Tandon added that the upcoming Poco F5 5G will be powered by the new 4nm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 5G chipset, which was already announced by Snapdragon. Tandon claims that the phone has an AnTuTu score of nearly a million. The display panel of the handset is claimed to be the best in the segment with a 93 percent scree-to-body ratio and very narrow bezels, with a centre-aligned hole-punch slot to house the front camera at the top of the display.
The camera modules at the back of the phone are seen to be marked by a turbine-like design. The triple rear camera unit of the Poco F5 5G India variant will include a 64-megapixel primary sensor as seen in the text written on the camera module.

The new Snapdragon 7 series SoC could be paired with an Adreno 725 GPU, and boot Android 13 with MIUI 14 on top.
The primary rear sensor of the Poco F5 5G is likely to be accompanied by an 8-megapixel sensor with ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2-megapixel sensor with a macro lens. The front camera could be equipped with a 16-megapixel sensor. The phone, expected to be a rebranded Redmi K60, is likely to be backed by a 5,000mAh battery unit with 67W fast charging support.
