POCO X5 5G has appeared in the Geekbench list

Although the launch is tomorrow, someone has already tested the new POCO X5 5G phone on Geekbench. According to the test, it won't even have Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, but something old familiar.

In my previous article based on rumours, I wrote that the POCO X5 5G will be a globalised version of the Chinese Redmi Note 12 5G. But the Geenbench test showed that it was not. But the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 would be a very good chip and would be a good fit for a POCO phone. But no.

You can easily identify the phone by the code number 22111317PG and the code name "moonstone". However, we had to do some research on the processor and it turns out to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695. This SoC has been in previous POCO X4 Pro phones, so interestingly the previous Pro will be this year's base. But we'll find the same in the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G phone. So it will be good for a base phone! In light of this, I would correct what was written in the primers:
