POCO F5 Pro “Ignite Your Hyperpower” - Gaming Experience Review

Hello and Greetings to All Beloved POCO Lovers, 

POCO F5 Pro is equipped with the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 that is built in TSMC 4nm manufacturing process compared to the previous generation. Today, I would like to try out the gaming performance on POCO F5 Pro. Before we get started, let’s have a quick recap on the characteristics of Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1. 

Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1

• TSMC 4nm Manufacturing Process
• CPU: Octa-core CPU, up to 3.0GHz
• GPU: Qualcomm® Adreno™ GPU

Before that, I had run a few benchmark tests in AnTuTu Benchmark and Geekbench 5 to test the performance for POCO F5 Pro. I will share the result screenshots in the following.

The gameplay in most of the famous mobile online games with POCO F5 Pro is smooth, but the temperature will increase rapidly between 45°C to 48°C for the first 15 minutes, and will maintain the temperature or slowly increase to a maximum of 48°C. Besides that, the fps during the gameplay is able to maintain between 57 fps to 60 fps thanks to FEAS 2.2, HyperBoost Optimization and the 5,000mm² large Vapor Chamber in POCO F5 Pro. By the way, the high temperature might cause your finger to feel uneasy or feel the heat when you’re touching the screen, it’s recommended for you to reduce the graphics quality or frame rate in the game settings, or use the cooling fans.
