This POCO M5
Although the POCO M5 is the most traditional in terms of panel, It has the most advanced processor.. Its SoC is a MediaTek Helio G95, which, despite its naming, is much more efficient than the Helio G99 that mounts the POCO M5S. In this case, we’re dealing with a chip fabricated on a 6 nanometer process, compared to the G99’s (alarmingly high) 12 nanometers.
Internal memory is 64 or 128 GB, type UFS 2.2. It may be accompanied by 4 or 6 GB of RAM, and the battery to power it all is 5,000 mAh. Fast charging is 18W, quite modest.
The 6.53-inch panel with IPS technology has an adaptive refresh rate between 30 and 90 Hz. 50 megapixels, two secondary ones are two: macro and depth. In short, an input range whose main ally is the battery.
These POCO M5s
POCO M5S is slightly less advanced in terms of processor compared to the M5. The decision is to reduce the processor so that you can bet on better technologies in the rest of the set. The main advantage of this terminal AMOLED display with peak peak up to 1100 nits. It has no adaptive refresh rate, but it is much more ambitious than its “little brother” IPS.
We also found better fast charging technology that inherits 33W from various high-end Xiaomi models. 5,000mAh is retainedand we don’t have wireless charging technology.
Also improve the camera64 megapixel main sensor and ultra wide angle. The rest of the sensors are secondary sensors of two megapixels. Although not a small cell phone, More compact and lighter than POCO M5It weighs about 20 grams less compared to the M5.
