The manufacturer POCO has decided to launch two mobile devices on September 5 oriented to the mid-range and adjusting the launch price of both. One of the two models is the POCO M5, a smartphone with optimal performance and that will shine thanks to the included chip, the MediaTek Helio G99.
It promises optimal performance, both for the processor and for its components, confirmed definitively before its appearance. The phone will also provide a high refresh rate and little seen in phones of this range, which will make you take it into account when looking for a device of this range.
POCO M5 bets on an AMOLED panel of great dynamic range, to that it adds a touch sampling frequency of up to three higher than the rate it has. If your screen shines, so will another aspect, such as speeding up the CPU when playing titles that require extra power.
Helio G99 as processor
The bet of the POCO M5 is to include the powerful Helio G99 chip, a processor created in 6 nanometers and in this case is committed to 4G connectivity. MediaTek was confident that this gamble would pay off because it gets high performance with tasks including gaming when entering "Gaming" CPUs.
This processor makes performance look optimized on less demanding tasks, while having Game Turbo 5.0, which can make the processor run at full speed with just one click in your application. It does not overheat, it also promises a good performance between CPU and screen, moving video games of the stature of FreeFire and PUBG Mobile, two titles that require medium-high performance on Android.
It is not far behind when it comes to rendering some low-power chips built with 5G, so it is considered a commitment to performance and optimization. The GPU that accompanies Helio G99 is Mali-G57 MC2, a graphics card designed to perform thanks to its 950 MHz.
Other components apart from the aforementioned Helio G99 processor become 6 GB of RAM, it is of the LPDDR4X type at a good speed, in addition the storage is 128 GB of the UFS 2.2 type. The space can be expanded by having an extra storage slot, with an extra capacity in case you fall short.
A panel with a refresh rate of 90 Hz
The bet of the POCO M5 is the inclusion of a high-response panel, specifically, it has been decided on a 90 Hz screen, surpassing the input range seen so far. But it is not the only thing that this model will have, oriented to the entry range at its launch.
This 6,5-inch screen is a high-quality AMOLED, which will make it possible to work with it throughout the sessions, whether it is to use applications, play games, and many other things. This panel also has a Full HD + resolution (2.400 x 1.080 pixels), suitable if you want to watch videos in high resolution, in addition to streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video, etc.
The phone also comes with DynamicSwitch display technology, to offer a unique experience when viewing content, playing top titles and more. Adds a touch sampling rate of up to 240 Hz, switchable in Android games and videos that require more power.
Unlike the POCO M4, this device promises higher performance, both when using apps with its processor and the panel offers a great improvement when it comes to viewing any content we want. The 90 Hz refresh rate makes everything played look smoother.
A high-capacity, fast-charging battery
The POCO M5 adds a 5.000 mAh battery, promising autonomy for the whole day if you use it for regular use, while it will last more than 8 hours playing titles from the Play Store. The phone adds the aforementioned Game Turbo 5.0, which will give it a further boost with hardly any noticeable battery performance.
The good thing about the device is that it will arrive with an important fast charge, specifically it will be 18W.
Great connectivity and Android 12 as the operating system
POCO M5 hits the market with high connectivity, point to note is that it will use the 4G connection for connections to mobile data. The phone also incorporates WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS and other connections such as the USB-C connection, ideal even if you want to use OTG.
The POCO interface is the one we will see on the Android 12 operating system, arriving with the latest updates, so it is important to install the following ones in the next three years, which are the ones it will have.
