Poco was launched as a Xiaomi brand back in 2018, swiftly gaining popularity thanks to its first smartphone - the Poco F1 - which offered top of the line specifications at an affordable price. Poco was separated into an independent brand by the Chinese electronics giant in 2020, before the launch of its second phone.

The Indian smartphone market has seen a lot of activity recently in the sub-Rs. 30,000 category. Most of the new launches have generally been successors of phones which were available last year in and around the Rs. 20,000 mark. The price hike of new launches can be attributed to various factors such as the rising cost of components and raw materials, weakening Rupee against the dollar, and so on. Poco, a company known to offer value-for-money hardware in the mainstream and mid-range segment, has now launched the Poco X5 Pro 5G as its new offering under Rs. 25,000.

The Poco F4 5G offers a good balance of specifications for its retail price as we've already seen in our first impressions. However, this smartphone faces stiff competition from brands such as OnePlus, iQoo, and even its close cousin Xiaomi. It's time to find out whether the F4 5G is worth buying or whether you'd be better off with something from one of these other manufacturers at this price.

The Poco X3 Pro was touted to be a successor to the fan-favourite and gamers' delight, the Poco F1. While it did prove its worth in games and overall performance with its Snapdragon 800-series SoC, it wasn't a standout device. The new Poco X4 Pro 5G is the follow-up to the X3 Pro, but instead of featuring an equally powerful SoC as its predecessor, if not more, Poco has given it a 600-series 5G SoC.
