We have been using the Poco X5 Pro 5G for the past couple of weeks. The design, comfort, and functionality of this phone were all fantastic. The cost, which starts at Rs 22,999, is also excellent and represents great value for money. Yet, it does have a few quirks that we shall discuss in this Poco X5 Pro 5G review.

Poco X5 Pro 5G Review: Design and Display
We have to admit that the Poco’s Yellow colour is stunning. It is a mellow yellow that is pleasant to the eye because it is not very intense. It has a matte finish that deters the accumulation of smudges and fingerprints. The design is also extremely similar to that of the Poco X4 Pro from the previous year. It features a wide camera module with the same boxy shape. Nevertheless, because the company opted for plastic construction this time around rather than glass, the smartphone does not seem extremely premium. As a result, this move has also significantly reduced weight, which now only weighs 180 grams. Triple rear cameras are placed up on a large area on the back panel. The device has an IP53 certification for splash and dust resistance.Also Read:Vivo V27 Pro Review: More than just a camera focussed smartphoneThe power button with the yellow accent that also functions as a fingerprint scanner steals the show because it operates so quickly and accurately. It should be noted that the Poco Yellow colour option only has this yellow power button, but the blue and black versions of this phone have the matching colour button.The Poco X5 Pro 5G’s 6.67-inch HD AMOLED Display boasts an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz. The screen’s maximum brightness is 900 nits, and its touch sampling rate is 240Hz. The display is HDR10+ compatible and protected by Gorilla Glass 5.The device is buttery smooth thanks to the 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate, especially when you’re scrolling through a webpage or your preferred social media app. As was already said, it has an adaptive refresh rate, thus depending on the content you are viewing, it will shift between 30, 60, 90, and 120Hz. Moreover, this lengthens battery life. We streamed 4K HDR content on YouTube, and it played flawlessly at full 4K resolution without any lag or frame drops. There is also Widevine L1 certification which streams content from OTT apps like Netflix, and Amazon videos at full definition. Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision are also supported by the phone. The brightness is quite amazing and the colours are calibrated nicely.Dual stereo speakers up the ante, but Dolby Atmos makes it much more immersive—trust us—it feels like you’re in a small theatre.We are happy to find that the headphone jack is still present — this is not a frequent thing. Now that your wired headphones are connected, you can listen to clear audio. The device also comes with an IR blaster which is such an undervalued piece of technology. You may use the Mi Remote app to operate your gadgets like your AC all the time. It is quite useful.
Poco X5 Pro 5G Review: Performance and Cameras
The Poco X5 Pro 5G is equipped with a 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Processor and an Adreno 642L GPU. It does indeed support 5G. Performance-wise, it is dependable and consistent. Multitasking, switching between apps and opening them all performed flawlessly. We didn’t experience any latency or app crashes during any of these days. Our device has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage out of the box. It supports LPDDR4X RAM, which can be increased to a maximum of 13GB by an additional 5GB using the RAM extension options. The majority of your recently used apps will remain in memory thanks to this.Also Read:OnePlus 11 review: This is what a OnePlus flagship should look likeCall of Duty was a fantastic game on this mid-range phone, and we only played it for a short while, but it was a great experience. You get gameplay that is snappy, intuitive, and very fluid. After playing nonstop for 30 minutes, the smartphone did begin to heat up, but not enough to make it unpleasant.In terms of software, MIUI 14 for Android 12 is being used. Such a good thing that we get the latest MIUI version but Android 13 along with that would have been great. To counter this, Poco has pledged to provide its smartphone with 3 years of security patches and 2 years of Android OS updates. Overall, the OS has undergone extensive optimization and is undoubtedly cleaner than previous iterations, although bloatware is still a major problem. Of course, you can remove the apps you don’t need from this list as well.Getting to the camera, Poco X5 Pro 5G boasts a triple rear camera setup, the primary one of which is a 108-megapixel ISOCELL HM2 main sensor. A 2-megapixel macro camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens are included too. A 16-megapixel selfie camera is located on the front. The back camera module can record 4K video at 30 frames per second, whereas the selfie camera can record full-HD film at 120 frames per second.daytime shotThe back camera’s daytime pictures are flawless. They provide outstanding colour reproduction and a fantastic dynamic range. The primary sensor’s clarity is just remarkable. The skies are incredibly detailed and don’t get blown up.

