you love mid-rangers and I love talking about them and this one looks mid-rangey as heck it's the Poco X5 Pro 5G which is what we've been waiting for on Poco phones and they finally listened we have this nice the standard kind of black and yellow text that Poco loves and honestly I love and who is it Wiz Khalifa loves you like jazz nothing too crazy about the Box just says Poco X5 Pro all over the place and what we have for specs on the back but I like to be surprised well I guess not too surprised because I looked spoiler alert we have the the Poco oh someone's definitely been here because it's got fingerprints all over it two million Subs no respect we've got the Sim popper we've got our handy dandy case feels like the included case with a Poco phone and what else we got in here oh okay we'll come back we'll come back to this guy in here we got our 67 watt Euro charger and the orange USB a to c for that fast charging and then we have our meter long a to c cable again with those nice colored orange tips and that's it we're already onto the phone no frills here in the box but oh I gotta say I really like this yellow I'm actually not a huge fan of the color yellow but this is like a frosted glass yellow so it might look like it's kind of the reflection that's making it that pale but no it's just like a a nice frosted yellow it's got some goo on it but that's fine what's a little goo we got our branding here for 5G and all of the safety things and of course that big old Poco logo and this looks like it's part of the camera bump but it's not it's just flat flush colored plastic it is a plastic frame and a plastic back with a glass front which is fine I think it actually feels pretty nice in the hand and we have our cameras on the back here but before we get too far into that let's take a look at what we have on this phone so we have our volume rockers here oh good sounding buttons and the yellow power button slash fingerprint scanner I can't get over those buttons and that sounds great on the top we got our well we got my favorite the IR Blaster the Michael one of our dual speakers and the headphone jack because again this phone's under a thousand dollars so it has all the features you want on the left side here we got absolutely nothing just that nice Rail and on the bottom we have our SIM tray Michael USBC and speaker and I'm just going to open it up here as I know it's a dual SIM phone but I want to see if it has uh expansion does this get rid of the SD card slot or does it keep it drum roll ooh just dual Nano so they got rid of the headphone expansion even compared to the m5s which we've covered previously a little disappointing I mean again one of those weird things where these mid-range phones seem to have features like that but I guess lacking an SD card slot is a feature that's now falling down from the flagships into the mid-range but I hope this isn't something that kind of sticks around on the front here we have our 6.67 inch full HD Plus AMOLED display and it's 120 hertz it is really nice to have that high speed from when you're scrolling through feeds or even just your settings on your phone and it doesn't look so choppy so really glad to see it here and it's Gorilla Glass 5 on the front so again not the newest hottest Gorilla Glass but pretty good I don't know what it is about this aspect ratio if it's just the rails and how flat it is but it doesn't feel like it fits great in my hands and yet this one kind of noticeably stands out as like not feeling great and as you can see I can't reach all the edges super comfortably which isn't ideal but if you have bigger hands maybe you won't notice or if you consistently two-hand your phone whatever it is obviously good for media to have a larger size phone as for thickness only 7.9 millimeters thick which we've deemed I don't know what millimeters are but it's thin and again the camera bump is not too big especially when we have a whopping 108 megapixel main cam that's nuts it's too much we also have the 8 megapixel Ultra wide and 2 megapixel macro which you're going to use all the time I can tell this is the year you do macro photography at two megapixels plenty but otherwise that's about it it's a very minimal phone just like a slat with bright yellow coloring so I guess all that's left is to turn it on but first let me tell you about our sponsor flowplane what that's us have you ever watched a ShortCircuit video or LTT and wondered how do they do that well Floatplane's a place for you it's where we upload exclusive Vlogs behind the scenes and funny memes it's a good time let's take a look all right we got Flo plan up here where we put all of our videos across all of our channels as well as exclusive so you can easily just type in what you're looking for exclusives to see everything or we're going to type in Vlog because that's where my specialty comes in as we can see here we got quite a few different Vlogs we made and I mean let's just randomly select a few like maybe the Paris Avenue launch or the great Sony fw900 CRT road trip or behind the scenes at nanosis where James you were there over Nana says yes that was a great time these ones are great and I'm not biased because I shot and edited them but hey they're great times we can see some of the behind the scenes of what we've done when we go to all these different places or how it actually works to make a video I