POCO X5 Pro enters by sight. It is similar to the base model at the design level, but we have our first change to the bezels. thanks to you Streaming AMOLED display, the selected flexible panel fits better on the body of the device. It’s the type of display we used to see on high-end models, and now it’s coming to the X series for the first time.
