I can't laugh when I remember these phones are supposed to be successors to the X3 Pro, ufs 2.2 seriously?

    Does this phone have Magnetic Compass?

      Saji7, 06 Feb 2023Disappointing. They should focus on something like gaming, ... morelul agree. i always thought that poco supposed to be price-to-performance conscious line, mi/xiaomi for flagship line, and redmi for low-mid range casual stuff. but nowadays they're getting closer, and xiaomi rebadging redmi stuffs for poco didn't help making it more similiar

        How about stop using pieces from 2017, 2016 or 2014? We are in 2023 already.

        Brands need to stop with these "macro" cameras that do not do macro. Macro is not about background blur when phone is close to subject.

        As someone whose phone has 8MP super wide, can tell you is too useless. Not even editing dng files can make photos usable.

                Disappointing. They should focus on something like gaming, or photography. But this is all rounder disappointing for 2023.all company should stop this 2mp lens, it's annoying and useless. Even wide lens can be done with panorama.add ois and laser af + telephoto lens. Having 120hz screen when gpu can't handle 120 fps game is useless. This phone isn't so much different with 2 years old phone.at least be good in one thing is better to be normal in everything.

                        Poco x5 it's better with micro SD card,
                        No SD card = no thanks.

                          good all rounder phone, screen is like a flagship. Very thin bezel, 10-bit support, 1B colors, HDR10 and Dolby vision where can you get this on others €320 phone?

Also, a fully comparable Samsung A-series is usually $50-$100 more. That's not a small amount.

                            There's already the Redmi K50i/Poco X4 GT with Dimensity 8100. You want OIS, 12MP Ultrawides, 5MP Macros, Micro SD, Dimensity 8100s for $300? Aren't you some optimist!

                              Android 12 with miui 14 ehich don't have features like in China, so its basically android 12 miui 13.

                                Hmm so the GPU on the 778 is better than the dimensity 1080?

                                I still think the realme 10 pro+ is a better smartphone than the x5pro

                                Not only has it's price dropped but is on android 13

                                And have way better energy efficiency/battery life

                                    No microsd no buy!

                                      You can try and sugar coat this all you want, but this is a massive disappointment. The 778G would've been impressive 18 months ago but it's a nearly 2 years old chip now. They should've used the 7gen 1 or Dimensity 8100. And then there's the removed micro SD support which is a terrible decision, the crappy cameras with no OIS for the main and only 8mp + 2mp for the others and again only Ip53 when Samsung is offering A series with OIS for main, 12mp for UW and 5mp for UW
