The triple lens cameras in the F5 and F5 Pro are identical, consisting of a 64-megapixel main lens, an 8-megapixel ultrawide, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. There are other versions in some markets. The F5 and the F5 Pro models I tested had an ample 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Only the F5 Pro supports wireless charging, and it is relatively speedy, if you can find a wireless charger capable of delivering 30 watts. Both phones come with a 67-watt charger in the box, and I charged the F5 from 29 to 80 percent in just 17 minutes. I went a couple of days between charges, even with several hours of screen time each day. You can expect either phone to see you through the busiest days with some change. Beyond the quirks of Xiaomi’s user interface, MIUI 14, I had no issues jumping in and out of apps, scrolling the web, or using the camera. Both phones can smoothly run games like Real Racing 3 and PUBG Mobile at a high frame rate, and the Pro kept its cool during a monster session of Kingdom Rush Vengeance. In everyday use, I did not feel any difference. The F5 Pro gets a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, but the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 in the Poco F5 actually outperforms it in many benchmarks. These are bright, sharp screens that are legible in sunlight, and I found them a pleasure to use for web browsing, gaming, and kicking back with Netflix. While the F5 and F5 Pro boast a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120-Hz refresh rate, the Pro has a higher resolution and is slightly more responsive. The F5 has a fingerprint sensor in the power button, while the F5 Pro has an in-display fingerprint sensor. They are relatively lightweight and easy to use one-handed. The F5 has a trio of round lenses, much like the latest phones from Samsung and Apple, but the F5 Pro has a more pronounced rectangular camera module with a metal surround, which looks a bit dated to my eyes.īoth have a USB-C port and SIM tray on the bottom edge, but only the F5 finds room for a 3.5-mm audio jack up top. It’s funny how a little extra weight gives a phone a more expensive feel. The F5 Pro is a touch bigger and heavier, with a curved glass back sliding into a thinner frame. The Poco F5 and F5 Pro are almost exactly the same size.