They generally get good detail.wide/ultrawideNow, the 2-megapixel macro images are decent. In fact, you can take pictures up close and personal.primary camera shot vs portraitIn direct sunlight, the 16-megapixel selfies do overexpose. Although the dynamic range isn’t the highest, the crispness is still excellent. Even if portrait shots have good edge recognition, they are nonetheless overexposed and very flat.indoor ligtings/night modeThe rear camera can capture 4K videos at 30 frames per second that are sharp and barely shaken. Full HD video can be captured by the front camera, however, it feels overexposed and is best used indoors.As for the battery, it has a 5,000mAh capacity and can easily power the device for a day or perhaps a day and a half under moderate use. The phone can be charged from 0 to 100% in less than an hour using the included 67-watt charger.
Verdict
If your budget is between 20 and 25K, the Poco X5 Pro 5G (price starts at Rs 22,999) checks off every requirement you have for a smartphone. It has a 120Hz AMOLED display, outstanding performance, and sturdy construction. We won’t complain too much about the user interface, but Pixel is your only option if you prefer a cleaner UI. Over that, the gaming experience won’t disappoint you. Also, the battery’s and charging performance are rather good. Beyond the software, this is a great package to purchase.

The Truke Buds A1 come packed in a squarish white box inside which you’ll find the charging case, earbuds, a Type-C USB cable, extra ear tips, a user manual, and a warranty card. The charging case and earbuds are housed in a flimsy plastic tray within the box. Truke’s packaging continues to be shoddy, but it’s something we have no problem with since the brand does not compromise on the really important aspects of the product.The pebble-shaped charging case is made out of plastic but the quality of the material used is surprisingly good. The in-hand feel of the case is quite good, certainly better than other entry-level TWS we’ve used so far. The case has a matte-like finish to it. The Truke branding can be found inside a cutout at the front of the case. This cutout has a small recess right where the lid meets the case. This makes it very easy to flip open the case with just your thumb. Below the cutout lies a solitary notification light.At the bottom of the case, you will find the USB charging port and a pairing button. We don’t usually get to see a pairing button on entry-level wireless headphones that often, but Truke continues to surprise us. Overall, the case feels quite sturdy. The simple design doesn’t seem boring and at the first glance, you wouldn’t peg Buds A1 as an entry-level product at all.The wireless earbuds get the in-ear design, which is the correct choice since Buds A1 also offers ANC. The earbuds offered us a comfortable, snug fit and we didn’t have to use the extra ear tips provided in the box. Out of the box, the earbuds are fixed with medium-sized ear tips. Two extra pairs of small and large ear tips can be found in a small pouch inside the box. The earbuds also house the touch control panels and 2 mics for ANC.Truke Buds A1 is rated IPX4 for water and dust resistance, which means the earbuds can handle water splashes without hampering their performance. We wore the earbuds while working out and while their performance was undeterred by sweat, the fit got loose on multiple occasions.
