- Unboxing the Poco F5 from Xiaomi, with a full comparison vs the F5 Pro for gaming, camera performance & specs. The Poco F5 boasts some clever tech and sleek design, but is it one of the best mid-range smartphones right now? Or should you upgrade to the Poco F5 Pro?
Check out my review of its more expensive sibling right here on Tech Spurt!
These two 2023 phones may look remarkably different, but they do share the same DNA. For one, the camera tech is basically identical, although the regular Poco F5 maxes out at 4K video and you don't get the same focus action. Both can spaff out good looking photos and video in all but the lowest light.
While the regular Poco F5 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2, the Pro packs in an 8 Plus Gen 1. Regardless, these smartphones both offer a smooth gaming experience with Genshin Impact and other Android titles. Complete with that MiUI gaming mode, which serves up performance modes and other handy tools.
The Poco F5 boasts other advantages vs the Pro, including a headphone jack and a snazzy design. UK price and release date info coming when it's announced!

it's ridiculous that nowadays a headphone jack feature is so rare that it becomes for some the main attraction of a phone
The F5 looks way better than the Pro. The back is nicer and the front has less chin action.
yeah
Agreed
Looks is not everything go for the pro
@@Paghmani1sher To be fair I'm sticking with my Poco F3. 2 years in runs like new. I'm going to run it into the ground before getting a new one...
It looks good but one may think it's trying to imitate apple.
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.
@@czkmeister Probably to keep the thermals down being that was the 8 Gen 1's weak point.
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.
this channel blurs the line between tech reviews and humour and i f'ing love it!
Almost every TH-camr now is a clown.
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.
This was such a nice comment 😊
You have a great day and thanks!
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
I just wish it had wireless charging man 😢 But I've lived without it for 28 years so I think I'll be fine without it haha
@@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.
Great review as ever Spurty!
thanks for the sharing. i was expecting camera zoom comparison between these two models in this video, unfortunately.
Stupid question but if you buy the f5 Pro, do you need to buy a separate wireless charging device or do they give it to you as part of the package?
Where do I get those desk stands you use with the phones?
Love your videos man. Your coverage of mid range phones is superb. Pretty much unrivaled I should add. Could you look into the Realme GT NEO 5 SE. Similar specs to POCO F5. Would love to see your take on it.
this is my goto site-for midrange phones
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.
Do Poco phones last for a while? I ask cause I have never had one but they look great
@@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
@@bcw686 I had the 2018/Original Poco which I just gave away and it still works perfectly.
Is there a game center for games? One where u can macro some buttons etc?
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!
I'm looking to purchase the F5 (an upgrade to me Poco X3 pro) real soon.
The white one sold out pretty quick tbh
@@camotech1314 Yeah I thought it would, I ordered mine as soon as the sale started
who tf upgrade from f4 to f5? you should have got sd 8 gen 2
@@prithis3769 thanks for the advice.
I just got an F5 , upgraded from F3. I don't remember updating the apn settings so I'm wondering if I need to do that. I'm in the US and have an att Sim card.
Now I wonder what the difference in price is because it's like the designers managed to make the regular a better purchase than the pro.
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..
Do it comes with tempered glass already on the screen?
from where can i get those wallpapers they are dope.
Which app you used for wallpaper.
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.
Do the phones pack a lot of bloatware and how is the update policy?
sir where did you download your wallpapers?
Many thanks for your great review.
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....
Automatic brightness is kinda hit and miss on majority of the phones. Doesn't matter if its Poco, Xiaomi, Realme etc
@@OneDollaBill true
@@OneDollaBill yup it's fucky on my F3 too
I hope the motherboard is more strong than old generation
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.
You talk about 1mm!
@@alxdava2004 I'm rocking a 6 year old phone, I want progress! 😂
How hot they are after intensive use? And how long the battery last?
May I ask where did you get those amazing wallpapers?😊
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
Is this a decent upgrade from my huawei p30 pro?
If pro version had 3.5 jack it would be a better choice for me, but this one detail... and i'm thinkin of getting f5.
Hey Chris on the video toolbox right next dolby atmos you have a another option called sound I don't have that on my redmi note 10 Pro what does it do cheers mate
Virtual immersive sound and head tracking movement on earphone models that support it
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..
Poco f5 it have hdr Dolby vision
Both has hdr10+ .
F5 has HDR10+ Dolby vision.
You will be surprised to see that the F5 Pro does not show Dolby Vision in Netflix as one Tech reviewer pointed out.
@@kodaph surely will be fix within updates
@@Kilgore2k12 probably
It's strange how the F5 looks better than the Pro.
Becase the F5 is the rebranded Redmi Note 12 Turbo while the F5 Pro is K60. Redmi is good in terms of design while the K series is meant for gaming.
@pocof3boi548 the Turbo version in the notes is meant to be for gaming while the plus or pro is camera oriented
Good review with comparison 👌
Would you recommend the poco f5 pro over oneplus 10t? both same price in my country
Hi I'm in UK and looking to upgrade from OnePlus 8. I use this for everyday , TH-cam , finance . Can you recommend poco
I was considering the Asus Zenfone 8 pro, is this poco f5 better?
How is the speaker sound?
Good review!
any motherboard issues experiencing?
