Reviews for the Xiaomi Poco F5

86.8% Poco F5 smartphone review - The lightweight Xiaomi phone outclasses the competition with its performance [Redmi Note 12 Turbo] | Notebookcheck
The Poco F5 is one of the first phones to make use of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2. The rest of its package promises a good user experience, including a 120-Hz display, WiFi 6E, a 3.5-mm jack and a 64-MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS). Worth buying?

POCO F5 currently costs approximately 350 euros. Is it worth it? I don't think this will be a bad purchase. There are no major flaws with this phone, but there are some minor flaws and a few things that didn't really convince me. Still, overall the phone is quite nice and anyone who buys it while being aware of these few imperfections should be satisfied. Therefore, it is not a particularly high-risk purchase. However, before you decide to buy this model, I recommend checking out other shops’ offers. While visiting the official Xiaomi website, I found a slightly more expensive POCO 4 GT model with a more powerful processor and better gaming parameters. This may be a more serious choice, but if your budget is around 350 euros and you are considering offers from Xiaomi and related brands, POCO F5 is also a choice worth considering.

Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo long-term review
Source: GSM Arena English
The ultrawide is at best decent during the day, and pretty much unusable at night. This is clearly another cost-cutting exercise, and we'll be honest: we're growing very tired of these 8 MP sensors at any price point above half of what the Poco F5 is going for. This should have been better. In the end picking the Poco F5, or any other smartphone, is a matter of personal preference - what you prioritize and what you can live without. There is no perfect device out there, and especially at mid-range prices it's impossible not to have compromises. As always, we tried our best to bring you a very detailed look at our time with it, in order to help you make an informed decision as to whether this is the one for you or not, regardless of what your specific priorities may be. For what it's worth, we've enjoyed our time with the Poco F5 more than we have with any other mid-ranger we've ever reviewed long-term, and think that, with realistic expectations considering its hardware innards, the typical Xiaomi / Poco / Redmi software situation and price, it will be a joy for anyone to use.

Xiaomi Poco F5 and F5 Pro Smartphones Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
f you want a smartphone with flagship specs but don’t want to pay the premium that flagships usually ask for, then the Poco F5 and F5 Pro smartphones will surely fill your needs. They have the specs and the price to provide an excellent experience and performance. Both smartphones provide sheer power and value in every department at their respective price point that the legendary Poco F4 once did. However, these days the market is facing fierce competition, and having a clear winner is difficult. Both smartphones clearly offer great value, but it’s up to the customers to choose which smartphone is going to be the one for them to buy. Choose the right smartphone out of the two models depending on your needs and requirements. However, if you are not a fan of Xiaomi, then don’t worry, there are plenty of other smartphones in the market that also provide a similar value and power. Smartphones such as the Vivo iQOO Neo 7 Pro also come with similar flagship killer specs at a similar price point.

Last year's POCO phone didn't offer any major improvement over its predecessor, making the Poco F4's price hard to justify. But the new Poco F5 is a different story: it's got the power you need, and it's still affordable. But the price is starting to get a little high.

70% Poco F5 5G review: A mid-range powerhouse
Source: Gadgets Now English
The Poco F5 5G can be a great choice for users who are looking for a smartphone that offers powerful performance for gaming and multitasking. The phone offers a lot of value for money that not only competes well with other phones in this segment but also has capabilities that users can’t undermine easily. However, if you are ready to compromise a bit on the average camera performance and the plastic back design, this smartphone can be recommended as a good buy. For customers who put gaming performance before the camera, this can be a great deal in this budget. The self-proclaimed king is ready to serve consumers looking to buy smartphones with a powerful performance in the mid-range price segment.

78% Poco F5 Review: Mid-segmenter with near-flagship gaming soul!
Source: Tech PP English
At its starting price of Rs 29,999 for 8 GB/ 256 GB, the Poco F5 is pretty much in a zone of its own if all you want is a phone with a powerful new chip that is capable of high-end gaming. Get out of the gaming zone, however, and it has a fair deal of competition to deal with. Perhaps the most obvious is its own sibling, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, which might not have as powerful a chip (it runs on the Dimensity 1050) but comes with a much better 200-megapixel main sensor and also 120W fast charging. Those looking for a more eye-catching design might also think of the Nothing Phone (1), which is perhaps the most striking device in the segment even more than a year after its release, and remains a very good performer. There is also the Google Pixel 6a, which, although a year old, comes with some very smart features and has one of the best cameras in the price segment.

