It scores up to 535000 on AnTuTu v9 and has a fingerprint side scanner for security. The triple camera setup includes a main Samsung S5KHM2 108.0MP f/1.9 lens; an ultra-wide Samsung S5K4H7 8.0MP f/2.2 lens; and a macro Omnivision OV02B10 2.0 MP f/2.4 lens.

The POCO X5 Pro 5G is a great mid-range smartphone that offers a lot of features for the price. Its strengths include its battery, design and its smooth 120 Hz screen refresh rate. However, it lacks water and dust protection, a Telephoto lens, and a camera stabilization feature.
