The Poco F5 5G India launch brings one of the most powerful mid-range smartphones to the market, packing a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor, 12 GB RAM, and a feature-rich triple camera system — all at a price that undercuts the competition. Available via Flipkart from May 16, the phone is positioned squarely as a gaming and performance device without the flagship price tag.
Poco F5 5G India Price and Availability
Poco F5 5G comes in two variants. The 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage model is priced at Rs 29,999, while the 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage variant costs Rs 33,999. Under the introductory offer, these prices drop to Rs 26,999 and Rs 30,999 respectively. The phone is available in three color options: Charcoal Black, Electric Blue, and Snow Storm White. Sales began on May 16 exclusively through Flipkart.
Display and Design
The Poco F5 5G sports a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels. The panel supports an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and a 240 Hz touch sampling rate, making it highly responsive for gaming. A screen-to-body ratio of 93.5 percent and 1920 Hz PWM dimming reduce eye strain during long sessions. The display covers 100 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protects the front.
Performance: Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 and Cooling
At the heart of the Poco F5 5G is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset paired with LPDDR5X RAM. The base model offers 8 GB of physical RAM that can be expanded to 15 GB using virtual RAM, while the top variant ships with 12 GB of RAM expandable to 19 GB. Storage on both models is 256 GB UFS 3.1. To handle sustained performance, Poco fitted the F5 5G with a vapor chamber cooling system spanning a 3,725 mm² heat dissipation area backed by 14 layers of graphite sheets. The phone also carries an IP53 splash-resistant rating.
Camera Setup
The rear camera system consists of three sensors. The primary shooter is a 64 MP sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), assisted by an 8 MP ultra-wide angle lens and a 2 MP macro camera. For selfies and video calls, there is a 16 MP front-facing camera. OIS on the main sensor helps keep shots sharp even in low-light or while moving.
Battery and Charging
Poco F5 5G is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery with 67W Turbo Charging. Poco claims a full charge from zero to 100 percent takes just 45 minutes.
Connectivity and Audio
Connectivity options include 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The phone features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and dual stereo speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos.
