The phone's sharp display!

1. High-resolution display - The Pro edition boasts 6.67-inch Flow AMOLED with WQHD+ 3200 x 1440 resolution making it one of the sharpest displays around while also having thin bezels thus could let users enjoy watching videos or scrolling through social media with it.

Equipped with sub-flagship SD8+G1!

2. Powerful processor - POCO F5 Pro uses the 4nm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 octa-core processor with New Adreno GPU. Being the former flagship chip it packs a lot of performance in terms of multitasking and graphics. It is still speedy up to date and can run a lot of apps or games with ease.

3. Large RAM and storage - POCO paired the chip with large memory configurations, it has choices of 8GB or 12GB LPDRR5 RAM and 256GB or the massive 512GB UFS 3.1 memory space. Both of which should suffice for today's apps, games, files, or videos you want to save.

Moreover, the Pro also features 30W wireless charging which POCO said they heard the fans requesting so the brand opted to add this capability.
