You can choose from three bold color options: Supernova Green, Wildcat Blue, and Jaguar Black. Plus, the device has an IP53 rating, making it resistant to water and dust to a certain degree.
The front of the Poco X5 5G is dominated by a huge 6.67-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display, which boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and a peak brightness of 1200 nits. The screen is toughened with Corning Gorilla Glass and has SGS Care and Seamless Pro Display certifications.