80% Poco F5 5G Review: The Mid-Range Gaming Phone to Beat
Source: NDTV Gadgets English
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 powerful smartphone for gaming. Other areas where the F5 5G excels are its display, good battery life, and slim design. I just wished it felt a bit more premium like its predecessor did. The selfie and ultra-wide cameras are also fairly average and could have been better. If you want a more premium looking phone, the Nothing Phone 1 checks all the boxes at this price, and gets you wireless charging. The Samsung Galaxy A34 and Motorola Edge 40 are also worth considering if you need full-fledged waterproofing. If you are looking for good camera performance around this price, then the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G makes a good alternative as it features familiar software, and comes with quicker charging and a better set of cameras.

80% Poco F5 review: A mid-budget powerhouse
Source: Techlusive English
In the beginning of this conversation, I had mentioned that the Poco F5 has all the hallmarks of a good phone. Now, as I conclude my analysis, I can confidently say that the Poco F5 promises what it delivers. The phone has a bright and vibrant display, a decent camera setup, a powerful core ideal and a long battery life, all of which make it an ideal mid-budget buy. What’s more? It also has a bigger vapour cooling chamber for avid gamers. Sure, the bloatware is a bit of a problem, and the phone could have performed slightly better under low light conditions (don’t we all want more?), but for all practical purposes, the Poco F5 is a winner.

80% Poco F5 review: A power-packed mid-range smartphone
Source: The Indian Express English
The Poco F5 can be considered a mid-range gaming phone, thanks to its fast processor, great display, good battery life, above-average camera, and the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack. It is one of the few phones in this price range that focuses primarily on the user experience rather than being flamboyant in one or two departments. With the base model featuring 8GB RAM and 256 GB storage costing less than Rs 30,000, this is one of the best mid-range phones in the country. When combined with the 2-year warranty, the Poco F5 becomes a compelling package that will impress most users.

POCO F5 5G Review – Flagship Performance at Mid-Range Price
Source: Cashify English
POCO F5 5G is a great phone for its price and definitely a solid performance focused phone. It can handle anything you throw at it, from general use to heavy gaming; it won’t disappoint you. The display of the phone is literally one of the best I have seen in the segment. Super thin bezels and the 120Hz refresh rate will make you fall in love with it. The battery backup is great and 67W fast charging is good enough for a casual user. While the camera performance is not top-notch, its pretty decent. All in all, POCO F5 5G is a great option under 30,000 for those who want a power-packed phone with 5G connectivity.

80% Poco F5 Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The Poco F5 is quite clearly a better phone than the Poco F4, with impressive performance, a nicer design, and superior battery life adding to an already impressive AMOLED display. However, some familiar drawbacks remain, including the overly busy MIUI software, a middling IP53 waterproof rating, and a camera that merely scrapes into ‘OK’ status. Now that it’s no longer a sub-£400 proposition like its predecessors, these flaws can’t be so readily overlooked. Ultimately, like the Poco F5 Pro, the Poco F5 is something of a mid-range specialist, offering a strong media and gaming-focused experience for decent money. If your priorities lie elsewhere – flagship-level design, clean software, or a genuinely good camera, say – there are plenty of better options for similar or even less money. More choice is good, of course, and the Poco F5 works its particular niche very well. What it isn’t, however, is that Holy Grail of a mid-range all-rounder that we can recommend to most people without caveat.

80% POCO F5 review: packs a punch
Source: 91mobiles English
The POCO F5 is a gaming-focused smartphone that has a lot to offer. Talking about the niggles, the handset lacks user-expandable storage, the software contains bloatware and ads, and its ultra-wide sensor is average at best. Additionally, some may dislike the phone’s glossy finish design. If you prefer a more sophisticated design with a matte finish, the iQOO Neo 7 (review) could be a good choice for you. The smartphone, much like the POCO F5, is selling in India starting at Rs 29,999 and offers a superb performance with a lovely screen. What’s more, the Neo 7 supports 120W fast charging, which is nearly twice as fast as the POCO smartphone’s fast charging solution. On the other hand, the POCO smartphone’s 12-bit display panel is a standout feature, a unique offering not found in any other smartphone in the segment. The POCO F5 also boasts a capable chipset, stereo speakers and solid battery life, which contribute to a better gaming and multimedia experience. If these aspects appeal to you, the POCO F5 will prove to be a worthy buy for the price.

Poco F5 Unboxing Vs F5 Pro | Gaming, Camera & Beyond!
Source: Tech Spurt English
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? 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!

