POCO F5 and POCO F5 Pro phones launched

We already knew what to expect from the POCO F5 and POCO F5 Pro before they were launched. The Chinese Redmi Note 12 Turbo and the Redmi K60 globalised versions. We already know their knowledge, it was the price that mattered.

Of the two phones, the POCO F5 is the more interesting, as it has the latest Qualcomm SoC, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2. I've already mentioned this once, its performance is not only equal to the SD8+ Gen 1, it even surpasses it in some areas.
