The smartphone will have 12GB RAM and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 and it can be the base model or the Redmi Note 12 Turbo’s global equivalent, which is exclusively offered in China. If so, we can anticipate that it will likely include comparable hardware, including a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, a 64MP primary camera, a 5000mAh battery with 67W fast charging, and Android 13 with the MIUI 14 overlay on top.
POCO India released a marketing video about the incoming launch of the POCO F5 series.
On the other hand, the POCO F5 will also come in a Pro version. This smartphone will use a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and 12GB of RAM, according to a Geekbench listing which is shown below:
Additionally, the Geekbench listing indicated that it would need 256GB of storage and would likely run MIUI 14 in addition to Android 13 out of the box.
MySmartPrice made a suggestion that the POCO F5 may be the Redmi K60 series under a different name. While rumors claim that the Pro model will likely include a 5,500mAh battery with a 67W adapter, a 64MP primary camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro assistant.
Remember that the majority of them are simply leaks, so you should treat them with caution. The launch date, which will once again be on May 9, 2023, is something that can be relied upon. It will be an online launch event, POCO has announced, and that is a few weeks away.
