The new POCO F5 model number is “M11A” according to xiaomiui.net, but Xiaomi seems to have made some changes. The model number of this smartphone is shown in the IMEI database as “23013PC75G”. This means 23 = 2023, 01 = January, PC = POCO, 75 = M11A and G = Global. Normally, the device model number would be “23011311AG”. The new POCO smartphone will therefore be available in the international, Indian and Chinese regional markets. It will first be launched in China as the Redmi K60 (model number 23013RK75C) and later on will appear in other markets around the world as the POCO F5.
The POCO F5, codenamed (Mondrian, M11A), features a 2K resolution (1440*3200) AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It can reach a brightness of 1000 nits for a better visual experience.
The POCO F5 phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. This is a significant performance boost compared to the Snapdragon 870 in the POCO F4. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip is powered by TSMC’s 4nm technology and features an 8-core CPU setup clocked at up to 3.2GHz and a 900MHz Adreno 730 GPU.
