Poco F5 Pro may not arrive in India, here's why

Poco was rumored to launch the Poco F5 series in the global markets including India. The series will comprise the Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro. Both models were previously tipped to be rebranded versions of Redmi K60 phones.

Now, as per a rumor, Poco may not launch the Poco F5 Pro in India. The renowned tipster Kacper Skrzypek revealed that the Poco F5 Pro’s India launch looks unlikely due to the unavailability of ROM.

No India ROMs for codename mondrian (Redmi K60 CN/POCO F5 Pro Global).

He said that there are no ROMs available for the Indian variant that’s codenamed ‘mondrian’. It is worth noting that the device will still launch in other global markets.

And, it’s still expected to be a rebranded model. That said, let’s see what to expect from the Poco F5 Pro that will land up in markets like Europe.

The Poco F5 Pro is expected to come with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 2K resolution. The punch-hole screen will refresh at 120Hz and may have HDR10+ support, just like the Redmi K60.

It could be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC paired with a base 8GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.

The device may come with a triple camera system with a 64MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. The main lens will feature OIS support and may have an 8K video recording. Similar to the K60, again, it may come with a 16MP selfie shooter.

In terms of the battery, it may house the biggest battery ever in a Poco phone, i.e. a 5,500mAh cell. Poco may offer 67W wired and 30W wireless fast charging.

As you’d expect, the device is said to boot on the latest Android 13 OS with MIUI 14 on top. For security, it may have an under-display fingerprint scanner.

As always, all of this is just a rumor and the brand is yet to confirm the same. Having said that, do take the information with a pinch of salt. We hope Poco itself breaks the silence on the Poco F5 series in the coming weeks or months.
