      Anonymous, 06 Feb 2023The X5 Pro is Android 13. Only the X5 is Android 12, which ... moreX5 pro is android 12 but with miui 14, which didn't bring nothing new to global users.

        I think I'm going to wait for X6 Pro. I have X3 Pro, 4 months old. 87 € at my carrier, no contract. It's on par with X5 Pro (or better in some specs), except for IPS, which I prefer over OLED anyway.

        X5 is a bit weird. It's to close to POCO M5S.
        M5S is more compact, has stereo speakers, chip not much worse than X5, stellar battery life and 4K camera.
        Oh, it's 50-100€ cheaper.

          LoneOwl, 06 Feb 2023The early bird price is ok(250E)for a 120hz amoled/snap778 ... moreA52s has samsung screen. This one does not.

            anonnznz, 06 Feb 2023this could have been almost perfect but poco had to remove ... moreBecause they want you to pay for their Cloud Service. Question: With 256GB on board...what do you need a memory card for?

              Mikey, 06 Feb 2023Comments here acting like this isn't a 250€ device. Being €250 is not excuse to have components from 2012.

              Enough with the 2MP camera, gorilla 3, tiamna/china star screen etc Xiaomi loves to use.

              Samsung A33 was announced for €300 with OIS, better screen, IP67 and 13MP selfie with 4k video.

                Mikey, 06 Feb 2023Comments here acting like this isn't a 250€ device. It isn't. It's a €300 device and that's just for the 128GB version which isn't enough storage as they've removed the micro SD slot so then that makes it a €330 for the 256GB version

                    with the same chip, obviously, the purchase of the old samsung a52s 5g, which has the indispensable micro sd slot, is updated to android 13 and finally can still be found at a price below € 300 seems obvious

                        £330 for the X5 Pro 8GB 256GB(early bird)
                        £249 for the X5 6GB 128GB(early bird)
                        £289 for the X5 8GB 256GB(early bird)
                        For the people in the UK like me.

                          Anonymous, 06 Feb 2023Wow, make two reviews and videos in few minútes after launc... moreThe reason why suddenly everyone published reviews at the same time is whats known as embargo. Company provided reviewers with phone, and they could play as much as they want with it, and even do a review. BUT they can't publish review until the date company allowed them (not to spoil product lauching and presentation).

                          They played with the device for some time, and even had review ready to be published. They just waited until Xiaomi gave green light and that's it.

                            The early bird price is ok(250E)for a 120hz amoled/snap778 device(kind of Samsung A52s but without microSD).

                            But anything more expensive than that(300+)is too much for 2023.

                              this could have been almost perfect but poco had to remove the micro sd slot to force you to buy more storage, just why?

You know these phones are POS and everyone else knows it too. Here on GSMarena X3 Pro has 1060 "fans* X4 Pro has 286 fans, X5 Pro has 55 so far and probably won't break 100.

                                Phones are 99% garbage these days. And the sales reflect that too. Falling sales allover the world

                                  MIUI global is a huge disappointment. Its look outdated compared to others manufacturers.

                                    IpsDisplay, 06 Feb 2023Hmm so the GPU on the 778 is better than the dimensity 1080... moreThe X5 Pro is Android 13. Only the X5 is Android 12, which coincidentally also for the Realme 10.
