Poco F5 Review

The Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2-equipped mid-ranger has a lot of power on offer – but it can't fix long-standing issues with MIUI 14.

Excellent performance ; Strong AMOLED screen ; Refined (if still not exciting) design

More expensive than before ; MIUI 14 is still hard work ; Camera remains so-so

The Poco F5 is another strong mid-range phone, with excellent performance for the money and a very good AMOLED display. Add in a relatively refined design, and it’s a clear improvement over the Poco F4. However, a stagnant camera system, the...

Poco F5 review: no, really – how much?

Flagship gaming for less. Poco strikes again with the very capable Poco F5 - but it's only great value at certain retailers

Best-in-class storage and performance ; Excellent battery life and fast charging ; Brilliant screen quality ; Light and slim

Plenty of bloatware ; Poor secondary cameras ; Plastic build won’t be for all ; Confusing pricing

While the Poco F5’s camera could be better, it’s still a brilliant gaming phone with tonnes of storage, a superb screen and fantastic battery performance.

POCO F5 review: A mixed bag

Poco is back with another banger of a mid-range phone that's way cheaper than the competition. It's a major step up from the previous model, but it still has Xiaomi's annoying software formula. POCO's latest mid-range phone offers a premium gaming...

Poco F5 5G Review: The Mid-Range Gaming Phone to Beat

The F5 5G raises the performance bar for smartphones in its segment.

Powerful processor for the price ; Excellent gaming performance ; Vibrant display ; battery life ; Slim design

Lacks a premium feel ; Average selfie, ultra-wide cameras ; Bloatware and notification spam in MIUI

The Poco F5 5G is an undeniable powerhouse at this price as it delivers raw performance that comes close to Qualcomm's flagship 8 Gen series SoCs. This, coupled with the good heat management makes the F5 5G an excellent option for anyone looking for a...

Poco F5 Review: Flagship Performance With a Side of Bloat

The Xiaomi Poco F5 is the 2023 update for the "flagship killer" series from the Poco brand. See how well the smartphone performed in NextPit's review.

Excellent (and stable) performance ; Great battery life ; Good screen ; Headphone jack

Preinstalled apps don’t spark joy ; Camera module is barebones ; No microSD support

As a successor to the very first Pocophone, the Poco F5 is a phone worthy of the Poco F1 heritage, even without using a top-of-the-line Snapdragon processor. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chip on the Xiaomi phone offered similar performance to all non-gaming...
