The anticipation for the launch of the Poco F5 has been building up for some time now, and the brand’s Indian head has been teasing its arrival lately. We have already come across a set of leaked live images of the Poco F5. Today, the phone’s chipset has been officially announced, marking a significant milestone for the upcoming release.
It has been officially confirmed that the highly-anticipated Poco F5 will run on a cutting-edge Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 SoC. This powerful chipset will set the Poco F5 apart from other smartphones in India, as it will be the first device to utilize this advanced technology. According to the company, this chipset will offer a 50% increase in overall performance, a 13% improvement in power efficiency, and 2x improved AI performance compared to the previous Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
We have already learned about the processor that will power the highly anticipated Poco F5. In fact, we already have extensive knowledge about the device as a whole, as it is essentially a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo that is intended for global markets.
The similarity between the Poco F5 specifications and those of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, which is currently exclusive to China, is striking. There is a high possibility that both devices are the same, so we can expect the Poco F5 to feature a 5,000 mAh battery with 67W charging support and the latest MIUI 14 user interface running on top of the Android 13 operating system. Additionally, we can anticipate a 6.67-inch AMOLED display and a 64MP primary camera.
The Poco F5 has been confirmed to feature 256GB of internal storage as standard in India, with buyers having the option to choose between 8GB and 12GB RAM variants. Leaks suggest that the phone will be available in black, white, and blue color options, though it remains unclear if a special edition like the Redmi Note 12 Turbo Harry Potter Edition will be released.
The Poco F-series is known for its impressive performance and the upcoming Poco F5 is no exception. Although it may seem like a step down from the Snapdragon 870 featured in the Poco F4, the new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset promises improved battery efficiency and overall performance. The device is sure to offer a seamless user experience and is eagerly awaited by tech enthusiasts.
As of now, the price and availability of the Poco F5 are still a mystery, with no official announcement yet. However, with the launch date approaching soon, it is expected that these details will be revealed soon, leaving fans and enthusiasts eagerly waiting for the big reveal.
