POCO is the third smartphone brand of Xiaomi. Like Redmi, it doesn’t spend money on R&D, which allows the company to make phones at lower prices. We mean the whole job is done by Xiaomi. So Redmi and Poco can use the achievements of their parent company without spending a penny. There was a time when we thought that POCO would withdraw from the market. But it’s here, and it still designs and launches new models. Today, MySmartPrice reported that the POCO X4 follow-up model would hit the market soon. We are talking about the POCO X5 5G, certified by BIS and FCC.

The FCC website shows that the POCO X5 5G uses a rectangular camera module, supports dual-band Wi-Fi, and has a 4900mAh battery. Also, the phone supports n5, n7, n38, n41, n77, and n78 5G frequency bands. Our protagonist also runs the yet-to-come MIUI 14.