Truke Buds A1 review: Performance
The Truke Buds A1 deliver their audio output with 10mm dynamic driver units on either earbud. Bluetooth 5.3 support ensures smooth pairing without any hiccups. Most earbuds in this price range are still offering Bluetooth 5.2 or 5.1 support. The buds support both SBC and AAC codecs. There are 3 preset EQ modes on offer – Dynamic Audio, Bass Boost, and Movie Mode. A low latency mode for gaming mode makes Buds A1 a complete all-rounder. The earbuds play a notification alert every time you pair them to a device or switch between the different modes. These notification alerts sound very boxy and hard and they can amount to be annoying. Another thing we noticed was that the earbuds don’t disconnect when you place them back in the charging case. Even the music playback doesn’t pause once the buds are in the case. You will need to disconnect the buds using your smartphone in order to fix this.Moving on, the Truke Buds A1 offer a great sound profile that is definitely unmatched in this price segment. The overall sound is very bass-focused but other frequencies are not lost in the mix. The quality of sound does not feel entry-level at all, these earbuds could’ve easily been placed at a higher segment. The mix of frequencies is very pleasant.The level of detail produced by the dynamic drivers is quite impressive, although there is some room for improvement. The audio had a warm tone to it, which we found quite pleasant. If the audio is too bass-driven for you, you can switch to Dynamic Audio mode. We found the higher frequencies in Dynamic Audio mode to be somewhat shrill. The Normal mode and Bass Boost mode remained our staples during our time of use.The Gaming Mode on Buds A1 offers a low latency of 50ms which we found to be just acceptable while playing Call of Duty mobile. There were some occasional stutters but the overall experience was decent. If you’re looking for dedicated gaming earbuds, we would suggest Truke’s BTG X1.The hybrid ANC is certainly the biggest highlight of Truke Buds A1. At this price range, wireless earbuds with ANC are unheard of (no pun intended). The ANC performance was decent, with the Buds A1 being able to suppress up to 30dB of ambient noise. This is good enough to cancel out the background noise in a room, but don’t expect the same results when you’re outdoors. The earbuds were successful in suppressing the sound of chirping birds, distant footsteps, and faint voices. However, the sound of the traffic from outside was still able to filter through. Regardless, this is still a good performance in a segment where you don’t get this feature at all. Truke also offers ENC with the Buds A1, which is efficient in isolating the surrounding noise while voice calling.The only disappointing aspect of the Truke Buds A1 is the lack of app support. Currently, Truke has no app for its TWS products. This isn’t a big deal when buying entry-level products, but navigating multiple EQ presets along with ANC and transparency modes gets very confusing when you don’t have an app to help you with it. We have been using these earbuds for over a week and still can’t remember all the specific touch commands to activate different functions. Hopefully, Truke comes out with a dedicated app for its TWS products soon.With a 40mAh battery on either earbud, the Buds A1 can last up to 8 hours on a single charge. With Active ANC, this number drops down to 5-7 hours. There is an additional 300mAh battery pack in the charging case, which offers a playtime of up to 48 hours without ANC. It takes two hours to fully charge the case, while the earbuds take 90 minutes to fully charge. A quick 10-minute charge can provide 10 hours’ worth of battery to the case.Read Also:Moto G73 5G powered by MediaTek Dimensity 930 SoC launched in India
Verdict
At a price of Rs 1,499, the Truke Buds A1 seem like a no-brainer purchase. The sound profile is ideal for the segment and the presence of ANC definitely sweetens the deal. The charging case and earbuds have a good build quality that will easily last you a long time. IPX4 rating ensures resistance to water splashes. The lack of app support is the only issue we have with these earbuds, but the pros easily outweigh the cons here.

Find your Android phone using its IMEI number
Every phone, be it Android or otherwise, has a unique IMEI number that it uses to connect with nearby cellular towers. By tracking the IMEI number of your lost or stolen Android phone, you can triangulate its position with the help of the cellular tower it uses to make a call. If no call is made using the smartphone, then the IMEI number alone cannot determine its position. Another thing to note here is that only the police have the appropriate tools to track a phone by its IMEI number. So in case your phone is stolen, you will need to file an FIR of the incident and then submit a request to get your phone located.You can also use the IMEI number to block your device in case it gets lost or stolen. You can do this yourself by using the CEIR (Central Equipment Identity Register) portal launched by the GoI. Here’s how.Step 1: File a report of the missing device with the police and keep a copy of the report.Step 2: Get a duplicate SIM card for the lost number from your telecom service provider. A duplicate SIM card is necessary since CEIR requires it to send an OTP while accepting the IMEI blocking request.Step 3: Keep the police report ready, along with proof of identity. The mobile purchase invoice is also a valid document.Step 4: Go to the CEIR Portal and fill out the request form to block the IMEI number.Step 5: After submission of the request form, you will be given a Request ID. This ID can be used to track the status of the request form and unblock the IMEI if your device gets recovered in future.
