Thanks for watching my Poco X5 Pro unboxing! Price is 299-349 Euros for this Pro model, but the early bird price of 249/299 Euros can be had from Feb 7 from some retailers. Cheers!
Seems a good phone if your just starting your POCO journey but not an upgrade from my current F3. Still thanks for the price update and quick review. +1
Sorry but this price is not correct.. Poco have just posted on official social they official prices 350euro for poco x5pro with 6gb 400euro for poco x5pro with 8gb
@@UwU-ov5zu yes mate I found the same problem . Even in the Poco launch video he said it was going to be cheaper than what it actually is . I thought I'd be paying 250 but ended up paying 330 , not happy ..
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
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
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
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.
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.
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....
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.
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.
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!
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 ?
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...
Could you please do a comparison between the X5 pro and the xiaomi mi 11 Lite 5g ne since the price for that model dropped to around the same price. ( if you still have that model).
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).
Hi I love your videos and how you speak O:) Did you consider to review Motorola G72 4G?

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

5) Stereo Speakers ( with Full support for any media or connection )

nowadays phone models are so rapidly updated so people usually upgrade after three to four generations
Think that's a good plan, the X4 is still recent enough that it's barely aged at all!
Try X3 Pro.