The Poco F5 is 350 USD in Singapore. Excellent value that will shake the midrange phone market.
i prefer the poco f5 tbh.. it looks better than the pro as well
i bought a redmi k50 5 months ago tho, so no new phone for the next 2,3 years at least
Is this worth upgrading from huawei p30?
Wow. Rebeca from Edens Zero wallpaper, such a cultured taste! 🥰🔥
what is the network signal like on these phones
Is IP 53 ok to ise on the rain? Never was sure about that
Do they still have IR blaster?
I want to ask where you download your anime wallpapers from?
Does anyone know if the uk version comes with NFC differnt sites are conflicting
Any signal problems?
What about the deadboot issue? What u guys think?
Would be the F5, but no wireless charging, so the Pro could suit me
The F5 has a more efficient chipset, and better battery life. Actually faster in benchmarks. It looks better too.
Looool 😂
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.
I also have the F3, currently at the price they're selling at I don't think it's worth to switch.
Same Jeff, I have F3. F5 pro does not seem err pro! Worth extra ? Not so sure?
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
@liquidsky7 Skip F6, go for F7 trust me when I say this with all certainty.
Can anyone tell if i should i take it because some people are saying the motherboard of poco phones are bad and will not last long
Which screen is wider?
neo2 need to upgrade?
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.
I think he said plastic
@@shafiqkhair9671 Right !!! Plastic, but looks fantastic in this shade of white... Even the blue version is woow..
I am literally watching this on Poco F5 vanilla model, I like this more than the Pro tbh
Correction Sir, POCO F5 PRO back is made of Glass. Thats why it features wireless charging.
Hope there would be a GT version but with front firing speakers like the Sony phones. That would be perfect!
At that point, you should just play Counterstrike on that phone, XD shit would be lit🔥🔥🔥
"Faa yeeeerrr en ma heeeeeerrrr"
😂
can you make a tecno camon 20 pro 5g and 20 premier video thanks!
Ordered a F5' that Snap dragon gen 2 looks appealing and much better bang for buck than the pro especially if shop around.
OKAY, NOW WWHER LINK FOR DOWNLOAD REM WALLPAPER ???
What about dead motherboard problem in poco phones?
Please review Meizu 20 pro 😅 if it is worth to buy😊
Does F5 supports always on display?
A headphone jack. Yeah 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Where do you find awesome anime wallpapers?????
Can you do a comparison between the Poco F5 Pro vs Poco X5 Pro. We love your vids greetings from Amsterdam.
4:28 which movie or tv show is it?
Can you compare POCO f4 and F4 GT vs Poco f5 and f5 pro ?
Kalau buat gaming mana yang lebih suport.?..
Anyone know the IP rating on these?
I would have gone with the F5 alone but I'm tired of the fingerprint on the side.
Thanks you for the great video it's extremely helpful in deciding which one to buy .these phones are super affordable compared to Samsung s23, it matched every performance Samsung delivered. Love your channel so much , Thank you again cheers.❤💖🏆💯😀😀.....
Does it have playstore
these phones look amazing i hope these will eventually come to my country i really want to get one i live poco im a poco user
Do you think amoled burn in is still an issue?
Not anymore
HEADPHONE JACK !!!!! GOOSEBUMPS.
i heard Poco x3 is having issues with going dead. is it same with f5 pro?
Hi Chris, no mention on the pricing in the UK?
All the prices are on Xiaomi's website
449 and 559
Still waiting for something similar to Poco F2. No cut out camera screen plssssss.
I like the ahhhh during headphone jack
please recommend the best smartphone for videography.. both in budget range and premium. for vlogging and creating youtube videos.
Iphone xr
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 ?
I'm here for the same reason ,and still didn't get a clear answer
Did you buy it ?
And if you did ,does it have any hardware issues
Or any issues in general?
Another great video thanks.. I bought a F5 in white last week.. Been using it off and on the the house. Going to put my s22 ultra back in the box and use this all the time..
Why would you put the S22 Ultra away for this?
@@Mike.Tech. Likely performance I'm guessing.
@legalsn16 fancy a change.. I know what you must be thinking he's mad doing that.. 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?
@@Mike.Tech. it seems like you tried a lot of phones, what do you think is better a54 or Poco f5?
what is much better camera quality the POCO F5 or POCO X5 PRO?
0:47 wallpaper link?
The Poco F5 is best looking but should have max out the video resolution 4k/60.... the chipset is more than capable enough.. theres even no 2k/60 options.... xioami developers were just so lazy.... im using the f4 gt atm.. glad to have 4k60..but it would have been great if there was 2k/60 just to save a bit of storage.
Love both. Want Pro. I've sent email to the distributer in Croatia and they said that they have no specific info will those even come to the market
Si ti cuo za amazon, bem te glupog..
Thank you for investigating and sharing the info. Don't mind the rude comments.
@@TomislavIvanFlis don't worry. Anytime
Nice vid! Are these Poco phones the Chinese version or Global version?
Global
Why is Poco F5 Pro Looks Darker? whats going on?
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.
damn man that sucks wish you good luck.
Almost at 1 milly 👀💓
Nice review, but lacking price range.
F5 makes me wanna buy just for back design
Did my antutu benchmark V 10 on poco f5
Got 1 million antutu score
Int erms of price range and design and performance
Poco f5 takes the lead
F5 Pro is noted as having glass-back on gsmarena. The only plastic is the rim. Who's right ?!
