In a first for POCO X series smartphones, POCO X5 Pro 5G features an astonishing 6.67″ Flow AMOLED screen.

Powerful and responsive POCO X5 Pro 5G’s Snapdragon® 778G 5G chipset with advanced TSMC 6nm has an AnTuTu score of 545,093 [2], which is even higher than the newly released MediaTek Dimensity 1080.

Users can say goodbye to battery anxiety thanks to the fast charging technology; if you are watching shows on YouTube videos, the X5 5G battery can power for a whopping 21 hours [8]. POCO’s 33W fast charger can bring an empty battery back to 100% charge in about 68 minutes [9], just enough for you to take a break and grab a meal before resuming your game or catching up with the latest online videos.
