Poco F5 Pro
The Poco F5 Pro delivers beautiful visual experiences and is therefore very suitable for gaming or watching movies. The very bright WQHD+ 120Hz AMOLED screen has 1400 nits (peak brightness) and 68 billion true-to-life colors (1). Images look almost twice as bright as an FHD+ screen and the screen reveals more details. In addition, the self-developed super touch makes gaming more stable and accurate, ultimately increasing the chances of winning.
Thanks to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the Poco F5 Pro works with low power consumption, but maintains its high performance. The device features LiquidCool technology 2.0 with a highly efficient vapor chamber and the intelligent frame stabilization technology FEAS 2.2. The advanced technology improves performance by efficiently dissipating heat, which also helps extend battery and device life.
