New Xiaomi POCO M5 and M5 S: power, cameras and gaming

The current problem with many brands is that they offer several models of a mobile looking to appeal to a larger audience. And they succeed, but sometimes the choice is merely whether you want the mobile model with fewer functions and therefore cheaper, or if you want the Plus / Pro model that has it all. POCO, one of the mobile brands most focused on the young demographic, knows that there are several buyer profiles in terms of mobiles, and instead of launching a new terminal with slight variations in its different models, it has wanted to create two well different. And at knockdown prices too.

So what are you looking for? A mobile to play, or to enjoy watching and taking photos?

POCO M5, gaming smartphone

For those looking for a mobile focused on ‘gaming’ but at a very affordable price, the POCO brand presents POCO M5, a terminal with a 6.58-inch DynamicSwitch 90 Hz FullHD+ DotDrop screen , capable of dynamically changing the refresh rate of the panel. In this way, if you are playing, the refresh rate will increase, while if you are only watching a video, the rate will decrease. It is a function focused not only on facilitating its use for the user, but also to extract the maximum possible hours of use from the battery.

Featuring a display with a 240Hz touch sampling rate, POCO M5 is ideal for playing titles that require fast tapping and tactile feedback. The POCO M5 panel also thinks of the gamer by implementing a Sunlight screen to be able to use the mobile outdoors without having problems seeing it in an environment with a lot of light that is reflected on the panel.

But let’s go to what interests us the most, its ‘guts’: POCO M5 is a mobile to play and not only Candy Crush, so it comes equipped with a very powerful processor such as the MediaTek Helio G99 , a 6nm chipset with an 8-core CPU, with two Cortex-A76 and an Arm Mali G57 GPU capable of displaying advanced 3D graphics. All this with 4GB of RAM and the option of 64 or 128GB of internal storage space. And controlled by Game Turbo 5.0 technology that optimizes CPU, GPU and RAM usage to prevent performance issues and bottlenecks.

We are talking about a lot of power and unseen elements for a mobile that moves in the price range in which POCO M5 moves. But there’s more: a triple rear camera made up of a 50MP main camera, a 2MP depth sensor for real-time depth detection, and a 2MP macro camera for close-ups.

And how about battery? As so many resources translate into a lot of energy consumption, POCO M5 has a 5,000 mAh battery to withstand gaming sessions, as well as 18W fast charging to charge it quickly and continue with the game while not neglecting your social networks.

With a price directly from the economic range, the POCO M5 will be available from September 12 on the main online channels and on the po.co website in three colors: Black, Green and Yellow.

  • POCO M5 4GB+64GB : it will be available for €189.99 on the main online channels and at po.co
  • POCO M5 4GB+128GB : it will be available for €209.99 on the main online channels and at po.co

In addition, POCO M5 will have a special early bird launch offer of €169.99 and €189.99 in its versions available from September 12 to 16 on the main online channels and on po.co

POCO M5s, capture the world around you

Aren’t you one of those who play on your mobile, but you do like to take photos and enjoy watching content? Then your model is POCO M5s, a smartphone designed for this demographic. Mounting a smaller screen but more designed for the consumption of content such as series, movies or sporting events, POCO M5s has a 6.43-inch AMOLED DotDisplay panel that also equips technologies such as DC Dimming

In addition, the terminal has 360º ambient light sensors throughout the surface, which allow self-adjustment of brightness on the screen with which you can avoid annoying visual fatigue, and spend hours looking at the screen without it weighing you down so much on your eyes. . And if the display wasn’t enough, POCO M5s proves that it’s a mobile for content by mounting a pair of dual speakers to create an immersive sound experience.

And internally? The processor is a point less powerful, but not less efficient for that, since POCO M5s mounts the MediaTek Helio G95 chipset, which together with its 4GB of RAM and 64/128GB of internal space provide more than enough power for multitasking, and being able to be viewing content and consulting networks, or shopping online, or retouching a photo at the same time, without the performance suffering. All this with a 5,000 mAh battery that allows you to spend 12 hours in a row watching a video, or a day and a half talking on the phone. In fact, if you have the mobile in standby mode, the battery will last up to a month without charging it.

But this mobile is focused on Photography: what does POCO M5s have to satisfy the expert and amateur photographers in the world? Well, a quadruple main module composed of:

  • 64MP main camera
  • 8MP ultra wide angle camera for wide photos
  • 2MP sensor for depth detection
  • 2MP sensor for macro

And in the part of the selfies, a front camera of 13 MP ideal for video calls and individual or group conversations. But beware, POCO M5s keeps an AS in that it implements an entire creative studio in the terminal with its own AI, with easy-to-learn photo and video functions to give all kinds of effects and quality to your works. In this way, the artificial intelligence can lend you a hand to take a great night photo , suggest you use the Bokeh effect, or make a time-lapse video with a professional finish.
