The Poco F5 5G is expected to launch in India soon. The device is said to make its debut in China as the Redmi K60 first and is expected to hit the Indian market after that. Its predecessor – Poco F4 – offered mid-range specs, and it seems the brand now has plans to launch a device with top-notch features that you normally get on premium handsets.

A report from Xiaomiui claims that the upcoming Poco F5 smartphone will come with a 2K AMOLED display, which will be a first for the company. The screen is also expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and gaming. The screen has a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, which may not be enough in bright sunlight.

In addition, the Poco F5 5G is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which currently powers most flagship phones. Its predecessor was launched with Snapdragon 870 SoC in a price range of Rs 30,000. With more advanced specs, the price of the new Poco phone is likely to be higher.

The rest of the details are unknown at this time. The device is expected to have a typical design on the front. There could be a perforated display design. The company is also expected to support fast charging and a large battery under the hood.

When will the Poco F5 5G phone be launched in India?

The Poco F5 5G is likely to be announced in other regions once it is unveiled in China. The company is not expected to launch this Poco phone in India in 2022 as the brand unveiled its Poco F4 in June of this year. It could arrive early next year.

The Indian variant of this Poco phone has reportedly been spotted in the IMEI database, suggesting that the upcoming phone will arrive in January next year. It is important to note that Poco has not yet confirmed the existence of the Poco F5 5G phone so users are advised to take the details with a grain of salt.