think the nanosis Vlog is really good for that where you can see James actually writing talking the different analysis employees and then shooting the video it's really cool to see how we do it and hopefully get is a little bit of insight into what it's like to work for what a multinational corporation so if you want to see more from us and how we work make sure to subscribe to Floatplane for just five or ten bucks a month at LMG.gg SC Floatplane all right well the phone was dead so it's plugged into the charger now we can test out that fast charging because I actually don't have an advertised charge time with their their fast charger we're not using it so we'll never know but it is a 5 000 milliamp hour battery which is a pretty good size especially for again a mid-ranger phone they do advertise some interesting battery lengths so first for call time they advertise 28 hours so plenty for you and your significant other to chat on the phone literally all day they also advertise 20 hours of video playback so you can binge watch Malcolm in the Middle again all day and then finally they offer 21 hours of reading time which is not a spec I've really ever heard of but go nuts with your ebook as for brightness it does get pretty dim so if you like to use your phone at night or while you're in bed you won't have your eyes absolutely searing but the max brightness isn't fantastic so it's only 500 nit to the max of 900 Peak brightness which isn't going to be great for outdoor use like obviously it will be usable but again be aware if you're coming from a higher end Flagship those are hitting up to like 2 000 nits so it's gonna be quite a big difference but you will be able to survive with something like this now this does have the fingerprint scanner built into the power button so let's give that a try make sure it's not completely awful all right this seems a bit excessive this is this is taking on a minute all right this better work well and it's asking if you want to add face it does have the AI Face Unlock as well but again I'm not a huge fan of that yeah not bad goes right in that means a fingerprint scanner it works I don't think I mentioned this is MIUI 14 built on Android 12. and there is a ton of bloatware AliExpress Bubble Shooter crazy juicer dust settle there's a ton of stuff that just comes default on these that again I am not a fan of you have to go through and delete them manually always a bummer some of the ways that these phones stay cheap is actually by selling the space on these phones that they come pre-loaded with these certain apps so that's why I'm keeping the price down I guess that's fine all right let's take a look at the screen and speakers by doing some crab raving oh it sounds okay definitely not the best sounding fun I've ever heard but I think it's not anything awful it's more apparent that the sound is louder on the left side instead of that dual speaker on this right side but when you hold it up to your ear there is some separation but it doesn't feel wide if you're really hoping for Dolby Atmos an affordable phone I don't think you're gonna really have that expectation here as for the screen it looks good nothing to really complain about here everything's crisp it is a you know full HD Plus screen it's not gonna be extremely sharp but it does look pretty good what is noticeable though is that camera bump wobble it's on quite a bit of an angle and Wobbles around quite a bit not great but also not really avoidable with any phone unless you have the pixel 7 which is not gonna rock but it's going to be on a definite angle there all right let's take a look at these cameras and see if that 108 megapixel camera kicks everything else to the curb we got our friendly faces over here James doing work we have our Ultra wide now it does show a zoom button but do know it is just cropping in on that 108 megapixel camera so it's nothing too too wild there and we got to try out our macro mode all right we have our model here let's see how that macro camera does I'm assuming it's just going to automatically switch to it here Maybe wow there's a lot of bokeh there all right you know what for a a two megapixel photo it doesn't look bad it's definitely noisy but the bokeh looks really good in the depth of field it's pretty solid definitely not bad I don't know how often you'll use a macro camera especially enough to have its own dedicated lens a lot of them will use the ultra wide lens just as a macro but obviously it's kind of nice to have for the other shots here the 2x Zoom does look good you do lose a little bit of clarity because again it's just punching into that regular 108 megapixel sensor but I don't think it looks bad at all all right this is the ultrawide and it's got an interesting look it's almost like film which I don't think it should be for eight megapixels but the colors are just really kind of deep there's a lot you lose a lot of detail between James's blue shirt and his green pants that look Brown it's very odd and when you zoom in his hands have lost all sort of quality and it just looks bit crushed which is very odd onto the main camera it's still not fantastic as you can see if we zoom in on his hands here James's hands again are pretty crushed like they they it doesn't look like there's enough pixels even though that 108 megapixel sensor is binning down to a 12 megapixel photo so it's taking nine