In my opinion, photos and videos taken with POCO X5 5G during daylight can be accepted. Besides that, the photo that was taken with POCO X5 5G seems to zoom in a little bit. For the night photo, it's best to take with Night Mode as there are a lot of noises in photos that were taken with Normal Photo Mode. Hopefully the camera application will be improved in the upcoming updates.
