In the recent past, the Poco X5 has been spotted in FCC and BIS listings in preparation for its formal launch, which should take place in the near future. However, we had no idea that famous cricket players already had access to it, despite the fact that it is not yet official.

To illustrate this point, here is a picture of Hardik Pandya taking a call on what appears to be the next X-series gadget from Poco. Hardik makes no attempt to conceal the fact that he is using the device in any manner. Because of this, we are led to assume that Poco and Pandya are currently working together, which, depending on how you feel about cricket, might make you either pleased or unhappy.

One thing is certain at this point: the Poco X5 is going to be released for sure. And its debut could very well be on the horizon.

According to previous leaks, the Poco X5 will be a rebranded Redmi Note 12 using the Snapdragon 695 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset. At the same time, the Poco X5 Pro, which is also set to launch soon, will be a rebranded Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed, but it will keep the Snapdragon 778G chipset that was present in the original.
