Xiaomi has several subdivisions, among them we find both Redmi and Little, two sub-brands of the Chinese company focused on offering maximum stability in terms of value for money, leaving behind some strictly new features that do not necessarily hinder the enjoyment of technology.
This time we are here to talk about Poco F2 Pro 5G, a device that has slightly abandoned its low-cost essence but that has left us brutal sensations. Discover with us the latest from Poco that brings interesting news such as compatibility with 5G networks and the use of materials that have left us speechless.
As always, We accompany these first impressions with a video that we have left you at the top of the post. We invite you to take a look, since we are including a detailed unboxing in which you will be able to appreciate the design of the device as well as the contents of the box.

Don't forget that we are dealing with first impressions, next week you will have here, in Androidsis, an in-depth analysis with camera test and much more about this Poco F2 Pro 5G. No products found.
Materials and design
The biggest twist that Poco has prepared for us is precisely the design and materials. While so far the firm has opted for practical materials and little "premium", This time it goes straight for the polished aluminum, the glass on the back and a retractable camera that will delight many users. Without a doubt, as soon as we pick it up, we find a "premium" device that weighs much more than its predecessors, there are many factors that affect this detail.
- Size: 163.3 x 75.4 x 8.9 mm
- Weight: 219 grams
Without a doubt, this Poco F2 Pro has removed the stigma of a "cheap" looking phone and we find a device of great proportions, consistent construction and quality materials that feels very good in the hand. We have a layer of coating «nano-coating» on the back of the glass that makes this matte color very attractive. Regarding the packaging, it should be noted that Poco has included a totally free translucent cover so that we can protect the Poco F2 Pro 5G, since now it seems more flimsy than before.

In the technical section, this Poco F2 Pro lacks absolutely nothing. This time we we are testing the unit with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of storage giving very good results on a daily basis.
We have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, more than proven, so at the performance level we have not found the slightest of complaints. Regarding performance, Poco does continue to maintain the essence and the result is being extraordinarily good. It helps a lot to have MUII 11 and Android 10 accompanied by Poco Launcher 2.0.
Cameras, one step ahead
One of Poco's "pending" tasks was precisely the cameras, and at least in the technical section they seem to have taken an important step forward. We remind you that next week you will see the in-depth analysis where we will do an exhaustive camera test. Regarding the main sensors placed in a circular module at the rear we find: 686MP IMX64 sensor for the main one, 13MP Wide Angle sensor up to 123 degrees, a 5MP telephoto + macro and finally a 2MP sensor designed for portrait mode.
We do not forget that we have 20 MP front camera, as you well know with a retractable system. Clearly we have a set of cameras that, although they may have a sensor that does not quite convince us, at least it will give us a lot of play for the final test.
Connectivity and autonomy with surprises
The connectivity section is precisely one of the most "surprising" of this new F2 Pro range from Poco. First of all we incorporate NFC, one of the most controversial points in certain Xiaomi devices. Definitely the NFC will allow us to integrate payment platforms, something that many of us thought would continue to be absent. For its part we have the rest of much more classic features such as the WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, Dual GPS, the infrared receiver and emitter system and a 3,5mm jack that continues to remain impassive. For its part we have 5G connectivity, which in our case we will not be able to analyze as our company is not one of the pioneers in this regard.
Regarding the battery we stay at only 30W fast charging, Which is not bad either, especially knowing that the charger is built into the package for free. On the other hand, we have 4.700 mAh that are well noticeable in the weight of the device and that will help us maintain long hours, even video games, since this Poco F2 Pro has liquid cooling and that will help maintain the stability of the terminal in the long term.
