There are just over 24 hours left until Messe Berlin GmbH closes its doors, bringing IFA 2022 to a close, the 60th year of this popular, successful and veteran trade show, which usually marks the end of the summer holidays each year. technology sector. And while the most notable announcements are usually made in the early days, during the event (either as part of it or concurrently) companies send us their new proposals.

This is the case for POCO on this occasion, which has announced its two new entry-level devices, POCO M5 and POCO M5stwo smartphones that, with very tight prices (especially with their respective introductory offers), become a very interesting proposition for those on tight budgets, but looking for a device that can easily handle the most common daily activities.

POCO M5 and M5s: technical specifications

You may be wondering which of the two is “best”. However, the truth is that each of them has its strengths and weaknesses. In terms of screen size, the POCO M5 wins 6.58 inches, up from 6.43 of the POCO M5s, which, yes, is based on an OLED panel. The M5 has a higher refresh rate compared to the higher brightness level of the M5s, and in both cases the screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.

As for its internals, the main difference between the two is found in the SoC, and MediaTekHelioG99 (six nanometers) in the POCO M5 versus a MediaTek Helio G95 (12 nanometers). In this case, a point for the M5. The two terminals are identical in terms of RAM, with the option for 4 and 6 gigabytes of LPDDR4X and 64 or 128 gigabytes of UFS2.2 storage. However, at least initially, only two versions with 4GB of RAM will be available in Spain. It also depends on the battery capacity, 5000 milliampsalthough in this case the POCO M5s allows fast charging up to 33 watts, compared to the M5’s maximum of 18 watts.

Again, they match in terms of connectivity. Both terminals are Dual SIM 4Gand supplement their wireless portion with Wi-Fi Ac and Bluetooth (5.3 in POCO M5 and 5.0 in POCO M5), NFC and connectivity with major satellite navigation systems. As for the physical connectors, we can find a USB-C data and charging port and an audio minijack in both.

The point where the M5 stands out above the M5 is undoubtedly in the photography section. The POCO M5 main camera integrates three elements, the main sensor with 50 megapixels and two others, each with two megapixels, macro and depth. from his side POCO M5s main camera has four elements: 64-megapixel main sensor, 8-megapixel ultra-wide, 2-megapixel macro and 2-megapixel depth. As for the front cameras, the M5 has a 5-megapixel f/2.2 sensor, while the M5s is also an improvement on this point with a 13-megapixel f/2.2 sensor.
