POCO X5 Pro 5G Design Review
The outer body of this smartphone still adopts the concept of a contemporary flagship phone design, appearing flat with firm and rigid body edges. Even so, POCO has designed the X5 Pro 5G quite nicely.
The back of this smartphone has a rough texture and makes it non-slippery. There is also an area with a glass-like layer, which presents a mirror effect in the form of a box. Its location is integrated with the camera module which has three “boba” plus LED flash.
In our opinion, this combination of designs is a plus that should be considered by consumers who want to have it. In addition, the POCO X5 Pro 5G itself comes with several trendy color choices such as Black, Blue and Yellow.
Interestingly, the POCO X5 Pro 5G has quite compact dimensions, is thin with a very light weight. In fact, with body dimensions of 162.91×76.03×7.9mm and a weight of 181 grams, this smartphone is claimed to be the lightest of the X Series family.
Although thin, in fact this smartphone is able to accommodate quite complete connection facilities. Starting from dual SIM, dual speakers, IR Blaster, NFC 8, Side Fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack and of course a large capacity battery.
In this sector, POCO presents a new breakthrough by embedding the newest type of screen for a smartphone, namely Flow AMOLED. And makes the POCO X5 Pro 5G the first smartphone with this best screen, including in the entire POCO X Series family.
In addition to being able to display high-quality images, the use of this Flow AMOLED screen also makes its body thinner and lighter.
In addition, this smartphone also has an ultra-thin bezel with a thickness of only 2.9mm which makes the overall screen display wider.
The latest POCO X5 Pro 5G screen technology is also predicted to increase drop resistance from a distance of 1 meter to 90%.
Based on technical data, the quality of the screen displayed is also clearly flagship quality with DCI-P3 wide color gamut, 10bit which produces 1 billion colors, HDR 10+, and Dolby Vision technology.
With support for a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, image transitions are very fast and smooth, and remain comfortable on the eyes thanks to the flagship eyecare experience with 1920Hz PWM dimming.
