Overall rating and the reviews that impact it
Pros
Performance
The standard F5 runs on a brand new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset.

Phone Appearance
Add in a relatively refined design, and it’s a clear improvement over the Poco F4.
[trustedreviews]
Display
The Poco F5 is another strong mid-range phone, with excellent performance for the money and a very good AMOLED display.
[trustedreviews]
The Poco F5’s 6.67-inch OLED display is big, bright enough, and colour-accurate – perfect for watching video content.
[trustedreviews]
Battery
With fast charging capabilities, the Poco F5 can go from flat to 47% in just 15 minutes.
[trustedreviews]
Price
The handset offers a few notable upgrades over its predecessor while maintaining the same price point.
[gsmarena]
It's a great choice if you are looking for a capable midranger with some upper-tier features on the side.

Storage
Coupled with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the Poco F5 runs advanced games almost as well as a flagship phone – but for half the price.

Cons
Camera
However, a stagnant camera system, the ever-unlovable MIUI 14, and an unwelcome price bump temper some of those encouraging elements.
[trustedreviews]
Camera remains so-so.
[trustedreviews]
Price
More expensive than before.
[trustedreviews]
While the Poco F5 is even more value-focused than the Poco F5 Pro, though, it still costs £449.
[trustedreviews]
Not only is that an £80 bump over the Poco F4, it’s also exactly the same price as the Google Pixel 7a and the Samsung Galaxy A54.
[trustedreviews]
Software
MIUI 14 is still hard work.
