What do you think of the new POCO F5 Pro? Also let me know what do you want to see in its full review! 😁 UPDATE: Turns out the Ultra setting on CODM only applies for multiplayer! Sorry for that and I’ll adjust accordingly in future tests 🙏🏻
Not bad tho.. still i like more my 8 pro
I'm waiting for my Redmi k60 to arrive, however I'm more interested in an in-depth review of Genshin impact on this phone!
jajajajaja
poco x4 gt is 300$ and max graphics all biggest size games
K60 is lot cheaper for the same specs
I love Kenneth's review, so detail yet in a ver subtle way
This is so comprehensive. Great video.
Thank you for this gaming review(specially the star rail part)! Awesome content!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad the addition was helpful 😁
@@namedkenn what fps app u use?
Great video , for Star Rail you should probably do the space dragon fight or Cocollia since they're very demanding on performance to run smoothly
to be fair, the first releases of honkai was HELLA DEMANDING on phones, it took a lot of optimization to be run smoothly on average phones, it's much better now even in phantylia fight (even swarm disaster)
Such a great review, and u actually play Genshin N Star Rail! Makes the test very relatable :)
Been waiting for this
Try out poco's f5 next. Would like to see how the 7 plus gen 2 performs in tests like yours since most youtubers just gloss over it. Thanks
The AnTuTu score went up by 300k after the last update on the Poco F5 pro. Same score or about as the redmagic 8 pro 12/256.
Thank you for video ❤️
I was about to bought Xiaomi 12t 3 months ago, but then I heard about K60 which will be the next f5 so I wait. Definitely gonna bought this one once it released, I'm gonna be one of the early birds to get the discount.
Nice video! I love how you actually know how to play most of these games. It improves the test imo. I'm thinking to buy this one in a few days.
Thanks so much! I try to point out the things that actually matter so I hope it helped 😁 this is still a great phone ‘til today (still use it daily) so enjoy!
Wooww, last time i saw you with those airbuds and now phone review? You are real growing dudeeee... Keep it up!
Thank you so much for sticking around! It’s been a real pleasure to test phones and other tech than just earbuds and I’m so glad you loved them too! Will definitely do my best 🙌🏻
Wow thanks for the effort, i've been Searching for this.. anyway what apps did you use to monitor the temperature and refresh rate?
Just got one tonight and I'm pretty satisfied with watching this video I also got a controller that mounts behind the phone and o hope that thicc camera doesn't get in the road
Great video, pls test a device with SD 7+ Gen2 . POCO F5 or GT Neo 5 SE
Contemplating on whether I buy the Pro or Standard variant of this one. I used your video as one reference for my Redmi K20/Mi 9t I bought about 4 yrs ago (still using it now) and here I am again. I've seen your replies that you don't have the vanilla F5 so you can't compare. Still a great performance test for this new phone. Keep up your good work!
Prople love f5 so much..think its good phone
Hi Kenneth, a review idea. Phones for music, for wireless and for wired. Top 5 budget phones with good internal DAC for music lovers. What do you think?
Hi, really good video! Can you write best "Game Turbo" set? I playing genshin Impact
Hopefully you can review poco f5 want to know what your thoughts about it cuz I just ordered one😊
just finished watching the launch of f5 and you already have it? dayuuum!
POCO sends review devices like weeks before the actual release, to let them make videos/tests about it.
@@iLKA_2404 yeah thats cool tho... the other youtuber I subbed just uploaded his review on the unit too
wow, didn't know Star Rails more taxing than Genshin.. bu really appreciate that you show you do dailies in sumeru for Genshin. most of youtube reviewer always review opening of genshin (in Mondstadt using traveler or amber), i mean, the more the game open up, should be the more taxing right? with multiple skills shows
That's the weird detail about HSR: It is not, but somehow manages to bring temperatures higher than Genshin. In short: I have a Poco F4, I play both games. Genshin doesn't run at 60FPS most of the time but rather 45-56FPS. Star Rail does run at 60FPS all the time in my phone and rarely seem to dip, but it makes the phone run way hotter at 60fps. I ended up limiting it to 60FPS to keep that in check.
In wildrift, you can actually play at 90 and 120fps if you lower your graphics settings to medium, i do this on my S20 Ultra
It's hard to see the details in a small screen so instead of running Genshin in 45 FPS, it's better to run it at high settings instead. Lower FPS would still be noticeable.
awesome review of the new poco, can you add 1 game like Nikke?
Hi Ken! Can you Please Review the 1More Aero? ❤❤❤
Kenneth please do a 1 month later review, just ordered mine sadly I could only get white the black is sold out. 😭 Was there any difference on the back between the black and white?
Hey ken can you do a review on redmi dots essential? Is the latency better with new 5.3 bluetooth update? Thanks
Thanks for adding Honkai: Star Rail in the review. Hoyoverse's new game is sooo addicting and fun. Maybe next time some Simulated Universe runs! Great review as always ❤ Been thinking of replacing my ageing Poco F3 bought April 2021. Maybe this time, I'll pull the trigger and buy the PRO version.
I'm glad it was useful! I've been enjoying the game lately more than I thought I ever would haha will definitely add more Simulated Universe next, especially as I progress and build my teams better (currently struggling with World 2 final boss as much as I hate to say it) Getting back to topic, I think the Pro would finally be a real upgrade to the F3, not only in terms of performance but the other aspects in general, and the price is very good too at 449USD!
@@namedkenn I grew up playing turn-based games (old FF games and my favorite Persona 3), and I'm glad I like HSR even if it's a gacha game! Finish World 2 coz World 3 and above has better rewards ❤ Yeah, the price really is so enticing as expected of Poco's "flagship" killer. And true, it's the real upgrade compared to the thermal-throttling Poco F4 GT!
I'm thinking the same thing. Like if F5 or F5 Pro for playing honkai star rail. F5 is good because of headphone jack
My last phone was also poco f3 and i considered poco f4 gt as my upgrade, but then the poco f5 pro came out, and i pre ordered it now. I really enjoyed the touch hz of f3 specially on apex legend mobile cod and mobile legends, and im excited for the poco f5 procto arrive because i get an upgrade to 480hz touch sampling rate and better phone build
@@IzukuLuffyAsta you can get type c to headset jack adaptor for cheap at local stores. Mine is 2 dollars and running fine
Can you do a test about the poco f5? I wanna know if the 7+ gen 2 chip works anywhere near the 8+ gen 1 chip.
Thank you, please let us know which display is better between f4 gt and f5 pro
For star rail ,try walking in asta place because that place is so heavy gpu usage
Por fin alguien que si sabe jugar y te muestra una Review real no solo abrir el juego y dar vueltas
its a noice eye catching showcase for this phone. Im currently planning to upgrade my phone due to the reason of Genshin + Star rail, my realme 6 kinda cooking some egg tarts while im playing.
haha let's cook then.
Can you include apex legends mobile, farlight for the gaming tests for the future videos?
Xiaomi 13's Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 also does not overheat with Honkai Starrail.
Hi, just want to tell you something, when you were playing CODm, the ultra frame rate is only available in the multiplayer mode that's why it's only at 60fps when you played battle royale
I want to have a cheap but good tws and i came up with soundpeats free2 classic but then i came accross your videos and said that fill t1 pro is almost on par sound quality wise with soundpeats h1 which in my country was expensive. i then get the fill t1 pro for just $27 here in my country and i hope i made the right choice. h1 cost about $55, edifier w240tn was about $60 and soundcore a40s about $105. do you think i get the best deal?
Hi, are you going to review the new Soundpeats Engine 4?
You should try the crazy OnePlus ace v2 with the absolute monstrous dimensity 9000 at a price of only 330 -370 $ crazy deal 🤯
Hii..can you review the BASEUS WM02 tws? it seems interesting because it's world's baseus one of popular product. Thank you so muchh Ken!❤❤
In Honkai: Star Rail, I think the cut scenes are the heavier ones because it lags tremendously when it is played. Anyone with the same exp? I'm on RM Note 10 pro.
The one you tested, is it the 8GB ram or 12GB?
Can you review the F5 non-pro model?
Woah, hope u can do Honkai star rail more
I would love to do so! Now that I’ve actually played with it until AR65 (or whatever it’s called haha) I can give a pretty good insight on the game, but what do you like to see?
Hey can u do the Poco F5 non pro Vs Xiaomi 11t ? I want to upgrade but not sure if the performance worth it
What do you say before "good morning everyone"? What language is this? Love your videos, you give so detailed reviews and have a such positive energy that it's a pleasure to watch them.
that chrome dino tho. i noticed that! very ready in case theres no wifi lol
what app did you used for that in display fps counter?
can you review poco f5 gt when they release it too happy to see that i think im skipping this not because of the performance but because of the charging speed f5 gt is 120watts
Can you make a review on Amgras Spacebuds III Pro please.. Can't find any atm 😔
is touch sampling rate matters too or not really when it comes to fast hand gaming?
Please can you do a 1 hour test of genshin impact, because when we do archon quests normally we play more than 1 hour
Hi Ken can I ask how to get or activate that chart you looking at with graph and fps tanx
Bro can you please🙏 do the highest graphics possible for extreme framerate video of poco f5 pro with fps meter? I am looking for a video like that but i can't find 1 It's always the low graphics with high fps
Can you review Infinix Moi GM7? It has a good design and quality for it's price
Bought normal POCO F5. Hope you will be doing review for it and maybe comparison with the PRO. You are making best phone review
Normal f5 mainboard is 🔥🔥🔥
Um Kenneth which specific variant of the phone did you use in this case was it 12/256 or the 12/512m
Please do the video for poco f5 pro or poco x4 gt in terms of gaming
Can you try to play diablo immortal!? Planning to buy one. Thanks in advance...
Make review about Baseus EZ10 new cheapest model of earbuds from Baseus. I purchased them, i like fit a lot, its so small and compact, sound quality is maybe slightly worse than soundpeats mini pro, volume is 7/10, app support, rapid charge and low latency mode. Purchased them for 11$ with shipping.
please make a gaming review on the poco f5
All in highest settings? quite impressive how it handles heat.
Can we get to see f5 GT with 8 gen 2 😢 globally
That Genshin performance is quite good! My My Samsung Galaxy 21 Ultra struggles a bit and sheesh does it get hot. Nice team btw, maybe I need to get this phone so I can practice more mobile, I stink at playing Genshin on mobile. :)
S21 have 2 bad chip (ex2100 and snap888)
I think it discharges quickly, unfortunately... If this keeps discharging on this rate, probably should laste about 4:30 of gameplay... I like playing emulators like aethersx2 or skyline for example, so it probably would discharge more quickly yet😢 Bro, my x3 pro lastes about 4:30/5:00 on heavy games, so I didn't like the battery performance of this Poco f5 pro... Do you know in general if 8 gen 2 devices battery lasts more time? Maybe be better for me, i heard 8 gen 2 has more energetic efficiency than 8 gen 1, so battery duration is better, right? I'm curious about that...
I NOTICED no one brought that up but CODM runs 90 fps on multiplayer mode only but you tried it on battle royale so that's why it didn't work if you wanna push the limit just run very high max settings on BR instead since the game can easily run MP at 90 fps on lower phones already
Hello Sir can you do a review on Poco F1 for gaming test I'm gonna buy a phone soon but I can't decide and the Poco F1 is tempting me alot I can't afford good smartphone for gaming and I also want to buy it because I really want to continue playing HSR but I can't my phone is Moto Macro One and it's been 5 years since I'm using this phone and I'm lagging alot playing HSR I humbly request you Thankyou ❤
Kenneth, you are the best
Hey you’re the best too! Haha thanks 🙌🏻
Comparison video about K60E and POCO F5 im thorn on these two
pls make a genshin dedicated review. I plan on buying this phone, and would really appreciate that video. Thanks in advance
Me who watching this with my F4 GT I bought like three and a half months ago: 😐
I bought it last year, I'm going to upgrade to this pro or just regular f5 tho, f4 gt is good but I'm playing star rail and f4 gt is heating up like crazy 🤣, even my Redmi pad handle star rail very good with no heating up issue using Helio G99
Time to sell it bro..
@@justanotherviewer1282 Yes, but the shoulder buttons are completely game changers! Earlier today the cooling fan I ordered arrived, I really hope it will solve the heating problem
@@nelnior7137 Yes, but the shoulder buttons are completely game changers! plus, I ordered a cooling fan two weeks ago and I got a message earlier today that it just arrived so...
@@techbowx4715 yeah if you're fine with it there's no need to change, btw what games are you playing?
Can u help me to pick either poco f5 or poco f5 pro since I'm a gaming person who spent time playing mobile game all the time
do you think it will have motherbord problems or it will not am not sure about this phone ?
does type c headphones work on poco f5 pro?
i have a question ❓ redmi k60 ultra 1.5milion in antutu wich one better poco f5 pro or redmi k60 utra for gaming ❓
Which is better? Poco f5 of f5 pro for longer hours of gaming and emulation?
