what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back so believe it or not poco's back
with yet another smartphone the one that we have here today it's called the poco m5s now i've also
included a camera comparison between my iphone 13 and of course the poco m5s and if you're here
and you just want to see that camera comparison that one starts at this minute of this video but
don't misunderstand the purpose of this camera comparison i'm simply trying to show you what a
budget-friendly device like the poco m5s can do when compared to a flagship like the iphone 13.
alright so let's start um with the super quick unboxing just so i can show you what comes in
the box udapoco m5s all right so in the box aside from the phone you're gonna find some
user manuals we also have a clear silicon case for the device we have on the usb a to a usbc cable
and we have a 33 watt of the fast charger so if you are charging the device from zero to a hundred
the wooden charger that comes in the box you're looking at about an hour and 25 minutes inside
the device we also have a 5 000 milliamp hour battery and on one charge you can get up to 10
hours of screen time depending how you're using the device of course if you're just gonna play
games of course you're not gonna be getting that 10 hours of screen on time but if you are just
watching videos and just browsing the web you can get up to 10 hours of screen on time on one charge
the device itself looks pretty good mostly for a budget friendly device and if you get
the white um color i believe this comes in black as well and of course this kind of looks similar
to the xiaomi redmi note 11 if i remember right so the back here is made out of glass the frame
is made out of metal the top here we have an ir blaster we have a hole for a secondary microphone
we also have the holes for the second speaker so the device has one speaker at the top and one
speaker at the bottom and the speakers sound okay i mean they get fairly loud but they sound a bit
tiny but still it's nice to have dual speakers on the left hand side here we have the slot for
the sim card so this device can take two sim cards and an sd card at the same time on the
other side of the frame we have the volume button and the power button the power button
is also a fingerprint scanner the fingerprint scanner works pretty well it takes about half a
second from the time you touch it for the phone to unlock and moving at the bottom here you're
gonna find the 3.5 mil audio jack i know that's something that we don't typically see every day
next to that we have a hole for a microphone we have the usbc charging port and the second hole
for that speaker that i mentioned earlier on the front of the device we have a 6.43 inches
amoled screen that has a 60 hertz refresh rate so we don't get the 90 or 120 hertz some refresher
that we've seen with other budget friendly devices from xiaomi the screen resolution is 1080p and the
peak brightness according to the manufacturer is 1100 nits now in my eyes it doesn't look like a
screen that has a big brightness of 1100 nits however you can still see the device outside in
direct sunlight so overall for a budget friendly device a pretty decent looking screen the device
is powered by the mediatek helio g95 that's paired with six gigs of ram and 128 gigs of internal
storage i believe you can also get this hood four gigs of ram now the antutu benchmark score that i
got on it is about 350 000. so of course this is not gonna be the fastest phone out there but for
most tasks and most people i'm gonna say the phone does perform pretty decent of course i tried all
the usual apps like facebook chrome and call of duty i actually like call of duty more than
all um the other games and for everything that i did try on it the phone does perform quite well
and it doesn't get that hot you know the flagship that has like the snapdragon on 8th gen one
those ones get really really hot well at least this one doesn't get that hot but of course this
is not a powerhouse but i feel that for most people it will do just um fine like many of the
poco phones that we've been seeing lately this one runs miui 13 which is based on android 12 and of
course you're gonna get a bunch of apps that come pre-installed a bunch of games and stuff like that
you're gonna have to uninstall them yourself so you have like booking.com and a bunch of other
games i've also noticed that there are some ads that show up every so often whenever you're
installing or uninstalling an application now there are ways to get rid of all that and there
are a bunch of tutorials on youtube to do so but that was kind of to be expected for the poco brand
we also have an nfc chip inside them this device and that means that you're going to be able to
make payments using google pay i've also tried the gps unit inside it and it takes maybe a second
from the time you open whatever app for the phone to find them the location we also have a
variety of sensors available so for a super quick conclusion before we start our camera comparison
for a budget phone like this it's kind of hard to argue any negative parts about the device i mean
you do get a pretty good looking screen you get decent performance you get that 5000 milliamp
hour battery that will last you a day and a half or maybe two days depending how you use the phone
you get fairly fast um charging so it's hard to argue that this phone is not worth its price
because it does offer a lot for that price all right and with that being said let's start our
camera comparison and um of course we're gonna start with some pictures that i took with the
rear cameras and i believe we're gonna start with some five times zoom pictures now keep in mind
that neither the poco m5s or my iphone 13 have a telephoto lens so whenever you're doing five
times zoom of course you're gonna get them digital zoom so looking at our five-time zoom pictures of
course neither device does exceptionally well due to that digital zoom but if i would have to choose
out of the two devices i think i would choose the cheaper device the poco m5s because those
pictures do seem a bit sharper compared to the pictures that i took with the iphone
so if you're gonna be zooming um something on something um i feel that the poco m5s will do
a bit better than the iphone 13. and we're gonna move on and start checking out some pictures that
i took with the ultra white cameras on the back of the two devices here the iphone has the wider
