Xiaomi just introduced the POCO M5s. As the name suggests, it will be a feature-packed entry-level smartphone.
If it looks familiar, that’s because the POCO M5s is a rebranded Redmi Note 10S that already arrived in the Philippines in June 2021.

That said, this one is still powered by a MediaTek Helio G95 processor, with an option between 4GB and 6GB of RAM and 64GB and 128GB of expandable storage.
On the front, we have a 6.43-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED screen with Corning Gorilla Glass protection. It also gets to have a stereo speaker setup for audio

As a standard, the M5s has a 5,000mAh battery with fast 33W charging support.
A quad-camera setup is led by a sharp 64-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide. Selfies are handled by a 13-megapixel shooter on the front.

The POCO M5s has a price of Php9,999 for the 4GB/64GB model while the 6GB/128GB is at Php10,899. They will be available starting September 7 at Shopee for a discounted price of Php8,599 and Php9,999, respectively. Alternatively, you can check out the also-new POCO M5.
