Poco X5 Pro with Snapdragon 778G to Launch Soon in Nepal

Poco is set to launch the recently announced Poco X5 Pro 5G in Nepal. It’s a direct successor to last year’s Poco X4 Pro, which sadly was not made available in Nepal.

It was unveiled on February 6 along with the vanilla Poco X5. The news on whether the vanilla model will arrive in Nepal is currently unsure.

The highlights of the X5 Pro are that it is powered by the Snapdragon 778G, has a 120Hz 10-bit AMOLED screen, a 108MP main camera, and has 67W fast charging support.

These specifications and features are identical to the Redmi 12 Pro Speed Edition that was launched in China in December 2022. So it is the rebranded Redmi 12 Pro Speed Edition for the global market.
