value for money device. #pocof3 #adamlobo
Sucks on me my F3 died out of water dmg, looking to upgrade between the two, F5 feels so familar with sideunlock vs pro's underdisplay, but the thinner bezl and +12gb ram + savings is way too good to pass out
Try re- paste the thermal paste, it's maybe help,
Does the F5 or F5 Pro have preinstalled a screen protector?
Yeap, both of them
I'm gonna go for Poco F5 (base variant)
All i (or we) need is the features we want. Headphone Jack, Power Efficient chipset, PRICING and any more....
Keep up the good work sir! And btw...
CONGRATULATIONS on your 100k subs 😁👍🎉
Hey Josh! Firstly thank you for your wishes, truly appreciate it and most of all thank you for your feedback too! 🙂
🎯
My Poco F3 is still my all time favorite Budget flagship , i'm sticking to it another year :D i have no problem with photos im using a good Gcam port and the quality is top notch !
Please which gcam port are you using?
same here...GCam all the way..
Hey Adam, nice vid which phone wod you keep if you had to make a choice? And is it true the rumors that there must ght not be a F5 g.
Hi, the vibration is haptic in both phones?
Bro. In hiur experience using the F5; does it have issue with over heating under regular usage , web browsing and TH-cam watxhing.
I'm still using F2 pro. Would the F5 be a worthy upgrade? I've not considered changing devices as the battery still makes a full day of usage easily after about 3 years of use.
Hi Adam. Great video! Do you know how many years of software update Poco provides?
Watching this on my long serving Poco F1, definitely feel like getting the F5 pro.
same. even with this, I am hesitant to upgrade from f1 fo f5.. may one or two more gens 😅
Poco F5 or Pixel 6a/7a ? When you are not planning to play on the phone?
Please make a detailed comparison video of poco f5 pro vs redmi k70 pro..and also do let me know that does redmi k70 pro is a successor of redmi k20 pro? and does that mobile gives a flagship level experience or not????
Adam please do a comparison of the poco F5 pro and the xiaomi 12T pro,, there were some rumours that the 12T pro's 8pg1 was down clocked compared to the F5 pro
Thank you very much for the clear informations ❤🙏🏽
Would you recommend the poco f5 pro over oneplus 10t? both same price in my country
I just ordered the F5 8GB 256GB upgrading from the F3.
Nice!
Why ? What's wrong with your f3?
@@bobbrown-so2gt Just wanting better processing upgrade which will help with video rendering.
1499 at shopee discounted from 1799 . Wow . 300rm difference. I would love to try 7gen 2
Nice!
@AdamLoboTV does the screen quality of f5 pro is really notciable better than the regular f5 side by side ?
I had poco f2 pro which i think is one of the best till now. However the charging issue came up for a second time and got f5. pretty happy with it
May i know is it support duo sim cards?
Thanks Sir...❤❤❤
Your Efforts for this video is Awsome.😊😊
Figured the sign "Berhenti" as in english is "stop" from Indonesian, i assumed you were in Indonesia back then?
just bought the non pro Poco F5 to replace my Poco F3 since the benchmark for non pro surpass SD 888 and SD 8 gen 1 with only RM 1400.00 it really a great bargain.
any updates?
Should I switch from vivo x80 to poco f5 pro?
Thanks , very great review 👍🏻
I am still using F3 l, My son has F4, Currently for some reason I'm planning to buy F5.
Thanks for this comparison ❤
Thanks for the video abang Adam!
Sir, can I ask something?... Does your lock screen stuck at 120hz even tho the refresh rate has been set to 60hz?... Can find a solution for that?
Still im stuck my legendary poco f1 (5 years ) 💪
Hi the video stbilization is it enabled with 30 fps only?
Will they add 4k 60 video capture on basic model? This cpu can support it if they want
Maybe in future updates
@@justanotherviewer1282 if they not I don't buy
Im thinking about upgrading from my X3 nfc. F5 pro seems nice choice.but i miss the expandable storage.do u have other alternative that come with expandable storage?
+1
look for Redmi note 12 turbo with 1T internal storage.
What about the problem with the Proximity sensor? Is it still exists?
please do more video with this poco f5 such as video test from day to night..its video stabilization from 1080 to 4k setting.. its video when low light..
Snapdragon sound supported?
Please choose between f5 pro and mi 12t pro
Full review please.. you are the reason i bought poco f3. It was superb
I have a 2020 Redmi Note 9 6/128 so the blue Poco F5 12/256 is for now my no.1 candidate for replacement which I have in mind for next year.
Does it have NFC support?
Hi Adam, I would like to ask do they have physical proximity sensor to turn off the screen during phone call and listening to voice messages? I'm a F3 user and it drives me mad when the screen turns on when it is not supposed to.