field of view so you can see a bit more in those pictures taken by the iphone 13 when compared
to the pictures from the poco device as for saturation well the iphone 13 doesn't use the more
saturated colors it's kind of funny saying that when talking about the xiaomi slash poco device
but yes all the pictures taken by the iphone 13 are a bit more saturated and i kind of prefer
that saturated look for those some particular pictures that i took as for dynamic range of
course the iphone 13 does a bit better once again so those are some examples of ultrawide pictures
that could both devices alright so moving on to pictures taking the main cameras as always all the
pictures are taken on auto mode on both devices and maybe a second apart from each other you've
probably noticed that i haven't included any portrait mode pictures well unfortunately i didn't
have anyone to take pictures of this time around and no one to take pictures of myself so i haven't
included any portrait mode pictures but going back to our main cameras and the daytime pictures
well as you can see for yourself the iphone 13 is using more saturated colors and personally
yes i do like that more saturated look that we get from the iphone 13. for dynamic range the poco m5s
doesn't do bad at all and some of those pictures actually does a bit better than the iphone 13 but
overall i would still choose the iphone 13 for that main camera and of course the auto mode but
what do you guys think about the poco m5s and the pictures they're going to be able to take during
the day with that main camera definitely leave a comment down below and let me know your thoughts
all right then it's time to move on and check out some nighttime pictures now keep in mind that the
night mode is only available for the main camera on the poco m5 so you're not gonna be able to use
the night mode on that ultra white camera that we have on the back of course with iphone 13 you can
use the knight mode with pretty much all three cameras that we have on the device so looking at
those pictures that i took with the knight mode well here you can definitely tell that there is
a big difference in between the two devices so pretty much all the pictures that i took
with the poco m5s some look a bit bloody i'm gonna say not necessarily bloody but there is a lot of
noise in them so they don't look sharp you can definitely tell that the phone is struggling in
those low light conditions where of course the iphone 13 will do much better but we also have
to keep in mind that the iphone 13 is four times the price of the poco m5s so of course the iphone
13 will do much better for nighttime pictures and next we are going to move on and check out
some sample videos now the maximum recording resolution for the poco m5s so the main camera
is 4k at 30 frames per second unfortunately at that resolution we don't get any type of image
stabilization so if you are walking and your hand is shaky of course the video will be shaky
would that be being said i'm going to let you guys watch those sample recordings and i will be back
right after all right we have a quick video test between the iphone 13 and of course the boko m5s
for this recording i'm using the main cameras on the back of the two devices and recording in 4k at
30 frames per second that is the maximum recording resolution available on the poco m5 s of course
the iphone 13 we could also do 4k at 60 frames per second so i'm just gonna pan left slowly
and back right and we're gonna walk this way for a bit just so you can see how steady the
image is from both devices now from the looks of it i don't believe that we get any type of
image stabilization on this poco device so yeah 4k at 30 frames per second and i also wanted to
show you a quick recording done with the ultra white cameras on the back of the two devices once
again with the iphone 13 the maximum recording resolution um with that ultrawide camera is 4k
at 60 frames per second we are currently doing 4k 30 but the maximum recording resolution for the
ultrawide camera on this poco device is 1080p at 30 frames per second we're gonna walk this way for
a bit just so you can see how that stabilization works and from what i'm seeing on the screens here
the poke was doing quite um well but again we'll have to see how this footage actually looks on the
computer so yeah ultrawide cameras on these two devices all right we have a quick video recording
done with the front-facing camera on the poco m5 s and of course on the iphone 13. maximum
recording for the iphone 13 is 4k at 60 frames per second but the maximum recording resolution
on this poco device is 1080p at 30 frames per second i'm gonna stop here we're gonna pan around
slowly and i'll keep going i guess we'll walk this way just so you can see how that stabilization um
works so yeah front-facing cameras on these two devices all right you have a quick video
in low light between the poco m5s and of course the iphone 13. for this recording i'm using the
main cameras on the back of the two devices and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second
so it is pretty dark around here of course we have some street lights but most people probably
record them under these kind of conditions so i guess we can walk this way for a bit
of course the poco doesn't really do well for stabilization i don't think we actually
have any type of stabilization for 4k recordings but just to get um an idea
so of course as you've seen for yourself for video recordings there is really no
comparison between the poco m5s and the iphone 13 of course the iphone 13 is also known to be
one of the best phones for video recordings so of course this one will do better next we're
going to move on and check out some selfies and we're starting with some daytime selfies and
well here i kind of prefer every single daytime selfie that i took with the iphone 13. the dynamic
range in those pictures is better my face my skin looks better in those pictures and so on
as for the nighttime selfies well the same kind of goes uh all the pictures are better
from the iphone 13 mostly because it has a night mode for those pictures where the
poco m5s doesn't actually have a night mode forum the selfie camera so there you have
it this is the new poco m5s what do you guys think about this phone is it worth its price
why do you even have this one because there are so many poco phones out there
yeah hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
