❓ Frequently asked questions
How long does the Poco M5 battery last?
The Poco M5 packs a 5000mAh battery that typically delivers about 9.1 hours of screen-on time. With normal mixed use (social apps, calls, some video) most users comfortably get through a full day, and light users can stretch it to two days before needing a recharge.
How fast does the Poco M5 charge?
It supports 18W wired charging, which tops the 5000mAh cell from zero to 50% in roughly 82 minutes. With the bundled adapter you can expect a full charge in about 163 minutes, though the exact speed depends on the cable and charger you use.
Is the Poco M5 good for gaming?
Yes — its Helio G99 scores around 420,000 points in AnTuTu and drives the 90Hz IPS LCD display, so demanding titles like Genshin Impact run smoothly at medium-to-high settings. The Mali-G57 MC2 handles modern GPU workloads well. For sustained sessions, performance throttling is moderate with a warm back after 20+ minutes.
How good is the Poco M5 camera?
The main 50MP sensor is the star: joined by an ultrawide and a 2MP telephoto (). Daylight shots are sharp with natural colors, and night mode is surprisingly usable. Video tops out at 1080p.
Is the Poco M5 worth buying in 2025?
With an overall score of 7.0/10, Poco M5 is worth it at the right discount. It launched at around $169 and you can now find it on Amazon for less.
