Poco X5 Pro vs Poco X4 Pro: Xiaomi finally puts performance back on the table – NotebookCheck.net News

The Poco X4 Pro received a lot of flak when it launched last year for its poor performance compared to its predecessor, the Poco X3 Pro. Xiaomi has now fixed that by equipping the Poco X5 Pro with a more powerful chipset, and here we take a look at the performance numbers of the two popular mid-range phones.

Xiaomi debuted the Poco X5 Pro about a month ago across the globe. While the mid-range phone maintains most of the specs of its predecessor, the Poco X4 Pro 5G, it arrives with a new chipset, with its Snapdragon 778G offering a performance upgrade over the Snapdragon 695—but how much exactly?

Starting with Geekbench 5.4, the Snapdragon 778G on the Poco X5 Pro typically records a single-core score of about 780. On the multi-core test, the mid-range chipset averages a score of 2871 in our tests. Comparatively, the Snapdragon 695 on last year’s Poco X4 Pro only averages a result of 678 in the single-core test, and 1916 in the multi-core one. Those numbers see the Poco X5 Pro and its Snapdragon 778G with a significant CPU advantage over the Poco X4 Pro—about a 30% average performance upgrade, to be exact.

In the GPU department, the Snapdragon 778G achieves an average score of 4686 in 3DMark’s Sling Shot Extreme (ES 3.1) Unlimited Physics test. The Snapdragon 695 averages 3463 in the same test. Again, about a 30% advantage to the Poco X5 Pro and its Snapdragon 778G.

It’s fair to say that the Poco X5 Pro offers a solid performance upgrade on the Poco X4 Pro. Sadly, though, that’s only the case because Xiaomi downgraded the Poco X4 Pro’s performance so much from its predecessor, the Poco X3 Pro, which debuted with a Snapdragon 860 two years ago. That said, though, the Snapdragon 778G also manages to edge out the Snapdragon 860 in both CPU and GPU tests, by incredibly tight margins.

Buy the Poco X5 Pro on Amazon.
