Why the Poco M5s
BudgetThe Xiaomi Poco M5s delivers extraordinary value for an entry-level device, featuring a crisp AMOLED display, a solid 5000 mAh battery, and a versatile camera setup at a very low price. Performance is modest based on its Helio G95 chipset and benchmark scores, and build quality is constrained by plastic materials and an IP53 rating. However, the overall package punches well above its modest cost.