pixels making one big pixel to hopefully give you better night shots but we can take a photo in the Pro mode that will be just the straight 108 megapixel mode so let's try that wow One Fine Young gentleman let's take a look at that photo so with this 108 one it seems to be affected by our studio lighting a bit more but it does look a bit sharper again not a great photo I don't know if it's like an AI trying to smooth or beautify or sharpen but it doesn't seem to be doing quite great James does a look a little bit like a painting So something to be aware of even though on paper does have some impressive specs it might not actually translate to what you're going to be taking in your day-to-day life selfie time I love taking selfies I'm a millennial guy it's the Millennials known for selfies I don't know but I'm taking one looks like we got our our little stars highlighted here so there's definitely some filters on original there's me in all my glory selfies look good I look sharp I'm glad there's just an original mode again we have seen it before where you just have to turn everything down by itself which I was not a fan of so Poco has changed their ways amazing video again here I'm connected to a cable I'm gonna have to unplug now again adjustments bright studio lights they're leaving it blown out to keep me fairly exposed which is I think the the better way to do things my skin color looks accurate even with James's very red jacket we can see all the colors uh do look pretty lifelike which is great to see two red two red there's no such thing the video looks good I don't think it sounds good though so if you do want to use this as a sort of vloggy phone I actually do think it could be viable like it does look quite sharp steady everything like that it does film at 1080p 60 on the front camera so pretty solid but that mic is pretty darn tinny but maybe the main camera is better here we are taking a video there he is there's James I'm Jocelyn this doesn't have any sort of optical image stabilization but maybe it still looks good we're zooming what was he swallowing that wow it goes 6X does it go all the way out to 1x cool okay so this is really weird I was going to talk about the video quality but there's a related videos bar at the bottom and these are not videos on the phone and guessing it's like Billy Billy or some other YouTube knockoff really weird to have in your gallery I guess that's a thing uh as for the actual video quality it looked really good the stabilization looks like there's ois built in but they don't say there's any sort of spec and the mic is still not great so again be aware if you're going to use it video very very viable on this but you'd want another audio solution but that's not why you bought this phone right you bought this phone because you are a gamer so let's try gaming we gotta talk about what's in this thing it's got the Snapdragon 778g which is a pretty strong mid-range performer which will handle most anything you throw at it and then gentian or you know Cod mobile any of those more intense games will probably be able to handle medium to high depending on how sensitive you are to that 60 FPS but if it's something more basic or you find with low settings you should be able to hit 60 easily or over 60 since this screen supports it if the game does so we're in the settings for gention impacts visuals I put into medium and it warned me that this phone probably can't handle it it's going to go into overclocked mode which is very hardcore if you do it on low it says it'll be smooth but I would like to try medium I feel like it should be able to handle that and maybe part of it's because it's not fully charged but I've Got Confidence yeah it's a little choppy so far but maybe it just needs to load for a second I gotta say even a medium this game looks pretty good and now it is running a bit smoother but as you walk into different areas it is choppy like this is not a smooth 60. be aware again this is a mid-range phone so maybe put your expectations in like the mid-range you know is it does that make sense medium medium it's got great specs on paper for the camera it's got great specs on paper for the soc it's got ip53 water resistance it doesn't have wireless charging but it does have 5G and an IR blaster it costs 295 US dollars I do think the price is starting to creep up a little bit there like 300 US dollars for this it really depends on your use case if you're someone who's playing gentian impact maybe get something different if you're somebody who takes a lot of photos maybe look into something different but if you want a general all-around phone that's going to be decent at everything and just that the odd time that you want to play games you can and you know when you're out with friends you just want to be able to take a quick photo or a video at a concert I think this will do fine but I do feel this budget range is starting to get pretty darn competitive as we'll start to see with some of the devices coming up for mwc and into this new year so if you're in for a phone right now and you really need something that's going to do you well this might be it but this isn't a review I'm not telling you what to do do not say this is review this is something I've only been using for the last hour so this phone might not be enticing for very long thanks so much for watching this has been ShortCircuit
