POCO M5 5G mobile - Overview

It also comes in Icy Blue and Power Black, with a unique design inspired by the ‘Among Us’ look. Like other POCO phones, it is affordably priced while offering strong features.

The POCO M5 is not a 5G-enabled smartphone, but it still stands out as one of the best budget smartphones. It features a sharp Full HD+ LCD display, a powerful processor, reliable cameras, and a large battery with fast charging. With smooth software and a price of Rs. 8,999 for the top model, it offers excellent value.

POCO M5 - Features and specifications

The first thing you will notice about the POCO M5 is its stylish leather-like back finish. This smartphone features a flat edge unibody design that feels smooth and easy to hold. The surface resists stains and smudges, keeping the phone clean. The dual-tone back design also gives it a bold, standout look.

If you enjoy gaming or watching videos, the POCO M5 offers a great viewing experience. Its 6.58-inch Full HD+ display supports a 90Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. With a 20:9 screen ratio and 401 ppi, everything looks clear and sharp. The smart refresh rate saves battery, and the 240Hz touch sampling makes the screen very responsive.

The POCO M5 also performs well in the camera department. It comes with a 50MP AI triple camera setup that improves image quality using smart features. The 2MP macro lens captures close-up details, while the 2MP depth sensor adds blur to the background. For selfies, the 8MP front camera takes bright and clear shots.
