In my observation, POCO X5 Pro 5G is using the Flat Edge Rear Panel which is similar to the iPhone. The rear panel slightly looks like sandpaper which gives you the matte feel when you touch it and it does not capture any fingerprint. Besides that, POCO X5 Pro 5G is a lot lighter compared to the previous generation where you feel like you aren’t holding the phone in your hand. 

POCO X5 Pro 5G equipped with 120Hz AMOLED DotDisplay and Dolby Atmos stereo speakers which is similar to the previous generation, but POCO X5 Pro 5G supported Dolby Vision. This allows you to enjoy your favorite drama or movie title in POCO X5 Pro 5G like in the cinema. 

Similar to the previous generation, POCO X5 Pro 5G consists of a 108MP Camera, IR Blaster, 3.5mm Headphone Jack, and also the big battery of 5,000mAh with 67W Turbo Charging. POCO X5 Pro 5G is definitely made for you if you are looking for an affordable smartphone that packs with awesome specifications in every aspect.
