Poco launched the M5 yesterday in India, but the company also released Poco M5s for the global market. This is yet another mid-range smartphone powered by an Helio G95 processor. So, let's take a look at the Poco M5s specs, features, availability, and expected price in Nepal.
The display is a 6.43-inch AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and has a peak brightness of 1100 nits. You also get Widevine L1 certification to watch Netflix content. Unfortunately, there is no higher refresh rate available here. Similarly, a fingerprint scanner for biometrics is located on the phone's side.
In terms of cameras, the 64MP primary sensor is paired with an 8MP ultrawide and a couple of 2MP macro and depth sensors. This setup can record at up to 4K@30fps resolution. Similarly, there is a 13MP selfie camera on the front.
Poco M5s Overview:
Design, Display
Unlike the M5, which has a leather-textured back, the Poco M5s has a plain back panel. Its camera module is also visually similar to the Redmi Note 10 series. It’s because it is a rebranded Redmi Note 10S. As a result, the feature set is quite similar here.- Also Read:
