The Poco X5 has been getting certified recently, which should happen soon before the official launch. But little did we know that it was already available to Cricket Stars, even if it wasn’t official yet!
Case in point: Hardik Pandya carrying what looks to be an upcoming Poco X-series device, answering calls without trying to hide it in any way. This leads us to believe that Poco and Pandya have a partnership, and if you’re a cricket fan, you may or may not be happy.
Hardik Pandya handles what looks like a Poco X5
Will we see him in the Poco X5’s advertising campaign? Or is this just product placement? Time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the Poco X5 is definitely on the way. Its release is likely imminent.
According to past leaks, the X5 will be a rebranded Redmi Note 23, using only Snapdragon 695 SoC instead of Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, while the upcoming Poco X5 Pro will be a rebranded Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed, this one retains the original Snapdragon 270G chipset.
