The Poco X5 Pro has received a big discount on Flipkart. The 5G phone was launched in India with a starting price of Rs 22,999 and the price has now dropped to Rs 19,999. This basically means that the Poco X5 Pro buyers are getting a total discount of Rs 3,000. It is currently unknown when this offer will expire, but the device is available at an attractive price for consumers. Here are 4 reasons to buy the Poco X5 Pro and 2 to avoid it.

Poco X5 pro: 4 reasons to buy it?

-The Poco X5 Pro has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, which is very good for the price. The colours really pop out and the screen also has sufficient peak brightness to check out the content in harsh sunlight. The panel operates at Full HD+ resolution. There is also a coating of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the front of the Poco phone. The device has support for dynamic 120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision.

-The device uses the Snapdragon 778G processor, which can deliver fast performance to smartphone users. It is worth pointing out that no brand is offering this chipset under Rs 20,000 and one will mostly see it in devices that are priced between Rs 25,000 to 40,000. Gaming is not one of its strongest suits, but people can rely on it to get a decent overall performance. The heavy titles like Genshin Impact are playable on this 5G phone if people play them at low settings and there won’t be lag or stutter.

-With a 5,000mAh battery unit, the battery life is also good enough and I had to charge the phone only once a day because of basic usage, involving calling, messaging, and binge-watching. The company also ships a 67W fast charger in the retail box, which can offer 50 percent charge in about 15 minutes of time.

-The smartphone can also take decent photos for your Instagram. There is a triple camera setup at the back and it includes a 108-megapixel primary camera. It is accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. You can shoot 4K videos too.

Poco X5 Pro: 2 reasons to skip

-The Poco X5 Pro comes with a significant amount of bloatware, including pre-installed apps that can be removed, but some native Xiaomi apps are non-removable. For those who prefer a clean user interface, MIUI might be a source of irritation. This mid-range phone not only comes with a surplus of apps but also has a few bothersome features. During our testing, we received spammy notifications from unused apps, and when launching the app drawer, an additional window with some apps suddenly appeared.

-Furthermore, the Poco X5 Pro operates on the older Android 12 OS, limiting it to just two years of Android upgrades. This basically means that Poco X5 Pro users will only be able to access Android 14 OS. After the launch, the device was updated to Android 13.
