Expected Specs & Features
The smartphone will come with a 6.58-inch IPS LCD that offers Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Regrettably, Poco has kept most of the key specs under wraps. Nevertheless, past leaks suggest that the Poco M5 will draw its juices from a 5000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. Also, the phone will reportedly feature a 50MP primary sensor on the back. According to 91mobiles, the M5 will be available in Black, Green, and Yellow color options.
The phone will reportedly carry a starting price of EUR 189 (about INR 15,000). For this price, you will get the 4GB RAM+64GB storage model. Alternatively, you can go for a 4GB RAM+128GB storage variant if you are willing to shell out EUR 209 (about INR 16,600). Notably, the camera setup of the M5s is very similar to the camera module design of the Redmi Note 10S. The handset has four cameras on the back.
The word on the street is that the M5s will come with a 64MP main camera. Also, it is likely to get an 8MP ultrawide and two 2MP sensors on the back. The phone will come in White, Blue, and Black colors. It will reportedly sport a 6.43-inch AMOLED display that delivers a Full HD+ resolution. Furthermore, the phone could get a MediaTek Helio G95 SoC, and a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
Likewise, some reports claim that the M5s will run Android 12 OS with MIUI 13 on top. The handset will be available in 4GB RAM+64GB storage and 4GB RAM+128GB storage models in Europe. These storage options will set you back EUR 229 (about INR 18,200) and EUR 249 (about INR 19,800), respectively.
