Weekly poll: Poco X5 and X5 Pro – hot or not?

Poco refreshed its Series X this week, this time launching two models – vanilla and Pro. The latter got a chipset much more suited to its Pro moniker with a better screen and main image sensor.

The Poco X5 Pro is the thinnest phone in the series at 7.9mm. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 778G and launches globally at $300/€300 for a 6/128GB unit, $250/€250 if you manage to grab the early bird deal.

The Poco X5 sticks to the Snapdragon 695 chip that was used in the X4 Pro and downgrades the camera from 108MP to 48MP. As we mentioned, the new Pro gets camera upgrades and features a 10-bit display with Dolby Vision.

The vanilla X5 doesn’t get any of those things, but it costs less – the same 6/128GB memory configuration is $250/€250 (or $200/€200 with the early bird offer). The X5 and X5 Pro launched in several countries earlier this week.

It should be noted that the Poco X5 Pro is launching well in India with an MSRP of ₹23,000 (and a promise of discounts), the first sale will be on Monday, February 13. The vanilla Poco X5 does not come, however.
