Xiaomi Poco M5
The Poco M5 is a decent phone available for a low price, but it simply lacks the sense of sheer punching-above-its-weight good value that defined many previous Poco handsets. You seem to be getting a little less for your money overall compared to other Poco phones, meaning you’re probably better off finding a deal on a Poco M4 Pro or the Redmi Note 11.

The Xiaomi Poco M5 delivers superb performance within its price category and offers great specs for the money. Nevertheless, it also has weaknesses in terms of its cameras, speaker and location tracking capability.
