After less than a year of waiting, Poco’s new bet has come true. After the success of the third iteration of the series, the company seeks to enhance its catalog with the new Poco X5 5G and X5 Pro 5G. The new generation borrows some features from the F series, while also building on models like the Poco X4 Pro 5G. All this with the commitment of the brand to make its devices accessible to the public, since the starting price is within the price range of the model that we have just mentioned. But, what are the differences between Poco X5 vs X5 Pro? We see it below.
The prices indicated in the article could vary over time, so at tuexperto.com we limit ourselves to analyzing the differences as of the publication date. On the other hand, the specifications could vary depending on the market.
A practically traced design, except for small differences
The company hopes to fulfill its promise of a more uniform design by copying the lines of the two versions of the X4 Pro 5G with a more checkered chassis made entirely of polycarbonate and completely straight edges. The proof that the company has started from a similar design in the two terminals is that the dimensions are very similar, although the base model is a little longer and heavier due to the slightly protruding frame. we talk about some differences of just 3.1 millimeters in height and 8 grams in favor of the Pro model.
As for the rest of the design details, none have protection certifications against water and dust, although it is likely that they offer some resistance, since the company usually makes them somewhat waterproof. Likewise, the back is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass in its version 3 and 5 respectively. On the other hand, the fingerprint sensor is located above the Power button.
Same screens, with their pluses and minuses
If we focus on the screens, both start from a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sensitivity. Interestingly, the X5 Pro 5G offers slightly more maximum brightness and peaks Lows: 500 and 900 nits compared to 700 and 1,200 nits on the Poco X5 5G. Yes indeed, It has 10-bit color depth.which makes it more faithful to the colors that are represented in reality.
That is to say, the screen of the Poco X5 Pro 5G is less bright, but with a higher color fidelity. It also has Dolby Vision certification, despite the fact that it is not specified on the website. Interestingly, DCI-P3 certification is present on both the base model and the Pro.
Both mount Qualcomm, but the Pro is more powerful
Or at least in appearance. For its new generation, Poco has bet everything on Qualcomm with the Snapdragon 695 and 778G. In both cases, we find versions of and 8 GB of LPDDR4X type RAM and 128 and 256 GB of storage that works with the UFS 2.2 standard. The Poco X5 Pro 5G also supports virtual RAM expansion using Dynamic RAM Expansion 3.0 technology. According to Antutu tests, the Snapdragon 778G offers a performance around 33% higher than the 695so the user experience should be more successful.
Regarding connectivity, the main difference is the WiFi 6 network support for the Pro model and the Bluetooth version; the latter with a newer version (5.2 compared to the 5.1 standard of the Poco X5 5G), although in practice there are not many differences. Additionally, both have a 3.5-millimeter headphone port and a dual-speaker setup. It is important to note that the option to expand the memory using a micro SD card is only available on the Poco X5 5G. On the other hand, the brand It has not revealed the version of Android with MIUI 14, but we know that it runs on Android 12 waiting for it to be updated to the thirteenth iteration.
The 108 megapixels are repeated in one of them
At least the Poco X5 Pro 5G, which repeats the photography settings of its predecessor model, the X4 Pro 5G, with three cameras on the back, 108, 8 and 2 megapixels, with wide angle and macro lens. The Poco X5 5G bets on the same camera configuration, except for the main sensor, which lowers the resolution to 48 megapixels.
Resolution difference aside, the camera of the Pro model supports video recording in 4K at 30 FPS and 1080p at 60 FPS, while that of the X5 only supports recording in 1080p at 30 FPS. Differences in sensor size (1/1.52-inch on the X5 Pro vs. 1/2.76-inch on the X5) and focal aperture (f/1.8 vs. f/1.9) also make us think the pricier version you will get better results.
What about the front camera? In this case, we find two 16 and 13 megapixel sensors with focal lengths of f/2.4 and f/2.45 respectively. Both have software face unlock and the recording quality is limited in both cases to 1080p, although at 60 FPS in the higher version.
Battery and charging: similar autonomy, but more charging power in the X5 Pro
Both also have an integrated 5,000 mAh battery, although this does not imply that the autonomy is identical. Taking into account that the processor of the Poco X5 is less powerful, you will probably manage to scratch a few minutes at the end of the dayAlthough nothing can be confirmed until we have both devices in hand.
Regarding the load, the Poco X5 Pro comes with a 67W charger that promises to charge its battery in less than 40 minutes. Compared to its little brother, which offers 33W of charging power, it supports up to twice the power.
Price, opinion and conclusions, Little X5 Pro 5G or Little X5 5G?
It is time to draw conclusions after knowing the main differences between the Poco X5 vs Poco X5 Pro, which are usually conditioned by their price. Both versions will be available simultaneously on February 6 at 2:00 p.m. and February 13 on Amazon, Media Markt, PCcomponentes, po.co and mi.com with a discount for early booking of 300 and 350 euros respectively. The pricing roadmap is as follows:
- Little X5 5G 6 and 128 GB: 300 euros (250 euros promotional price).
- Little X5 5G 8 and 256 GB: 350 euros (300 euros promotional price).
- Little X5 Pro 5G 6 and 128 GB: 350 euros (300 euros promotional price).
- Little X5 Pro 5G 8 and 256 GB: 400 euros (350 euros promotional price).
Taking this into account, is it worth paying the 50 euros difference that separates the two versions? The truth is that yes. In general terms, the Poco X5 Pro 5G is a much more recommended terminal, since It is not only more powerful, but also somewhat more compact, it has twice as powerful fast charging and its main camera is superior in almost all respects to that of the X5. It will be necessary to see if with the weeks, the price of the two models is close to tip the scales to one side or the other.
