Xiaomi has launched two of its cheapest Poco phones of 2022. The Poco M5 and M5s have recently gone on sale in a few European markets as well as in India.
Over the following months, Pakistan is expected to receive the two low-cost phones.
The 6.58-inch IPS LCD screen on the Poco M5 boasts a 1080p resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate for fast input.
It has the typical Poco design cues, along with a large primary camera island that touches the phone’s corners and the popular Poco Yellow colour option. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor is placed.

Because the Poco M5s is really a rebranded Redmi Note 10S, it resembles the Redmi Note 10 series of smartphones more.
The 6.43-inch 1080p AMOLED display on this phone just offers a regular 60Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it lacks the eye-catching Pocophone colour choices.
Storage and Internals
The M5, for some reason, has the more modern Helio G99 SoC, the first of its type to be built using a TSMC 6 nm production process. Both smartphones are powered by MediaTek chipsets.
On the other hand, the Helio G95 SoC, which has been around for two years, is what the M5s utilizes. On both phones, you may choose between 128 GB and 256 GB of storage and 4 to 6 GB of RAM.
Both phones will start with Android 12 and MIUI 13 loaded.
Cameras
The Poco M5 has three cameras on the rear, while the M5s has four. The M5 has a 50MP primary camera and two 2MP secondary cameras, whereas the M5s has a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and the same pair of 2MP secondary cameras.
The Poco M5 has a 5MP selfie camera, while the M5s has a 13MP sensor with a better resolution.