I will get back to you on this buddy
As I know xiaomi does not rectify this issue even after so many years
Poco f5, poco f5 pro, samsung s23, or xiaomi 13? Can you get them in a row from the best to worst?
how to compare?? diff price level
Does Poco f5 have virtual or physical proximity sensor?
Hopefully Poco F6 and F6 Pro will have bigger batteries ala 6000 mAh and a telephoto lens please for Poco F6 Pro next year
Does the F5 pro have ltpo at any level Adam?😎
Nice video.. Love it. They are great but the poco f5 feels more solid. Please can you make the the comparison between the poco f3 and these two devices? Please🙏
How long will they get updates ? 3 MIUI and 4 years security ?
2 system updates which is bad imo, no clue about security
@@ulysses4989 what a schame... :(
Can you compare it with the Mi 12T ?
Can we get to see f5 gt with 8 gen 2 globally 😢
do review from the 1st poco to poco f5 pro
The first Poco I had was destroyed 😅😅, will try and get myself that first and thanks for the feedback 🙂
@@AdamLoboTV 🤣no worries
My f1 still last like after, 5 years 😂
@@junkeatliew5787 damn, that's awesome man, im using the poco x3, no issues at all till this day, totally in love with this phone, only thing that is kinda boring is the ui
Comparison of F5 to the F3 please
The Poco f5 is going to be a battery beast with that 5k mAh battery and 7gen2. Legit the early bird price really dejavu like the time when I bought the f3.
And they brought back the headphone jack omg.
Still the same power usage as the 8+ gen 1 and 8 gen 2.
the sign says berhenti, even in Indonesia it's say stop not berhenti.. where is it ?
Here in Malaysia 🙂
Thanks for your informative video 👍
I fell in love with the white one 😍
So F5 white design is for me ❤
Are ads and bloatware manageable on these phones?
Using my mi9t phone currently, but looking to upgrade soon. The main xiaomi line got a bit to expensive with around a thousand euros for the xiaomi 13/13pro. Propably going to buy a poco f5 or f5pro
3.5 jack is the ultimate plus point.
would like to see a comparision between the f5 and the f3
Awesome presentation👍
How big is the 64mp sensor size? Is the sensor OV64B brand?
Thanks for the review
1st tym watching ur channel...and I notice ur logo...so ____graphic!
OS update and security?
2 years update 3 years security
Honestly how i feel i still have the poco f3 still running amazing processor and great hardware photos i have taken in hong kong, is amazing! and i say this the only reason you will update for more powerful hardware.
Hardware getting stronger most important now a days is software who has the better software i say compare the poco f3 on camera performance and still see how it compares to the flagship phones we have now.
What about the build quality difference between poco f4 gt and poco f5 pro? I noticed f4 gt has victus glass and perhaps better quality audio, and it did start off at a higher price point.
GG5 is less prone to scratches I think.
you have to wait for the F5 Gt to compare it with F4 Gt
@@soheiladam7510 the gt (gaming) lineup was discontinued by Xiaomi. There will be no f5 GT unfortunately.
Hello. Why does the regular f5 take clearer and sharper photos and videos than the f5 pro even though they have the same sensors and cameras? Since the hardware is the same, why does this difference occur? Do they have different 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.
I think it's something about the newer chipset in the poco f5 idk tho
If I see movies on phone and Netflix is poco f5 pro so better on display that poco f5?
No
Hi from Malaysia too! I would like to know is Xiaomi phones still packed with full of ads inside?
Years ago I had a X3 that tons of ads, everywhere even though I had revoked all the permissions followed all the methods like we could easily find online.
Considering which to go, A54 or F5 pro. Do Poco has something like Samsung Knox protection too?
I'll tell you this.
Samsung devices have much better software. You will get ads on the Xiaomi device if you don't have a European unit more specifically an English one. Hardware on the F5 pro blows the A54 out. The camera sucks for the price range but the chipset is even better than that of the S22 ultra. In the end it comes down to software
You can easily get rid of ads, come on everyone knows this.
@@ulysses4989 Yeah maybe in the end it's just personal preference. I personally hated xiaomi software so much, bugs and ads everywhere, and they actually didn't seem to bother to fix it. The Poco I bought previously was kind of like high-end chipset on paper back then, but camera and software just don't match the chipset or hardware, but it's good at gaming I would say.
@@soheiladam7510 At least in my case I couldn't, I've tried everything revoking permissions, those methods you can easily find online, all. But sometimes it still came out of nowhere, oops
After few updates Poco to turn to trash if you're unlucky deadboot
The Poco F5 in the UK is currently far better value. For non gamers these 2 phones are exactly the same.
Thanks for your feedback man
how much money?f5
