POCO unveils the F5 and F5 Pro for gaming and photography

POCO has unveiled the F5 series of mobile devices specially designed for gaming geeks, photography enthusiasts, and tech lovers.

Powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, the POCO F5 Pro is the first POCO device to feature a WQHD+ 120 Hz AMOLED DotDisplay. Meanwhile, the POCO F5 is designed to deliver a super-fast gaming experience, and is the first POCO smartphone released in global markets with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor.

"Designed for dedicated techies who want the best forward-looking technology, we have created two devices that make gaming easier and even more enjoyable, (as well as) taking photographs, creating video content, or using multiple apps. If gaming is your priority, the POCO F5 is a fantastic choice, while the POCO F5 Pro, especially the 512 GB mode, is the perfect choice for pro users,” said Angus Ng, Head of Product Marketing at POCO Global.

The POCO F5 Pro offers visual experiences that go beyond expectations, POCO said. The hyperclear WQHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display features 1,400 nits (peak brightness) and 68 billion colours1. It looks almost twice as clear as an FHD+ display and reveals more details than ever. In addition, the self-developed super touch capability makes gaming steadier and more accurate.

Equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the POCO F5 Pro has low power consumption and high performance. The device features LiquidCool Technology 2.0 with a high-efficient vapour chamber, which helps extend the lifespan of the battery and the device. Intelligent frame stabilisation technology, FEAS 2.2, further lowers power consumption by the frame for games.

POCO F5 Pro also has a steady, fast camera with a P3 colour gamut that is 25% larger than sRGB2. Moreover, it supports 8K video shooting, while optical image stabilisation and electronic image stabilisation (OIS and EIS) ensure video stability, especially when capturing fast and unpredictable subjects3.

Last but not least, the 5,160 mAh battery offers a choice of multiple fast-charging methods. It takes about 30 minutes for the 30 W wireless charger to take the phone to 50%, while the 67 W turbo charging technology can recharge to the same level in 15 minutes4.

As the first smartphone featuring Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 in global markets, the POCO F5 gives robust and smooth performance even when switching between multiple apps. The brand-new 5G chipset Antutu score is 31% higher than the previous generation. To provide a better gaming experience, LiquidCool Technology 2.0's vapour chamber with steam channels comes into play, improving heat dissipation by 35%5.

Enjoy your favourite content on the 6.67" 120 Hz Flow AMOLED DotDisplay. Its screen-to-body ratio of 93.4% creates an immersive experience. It is also easy on the eyes with 1,920 Hz PWM dimming and SGS-certified Low Blue Light Ex eye care.

POCO F5 has you covered for photography with a 64 MP main camera setup. The camera is faster with support from the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor. In addition, OIS and EIS reduce blur for 4K video shoots.

The POBO F5 has excellent battery life as well. With 67 W turbo charging, power goes back up to 100% within 50 minutes.6
