DESIGN

The M5s features a square camera module in the upper-left corner instead of the M5, which has a large camera bar that runs the length of the phone’s back horizontally. Additionally, the phone features unique finishes. The M5s have a smooth metallic rear and come in grey, white, and blue variations. On/off and volume controls are located on the side of the device. A USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack are at the bottom. In addition, the phone has a built-in fingerprint sensor for those who prefer it over face unlock, and it is water resistant up to IP53.

DISPLAY

A punch-hole camera is located in the centre of the 6.43-inch AMOLED display on the front, which has a resolution of 2400 x 1800. The screen is clear and feels,s vibrant to look at. Thanks to AMOLED technology, there is a reasonable degree of contrast, and colours appear realistic and dynamic. Additionally, an always-on display option can be accessed from the phone’s settings but is turned off by default.

PLATFORM AND MEMORY

The MediaTek Helio G95 processor within the M5s gives the phone its performance. The Mali-G57 GPU is part of the octa-core G95 gaming CPU. The M5s  phones perform very well as you would expect them to in all conditions you have the phone t pass through. The phone has three RAM and storage configurations: 4GB/128GB, 6GB/128GB, and 4GB/64 GB. The capacity can be expanded to 1TB.

The Poco M5s runs MIUI 13 for Poco as far as software is concerned. Xiaomi created this UI, which is based on Android 12. Until you open the Themes app, the UI doesn’t look all that different from the stock Android you see on Pixel phones. Here, you may choose from a vast selection of themes, wallpaper, fonts, and ringtones to change the appearance and feel of your phone.

A quad-camera system with a large 64-megapixel sensor and an f/1.8 aperture is included with the Poco M5s. A second 2-megapixel (f/2.4) depth camera and an 8-megapixel (f/2.2) ultra-wide angle lens with a 118-degree field of view are also included. The results from the primary sensor, both with and without the 64-megapixel option turned on, are genuinely pleasant. The rear sensor produces clear, bright images rich in detail and has a respectable level of depth. The 13-megapixel (f/2.4) punch-hole camera on the back of the phone supports portrait mode, timed bursts, and an AI beautification option.

The M5s can record video at up to 4K resolution at 30 or 1080p at 60 frames per second. If you wish to record slow-motion video, you must downscale to 720p for frame rates of up to 960fps. You’ll also discover a macro video mode, a short video option, and a time-lapse setting in addition to the slo-mo mode.
