Why the Poco M5
BudgetThe Xiaomi Poco M5 delivers solid baseline hardware for its budget positioning, featuring a capable Helio G99 chipset, smooth 90Hz display, and a large 5000 mAh battery. Camera performance is basic with no OIS or high-end secondaries, and charging speeds are quite slow. However, its exceptional $109 price tag makes it a very strong value option in the budget segment.