Use Google’s Find My Device
Using Google’s Find My Device service is the quickest and easiest way to find the live location of your device. If your device is switched off or not connected to the Internet, Find My Device will show you the last recorded location of your smartphone. In order to track your smartphone using this service go to the Find My Device webpage and log in using your Google Account. Make sure this is the same Google Account that is logged into your lost phone. Find my Device will show you the live or last known location of your device, depending on its connection status. You can also remotely erase all the data on your smartphone using this service.Read Also:How to link AADHAAR with your PAN card?
Conclusion
These are the two quick ways to find your lost or stolen Android phone. Depending on the manufacturer, your smartphone may have a native tracking service. Samsung smartphones come with a ‘Find My Mobile’ option that can be accessed from the ‘Biometrics and Security’ section of the Settings.

While Google Play Store may be the biggest app marketplace in the world, sometimes you may be driven to other platforms for various reasons. One of the major reasons why people look beyond the Play Store is because it doesn’t list the apps that are region-locked or banned in their country. Regulation issues aside, if you’re looking for an older version of a particular app, you will have to resort to a third-party app store. In this article, we bring you the complete guide on how to download apps on your Android smartphone without using the Google Play Store.Read Also:Best ways to mirror your Android smartphone’s screen to a Windows device

Authorise installation of unknown apps
Your Android device does not encourage you to download apps from third-party sources. This is primarily because Google does not trust any other platforms other than its native Play Store. All apps on the Play Store have the necessary security certificates and any suspicious apps are swiftly taken down from the platform. However, third-party marketplaces like APKPure, APKMirror, Aptoide, and more are completely trustworthy and employ the necessary measures to keep harmful apps out of their platforms. The Android OS on your device demands authorisation from your when installing an app from a third-party source. Here’s how you can do it.Step 1: Go to Settings and select ‘Biometrics and Security’.Step 2: Tap on ‘Install unknown apps’.
Step 3: Scroll to the app you used to download the APK. You may have downloaded the APK from a web browser or received it via WhatsApp or Telegram.Step 3: Turn on the toggle switch next to the relevant app.
Download the APK file from a third-party marketplace
If you have set your sight beyond the Google Play Store, there are a bunch of safe and secure marketplaces you can use to download your favourite apps. The process of downloading an app from a source other than the authorised marketplace is called ‘sideloading’. These are some of the best sites for safe APK downloads.
APKMirror: Outside of the Play Store, APKMirror is the most popular marketplace for Android apps. It is also one of the most secure places to download APK files. The platform verifies all APK files before publishing them. APKMirror uses cryptographic signatures to identify verified developers and restricts any duplicates. Newer apps are verified by looking into the developer’s profile and matching the signature to the other apps they have published.
APKPure: APKPure has its own rigorous set of tests to ensure that no malicious or harmful APKs get published on the platform. Apart from cryptographic signatures, APKPure also uses SHA certificates to secure the marketplace.
Aptoide: With over 1 million apps on the platform and 300 million users worldwide, Aptoide is one of the biggest app marketplaces outside of the Google Play Store. A study from Waseda University in Japan rated Aptoide as the safest third-party app store in the world. The store’s malware detection tools are some of the most efficient among all marketplaces.
F-Droid: Being an open-source project, F-Droid is as secure as it gets for third-party app stores. One of the better parts of using F-Droid is that you don’t need an account to download an APK from the marketplace. F-Droid also hosts open-source apps that cannot be found in the Google Play Store.
APKHere: If you need to gain access to an app that is local to a foreign country, APKHere is the place to go. Some local apps may be region-locked on Google Play Store, making it hard to install them on your device. APKHere has a treasure trove of apps in foreign languages that can be downloaded with just a tap.
Install the app on your device
While Google Play Store automatically installs the apps you download from it, third-party marketplaces simply download the APK file, leaving you to install them to your device on your own. Here’s how you can install an APK file on your device.Step 1: Go to the third-party app store and download the APK file.Step 2: Access the downloaded APK file from the notification bar. You can also go to the File Manager on your smartphone and look for the APK in the Downloads folder.Step 3: Open the APK file. This is where Android will ask if you want to allow third-party installations to your device from the app you used to download the APK. If you haven’t given the necessary permission already, do it now. Step 4: Proceed to install the APK file. Once installed, the app can be accessed from the app drawer.Read Also:Samsung announced exciting deals and offers on the Galaxy S23 series in India
