In my observation, POCO X5 Pro 5G did a great job in the overall gameplay experience as the gameplay is smooth in most of the famous mobile games. The highest temperature that POCO X5 Pro 5G achieved within an hour of gameplay is around 42°C, and the battery usage is about 14% to 17%. In my opinion, POCO X5 Pro 5G did a great job in temperature control and battery consumption for the mid-range flagship smartphone segment.
