Smartphone POCO M5 - all the pros and cons
After the release of a defective batch of POCO M3, interest in the brainchild of Xiaomi faded slightly. Problematic motherboards, due to poor soldering, led to the fact that smartphones of this model began to turn into a "brick" around the world. Fortunately, the manufacturer admitted the mistake and provided service centers with spare parts. Only this did not save many owners, since the problem manifested itself after a year of operation. Neat after the end of the manufacturer's warranty. But even paid repairs were relevant, since its price was included in the symbolic $30.
Smartphone POCO M4 was too cool. But sales showed weak. The negative from the use of the previous model (POCO M3) affected. Interestingly, official distributors have significantly lowered the price of POCO M4 5G. And the sales started. And, all over the world.
The new POCO M5 looks interesting in terms of cost and filling. The negative experience of POCO M3 and the joys of owners LITTLE M4 met in the battle of consumers in social networks. The debate is quite heated and interesting. Low price and functionality play in favor of POCO M5. Plus, the buyer remembers the attitude of the manufacturer towards the owners. Not every brand recognizes factory defects. And this also plays in favor of POCO M5.

Smartphone POCO M5 can be called quite a successful model for the budget segment. It pulls out an IPS screen here, which perfectly conveys colors. It is very good that the manufacturer did not use an OLED matrix. As a rule, in state employees it has poor-quality PWM, which causes screen flickering, which simply infuriates.
The front camera takes great photos and views in daylight. At dusk, it is better not to count on the camera block. The selfie camera is a bit disappointing. She's about nothing. And this can be called, perhaps, the only drawback of this smartphone.
