The Poco M5s offers a 6.43” AMOLED screen, but it only refreshes at 60Hz. It is powered by the 12nm Helio G95 chipset that arrived nearly two years ago. nThe M5s gets a more capable camera setup than the M5 with the 64MP f/1.8 main unit joined by an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide shooter with 118-degree FoV. A couple of 2MP shooters for macro and depth are still present. The front camera, tucked inside a punch hole has a 13MP sensor.
The battery capacity might be the same but
the M5s ups the fast charging speed to 33W, filling the 5,000 mAh cell in just
over an hour. The Poco M5s also has NFC, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a
3.5 mm audio jack, and an IP53 rating. All these specifications might sound
familiar because the phone is already available under two other names - Redmi
Note 10S and Redmi Note 11 SE in India. One major difference is the software -
the Poco M5s ships with the latest MIUI 13, on top of Android 12.
The Poco M5s is selling in Grey, White,
and Blue colors at major online retailers such as Amazon, AliExpress, Shoppee,
Lazada, etc. Price starts from € 209 for the 4/64 GB, € 229 for 4/128 GB, and
€ 249 for 6/128 GB. Once again there is a € 20 early bird discount for everyone
who buys the phone tomorrow, September 6. India is not getting the device,
despite being one of the major Poco markets.
