Poco X5 Pro

The X5 Pro is another solid value for money option from the Poco range, hitting a sweet spot of design, price and specs. However, forcing UK buyers to the more expensive model makes it less appealing compared to the likes of Google and OnePlus.

El X5 Pro es otra opción con una buena relación calidad-precio del catálogo de Poco, pues consigue un buen equilibrio entre el diseño, el precio y las especificaciones. No obstante, obligar a los compradores españoles a comprar el modelo más caro hace que sea menos atractivo que otras opciones de, por ejemplo, Google y OnePlus.