is it safe for the phone to play on 46 degrees ?? what's the must not go above temperature for the phone ? thanks to whoever replies
10:44 Wait that's actually crazy I expect it will go much more stable because my Poco F3 didn't drop the fps like that. I'm using highest graphics settings too except for the motion blur But to be fair I tweak my Poco F3 a bit what I mean is -debloated it -turned on the performance mode using setedit ( it was hidden on dev option but it will show up when turned on using set edit ) -undervolted the gpu and overclock it to 683mhz ( 670mhz stock ) -flashed a newer adreno driver -external cooler because it's hot in my country -stock rom and kernel just rooted to unlock 120fps of codm, flash the adreno driver and undervolt the gpu. But I'm still surprised how Poco F5 pro perform, I thought it will be significantly better on my Poco F3 atleast on Genshin but it's not
its 49 minutes straight gameplay with other games no rest thats why
So I was looking for better gaming phone but seems SD 8 gen 1 still stutters Genshin? My Huawei p30 (4 years old) can play it 60fps but it gets hot and not comfortable to hold. Maybe will wait for other performance tests.
Hey Kenneth is there any difference between the k60 and F5 pro in graphics performance, built quality and thermal throttling? Since I recently ordered the K60 china version with global ROM installed.
I think the f5 pro has a bigger battery
Can you review the Realme 11 Pro Plus😔👉🏻👈🏻
What i recommend is remove joyose via universal debloater, this will help you remove the fps limiter set by xiaomi
Would you please add Honkai Impact 3rd to your gaming test? Please 🙏
What's the name of the song @13:10 and 8:19?
Ken i have an idea! Why dont u try budget headphones!
Wow, udah di tangan aja, padahal baru aja launching. Can't wait,, for the comparison review vs Realmegtneo5se, please do it for us.
Haha iya nih dari kemarin lagi embargo jadi enggak boleh share dulu tapi excited banget, harus ada round 2 versus realme nih kalau udah launching di Indo (harus beli sendiri soalnya)! 🙌🏻
@@namedkenn di Vietnam ada kayaknya bang. Soalnya beberapa review ada dari Ytber Vietnam.
Can u try carx street??
Can you do the normal F5? instead of f5 pro
[SUGGESTION] next time if its ok.. can you inclide cutscenes on both honkai star rail and Genshin impact.. cause that is what im looling forward in phone reviews..
If the phone can handle that gameplay at very high settings and nearly 60fps, it is no problem to run cutscene.
Why? Its literally just a video playing
Hey could you also test poco f5 too
guys i need help, would it be better for me to get x4 gt or the f5 pro? i need ur opinions for this one, respectfully
Just try the poco f5 in the next video game test. Thank you
Maybe you should try carx street.
I have by cod instand 60+ cpu 🔥...its broken?
Would love to see a comparison between Poco F5 and F4 GT!
F4 GT runs considerably slower than regular F4, and this one runs games slightly faster than regular F4. So, not much of a comparison, the F4 GT would get demolished.
F4gt=8gen1 (fail chip) F5=7gen2 f5p=8gen+1 2 goods chips
@@Donivar but he didn't want a comparison with the regular f4 but rather it's the f5
@@macksuting6263What I was trying to say is that, if the F4 GT ran even slower than the regular F4, it would obviously be demolished by the F5. I have had the F4 and F5, and even though the F4 is very fast, the F5 runs way faster in games. There's no point of comparing with the F4 GT, it's the same F4 with a bigger performance gap.
Thanks for the video but for my advised its better to use radiator phone cooler for playing genshin impact if u want consistent 60 fps all the time
he's testing it raw. to know how the phone gonna reacts
This is awesome, especially with the inclusion of star rail, I wonder how the non-pro f5 temperature will be instead.
I’m glad it helped! I’m also very curious about the F5 since it’s a quite literally brand new chip 🤔
@@namedkenn it looks like a toned down ver of the 8+ gen 1, so very interested if it runs much cooler, I don't mind losing 3-5fps for 3 degrees cooler in long session of genshin/star rail, cause I am quite sensitive with temp beyond 44c
Not really, it runs perfectly fine above 55fps and it the heat barely reach 42-43°, heck even above 45fps is good enough for me as long as i get cooler and steady performance for long gaming sessions, i usually run on 30fps for longer gaming sessions, playing stat rail daily min at 3 hours and during breaks i usually play around 6-8 hours no problem at all
@@namedkenn please make detail comparison between poco f5 and poco f5 pro
Just asking is it dangerous especially for the cpu of the poco f5 pro reaching 46-47 degrees?? Before i have poco x3 pro and it only lasted for 2 years due to heating issue so do you think poco f5 pro can be used for a long period of time?? Thank you in advance for answering.
buy Xiaomi 12t pro much better
Me playing star rail and genshin on redmi k20 pro in 2023🥲. And hoping that it would be priced at an acceptable range😅
