The device comes with a 64MP main camera with Omnivision OV64B sensor, f/1.8 aperture, and 6P lens. The camera setup also features an 8MP ultra-wide-angle shooter with 120-degree field of view (FoV) and a 2MP macro camera. The camera setup of the F5 Pro supports OIS+EIS, which makes it more appealing to camera enthusiasts.

With a 16MP sensor, the selfie camera inside the punch-hole is limited to 1080p video recording. The Poco F5 Pro features the LiquidCool VC technology, which is a combination of stainless steel vapor chambers and graphite layers that improve heat conductivity by up to 15% compared to previous Poco F smartphones.

Despite having a lower battery capacity of 5,160 mAh compared to the Redmi K60's 5,500 mAh cell, the Poco F5 Pro features 67W wired charging and 30W wireless charging.
