Poco has apparently teased the Poco X5 series launch on Flipkart, but the microsite seems to have been taken down at the time of writing this article. The teaser screenshots that were quickly captured before this, ask, “Are you ready to unleash your rebel?” It’s the use of 5 Xs in this teaser that insinuates the impending launch of the Poco X5 series in the country.
The Poco X5 series could consist of Poco X5 and Poco X5 Pro for the Indian market. They have been allegedly spotted on various certification sites with the 22111317P and 22101320 model numbers respectively. Also, the rumour has it the two phones could be rebadged Redmi Note 12 5G and Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition respectively with some changes here and there.
For starters, the Poco X5 could be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset while the Redmi Note 12 has got a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC. The rest of the specifications could be comparable to the vanilla variant of the Note 12 series.
However, in the case of the Poco X5 Pro, the same Snapdragon 778G chip inside the Redmi Note 12 Speed Edition could be expected.
Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition
Based on Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed Edition specifications, the Poco X5 could feature a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display with a centred punch-hole. Within the cutout, you could have a 16MP camera for selfies and video calls.
On the rear side, there could be a 108MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide snapper, and a 2MP macro shooter.
Under the hood, as already mentioned, you could expect a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset, up to 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a 5000mAh battery supported by a 67W fast charger.
Among other things, the phone could come equipped with Dolby Atmos-backed stereo speakers, Android 13-based MIUI 14, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, etc.
