Paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, the phone handles multitasking and gaming without breaking a sweat. Storage can be further expanded via a microSD card, which is a welcome addition at this price point.
Camera System
On the rear, POCO F5 Pro mounts a triple-camera setup led by a 64MP OV64B sensor with an f/1.8 aperture. This is joined by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens for landscape shots and a 2MP macro sensor for close-up photography. Selfies are handled by a 16MP front camera positioned in a punch-hole cutout. The camera configuration targets versatility across different shooting scenarios.
Battery and Charging
The 5,160mAh battery is one of the larger cells in the flagship-adjacent segment. Combined with 67W fast charging support, topping up the phone from flat should take well under an hour. This combination of high capacity and fast replenishment is a practical advantage for heavy users who cannot afford downtime.
Software and Connectivity
The device ships with Android 13 running MIUI 14, Xiaomi's custom skin that brings a host of customisation options alongside the base Android experience. On the connectivity front, the POCO F5 Pro covers 5G, 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a USB Type-C port — a comprehensive set that ensures the phone stays future-ready.
