Popular Xiaomi aims at Gen Z with two distinct smartphones. The flagship X5 Pro 5G enhances camera capabilities, speeds up processing, and delivers a striking display. The Poco X5 5G stands out as a solid mid range option with a sharp screen, reliable performance, and long-lasting battery life.
Poco Global’s marketing lead Angus Ng describes the X5 Pro 5G as the top choice in the €300 segment for creators looking to elevate their work, and notes the X5 5G offers an excellent user experience under €400 thanks to its display and performance advantages.

Enhancing the X series, the X5 Pro 5G debuts a 6.67 inch Flow AMOLED display. This flexible panel makes it the lightest and thinnest X-Series member at 7.9 millimeters, providing a comfortable grip for gaming or creative tasks. The 120Hz refresh rate keeps visuals crisp, while 100% DCI-P3 and 10-bit color bring photos and videos to life. Dolby Vision adds to the immersive viewing experience.
Eye comfort is guarded through 1920Hz PWM dimming for reading and composing in low light. Power and responsiveness come from the 778G 5G chipset built on a 6nm process, delivering strong performance with an AnTuTu score well over 545,000, and a balance of efficiency and capability with the Snapdragon 778G 5G platform. Camera speed and overall performance improve across settings, photography, and night modes. The Image Signal Processor reaches 2 gigapixels per second, enabling smart, AI-assisted photography up to 12 TOPS.
The 108 MP sensor captures fine detail and color accuracy even in dim environments, supports 4K video, and includes modes that simplify vlogging for creators on the go.
A 5000 mAh battery powers over 5.5 hours of 4K recording, making it a reliable tool for video creators who travel. A 67W turbo charger can reach a 30 percent charge in about seven minutes.