Poco F5 smartphone review: Strong on paper and so in hands-on experience
Source: Business Standard English
The Poco F5 is a performance-centric smartphone with strength in core areas such as design, display, audio, and battery. Imaging and bloatware-loaded interface is a drag on it, yet the phone makes a strong contender in the midrange segment due to lack of worthy options from smartphone brands such as Xiaomi, OnePlus, Realme, and Samsung. Offered in 8GB RAM and 12GB RAM variants, both with 256GB on-board storage, at Rs 29,999 and Rs 33,999, the Poco F5 is a midrange smartphone that is strong on paper and so in hands-on experience.

80% Poco F5 review: no, really – how much?
Source: Stuff TV English
The Poco F5 is a brilliant phone, especially if you want a slim, lightweight pocket rocket that’s excellent for gaming and watching on. For a certain type of user who would rather gaming grunt and long-lasting battery life over camera clout, it’s actually a smarter choice than the Pixel 7a. The vastly different prices we’ve seen it for sale at are a problem when giving it a rating. If you can pick it up at under £350, then it’s a five-star phone: nothing else at that price can play Genshin Impact at maximum settings – it’s that simple. At its UK RRP of £449, though, it’s more like a four-star phone. After all, while the Pixel 7a isn’t better across the board, its cleaner interface, significantly better camera, wireless charging and IP67 water and dust resistance give it the edge. All said and done, though, the Poco F5 is very easy to recommend.

POCO F5 5G Review
Source: Mobygyaan English
The POCO F5 5G takes on the flagship smartphones with its new powerful CPU onboard, and it’s truly a flagship killer when it comes to performance for the price it holds (₹29,999). The POCO F5 5G is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 which has a superior performance in its class, the POCO F5 5G leaves behind many phones at the given price in terms of performance. The POCO F5 5G also comes in a massive 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM variant with 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage which is an overall performance package paired with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2. Aside from its performance, the POCO F5 5G offers a stunning 12-bit AMOLED display paired with stereo speakers, delivers an impressive camera performance, and is aided by a 67W fast charger that charges the phone in minutes. You also get a bunch of MIUI 14 features and perks with all the native traits of the Android 13 operating system.

80% POCO F5 & F5 Pro Review: The best POCO has to offer just got better
Source: Android Headlines English
POCO has been releasing rather compelling devices for years now. Price tags are really important when we talk about POCO devices. The company always tries to offer the best hardware for the price, and it seems like it managed to do so here, yet again. Both of these devices look very compelling on paper, though the ‘Pro’ model more so due to its processor. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is still a beast of an SoC, but the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is no slouch either. Neither phone has any critical flaws, while they offer good displays with high refresh rate, really good performance, fast charging, and more. The POCO F5 Pro still needs an update or two in order for the camera to become better, as it has the same camera hardware as the POCO F5. All in all, for the price, these two phones are solid offerings. Not everyone wants to spend over $1,000/€1,000 on a phone.

The Poco F5 has entered a highly competitive mid-range segment against some already very highly-rated smartphones like the Vivo V27 Pro and the iQOO Neo 7. Amid such tough competition, the Poco F5 holds its own.

90% Poco F5 Review: Flagship Performance With a Side of Bloat
Source: Nextpit EN English
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 flagship phones from 2021 and 2022 in games and daily apps, without the overheating issues that affected those devices. The Poco F5 unfortunately doesn’t improve things much in the camera department compared to its predecessors, but that was never Poco’s mission. And the Redmi Note 12’s DNA can be seen clearly in the questionable selection of secondary cameras, which could be much more useful with a telephoto lens. Another negative point is the number of third-party apps preinstalled, but by this point, it seems to be a tradeoff to have the device at a lower price range.

Poco F5 5G First Impressions: A Game-Changer?
Source: NDTV Gadgets English
Finally, we come to the cameras. The Poco F5 5G features a similar setup as last year's model with a primary 64-megapixel camera with optical stabilisation (OIS), an 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 2-megapixel macro. For selfies, you get a 16-megapixel front camera. We hope the camera quality has improved from last year's model, which struggled in low-light situations. The Poco F5 5G seems to be a decent upgrade over its predecessor as far as the SoC and battery capacity go. I think the design could have been better as the F4 5G looked a lot more premium in my opinion. We'll have our final verdict for you in the full review. Additionally, if you want to want us to compare it with any particular phone or check anything specific, do drop us a comment.

Out of the new Poco F5 series, I’d say the Poco F5 is a better bang for your buck overall. Yes, it lacks a higher-resolution display, but it still offers a great viewing experience and audio quality. As mentioned at the beginning of this review, Poco has given the F5 much of what is great about the more expensive model, so you get more than enough of that more premium experience for less money: great display and stereo speakers to enjoy content; long-lasting battery life and fast charging; and a good front-facing camera. The camera system on the phone's back could be better, but the main shooter is decent enough to take snapshots to share with friends and family on your socials.
