IMPORTANT - The phone is still available but the allocation of POCO Watches seem to have run out now sorry...

Credit to for his POCO X5 Pro deal including Free POCO watch / and the LEBARA06 code on another post...The FREE POCO watch isnt advertised that well...

This maybe a glitch on the Xiaomi website but if you hit BUY whilst looking at the POCO X5.....the POCO X5 6GB + 128GB / and the 8GB + 256GB are showing at the same discounted price of £229. There is also a free POCO Watch (in either white/blue/black colours). A £15 system discount that brings the price down to £214. But the LEBARA06 coupon brings the price down again to £201.16 including the free POCO Watch.

    i have a poco x4 5g that has a 67w charger would i be able to use on the x5 as it states a 33w charger. will it cook the battery?
    DopeyDunker's avatar
    It can only charge to it's max 33w, it doesn't matter if the charger can do more - it won't cook the battery. (edited)

    wasnt expecting to be buying a mobile phone on a sunday morning, thanks!

    Cheers OP! And just did a quick registration to get the £20 MI points discount to buy for £194
    KingOfCaledonia's avatar
    Did you redeem your points for a coupon and then use it alongside the Lebara coupon?
  7. Bargainz999's avatar
    I've got two accounts - one with 600 points and the other with 650 points - These will expire on 01/09/23. How much are these worth in coupon value please and how do I convert them to coupons? (edited)
    Dorian_Mangel's avatar
    400 points gives you £10 voucher and 800 will give you £30 so you're in the middle .

    I was tempted to upgrade from the F3 to this same specs, but apparently this phone is inferior to that so think I'll save some money and stick with what I have!

    "The Poco X5 is a mid-range device from Poco. It is above Poco's M series but below the F series. Next to the X5 5G, there is also a better-equipped X5 Pro 5G. Poco offers the X5 in different versions, either with 128 GB memory and 6 GB RAM or with 256 GB memory and 8 GB RAM." (edited)
    Crossbow's avatar
    Yes, your F3 is better in many ways including cameras. What's your budget if you're still looking?
  9. westspeed's avatar
    I agree. I had my screen swapped out when it was new due to colour issues but no flicker
  10. JB3345's avatar
    Will banking apps work fine on this ? Thanks.
    DopeyDunker's avatar
    Yes
  11. DingIs's avatar
    also, in SHopping cart the watch is there, or seems to be, but in Checkout it isn't?

    Has the watch offer now gone as states all gifts have been given
  13. IrishMan's avatar
    Needs to be updated to reflect that the watches are no longer available.
  14. ggfergy's avatar
    Very very good price
  15. Tornado_Gale's avatar
    This upgrade from redmi note 10 pro, better camera?
    How does it compare to Pixel 7? (edited)
    LEB123's avatar



    There's a comparison of the chips in this phone vs the pixel 7
  16. MrPaddy70's avatar
    This or the Honor Magic 5 lite.
    bigjoeftq's avatar
    Magic lite had it snapped it by mistake got this last week and still waiting on them to email me a return label one of the worst phones I have owned so slow with all there added rubbish
  17. quake.ee's avatar
    50735612-V8khd.jpgGood offer:)

    JUNR786's avatar
    I'm in the same boat with the points..... But I'm maintaining my self control, at least for now (edited)
  20. MarkyRamone's avatar
    Thank you very much OP ❤️
  21. smokieUK's avatar
    On this site you can do a side by side technical comparison
  22. BWoo-e69b9.96461's avatar
    I have F3 assuming this is a bit worse.
    Crossbow's avatar
    Not a bit, quite a bit I'd say.
  23. c_bigbear's avatar
    I shouldn't .... my 2 yrs old pco x3 pro is still working perfectly fine, but ordered.
    westspeed's avatar
    Same but you sell the watch and your old phone then the upgrade is not going to be very much at all
  24. Dillz_'s avatar
    Damn as soon as I got the Redmi for someone, this came out!
    Crossbow's avatar
    Which Redmi was it?
  25. anthonylivingstone5's avatar
    Hi, I have the Redmi Note 10 Pro.
    How does this Poco X5 compare?

    I have bulging battery after flying on holiday a few weeks ago. Case is split by a mm or so but working perfectly otherwise.

    Other than the 5G (which I don't need) would the X5 be an upgrade or downgrade?
    DopeyDunker's avatar
    Slight downgrade I'd say with battery life and camera probably the main differences. But, I don't think the difference would be huge. Trouble is there isn't much brand new that is that next step up from your 10 Pro which is going to be as cheap as this I doubt. You could hold out for a really top deal - which may or may not come - if you think your battery will hold out!
  26. SirSpanky's avatar
    I don't think there's anything close to these specs for under £200 (since the O2 Nothing Phone deal expired) so this gets heat from me!
    russwuss's avatar
    Which O2 Nothing Phone deal?
  27. MrCynical's avatar
    Ive got a Huawei P30 still going strong, with (what I think) is still a great camera - is this an upgrade ?
    Im really used to my x3 optical zoom on it, and the screen is still stunning...
    Crossbow's avatar
    No, this has a very average camera.
  28. JB3345's avatar
    I have Honor 9 which I need to fiddle with it before it charges.
    I ordered the POCO X5 this morning but now I'm thinking I should have ordered the PRO version instead. Any thoughts ?
    Crossbow's avatar
    Yes, the Pro version is the one to go for of the two. You should be able to cancel in time before they dispatch it & order the Pro.
  29. stewby's avatar
    I have a Mi A3 which after 3 years or so the battery is starting to struggle. Would this be a good upgrade? Looking at £200 ish max for new phone. Thanks
    DopeyDunker's avatar
    Probably a bit better in pretty much all areas, but bear in mind it's a larger phone and is not stock android like your A3:

  30. DingIs's avatar
    jeez, the trade in offers £54 for my X3 Pro... lolwut!
  31. tahir1231's avatar
    good spec at this price. ordered. thanks
  32. Father-Jemima-Racktool's avatar
    OP I think your deal is for the X5, not the pro...
    pekoz1's avatar
    Author
    Yes it was for the X5. I mentioned Pro referring to earlier deal for the Pro + POCO Watch .

    Have I mentioned Pro somewhere else then?
  33. Blandalorian's avatar
    Superb offer if you can put up with MIUI.
    CoolGeezer's avatar
    I actualky love Miui! What's so bad about it I've always wondered
  34. KaraSevda's avatar
    Anyone knows a good deal for F5 or F5 pro?
    quake.ee's avatar
    Only at AliExpress.
  35. mattygc2004's avatar
    poor cameras on these
  36. shillstomper's avatar
    watch gone
  37. Android_Box's avatar
    Prefer pro version. This one has only 48mp camera
  38. luidal's avatar
    I have a mate 20x 7.2 screen. Good but getting on now. I've searched but not seen anything similar. Is there a similar with a large screen phone some one can recommend please. Cheers.
    pekoz1's avatar
    Author
    Cant recommend anything sorry but have you tried a search on gsmarena

    For example this search is 7inch screen and above from 2022 onwards (but some of these Im guessing wont be sold in the UK) :-

    gsmarena.com/res…s=1

    Most appear to be Fold phones...
  39. EN1GMA's avatar
    What's the camera like with these phones?
    Professor_Chaos's avatar
    Just don’t expect a s23 ultra or iPhone quality but I’d say they’re well worth £200 or so
  40. deleted2919055's avatar
    dang it. missed the deal. £276 now
