Following in the footsteps of the technological giant Xiaomi, the independent subdivision POCO offers mobile phones based on value for money at its best. Two of the most attractive cases are the models that make up the POCO M5 series, which today is on sale on Amazon at an even lower price.
Both the POCO M5 and the POCO M5s are two good budget smartphones that boast, among other things, a battery of almost infinite capacity and balanced performance. A great opportunity to have a good phone without spending too much after taking advantage of the discount for both.
From €169.99
Although it is true that the reduction in the two models is not as significant as one might expect, since we are talking about an offer of 20 euros each. However, it must be borne in mind that they are already cheap in themselves, so there cannot be an abysmal reduction in their value either.
In such a way that you can get the LITTLE M5 for 169.99 euros , while the LITTLE M5s stays at 209.99 euros as it is the version with 128 GB of storage. This means that you can choose based on price or internal space, so think about what is more worthwhile for you.
The problem is that the POCO M5s arrives after Reyes , so you must take this into account when choosing your terminal. On the other hand, you have the possibility of financing any of the two mobiles for 10 months without interest so that your pocket does not suffer so much.
The POCO M5 series to power
We are going to review quickly, but in detail, the main characteristics that the POCO M5 and the POCO M5s boast. Both are good smartphones, but each excels in certain areas, so it’s worth taking a look to see which one is best for you based on your needs.
First of all, the POCO M5 equips an LCD-type screen with a dynamic refresh rate of 90 Hz to gain fluidity and energy efficiency, making it ideal for gaming. Instead, the POCO M5s has an AMOLED panel with much brighter colors of 1,100 nits to guarantee optimal content reproduction, but it stays at 60 Hz.
The brain of both mobiles is similar. On the one hand, the POCO M5 integrates a MediaTek Helio G99 chip, while the POCO M5s does the same with a Helio G95. The performance is solvent in both cases so you don’t have a problem carrying out any task, although you should be careful with the graphic demands of some video games, such as Call of Duty or Genshin Impact.
We come to one of the most outstanding sections of this family of devices, such as autonomy. Both have a 5,000 mAh battery that offers a duration that exceeds 24 hours without much difficulty. The difference is in fast charging, where the POCO M5s takes the jackpot with 33W compared to 18W for the POCO M5. So the first one takes about 50 minutes to fully charge.
In the cameras we also find differences and that is, if you are looking for a higher level photographic experience , our bet is the POCO M5s. Mainly, because it has up to 4 sensors (main 64 MP, wide angle 8 MP, depth 2 MP and macro 2 MP) compared to the 3 sensors of the POCO M5 (main 50 MP, depth 2 MP and macro 2MP). The results are similar to each other, especially at night, where for a demanding photographer it will not be enough, but during the day they take very good photos for what they are worth.
Both have NFC for contactless payments, while the POCO M5s is the lightest model with a weight of 178.8 grams . Likewise, both arrive with Android 12 as the operating system and over the next year they should receive the new update.
