Editor Rating
3.8/5

The Xiaomi Poco M5 is a much-awaited upgrade to the popular M series of the famous sub-brand, which features a more refined and understated design that is highlighted by the special leather texture on the rear panel. The new triple camera array is housed inside a wide camera bump that covers most of the back panel at the top. This panel features a plain matte black look that contrasts nicely with the leather texture. You also get a more responsive 90Hz IPS display, which features an FHD+ resolution as well as HDR support.
