Poco X5 Pro 5G India launch date is out. Xiaomi spin-off brand Poco will launch the Poco X5 Pro in India on February 6, 2023. That’s a day before OnePlus’s high-profile “cloud 11” OnePlus 11 launch event. In India, the phone will be launched via livestream starting at 5:30PM. Interestingly, Poco is holding another event globally for the launch of the same phone but there, the vanilla Poco X5 5G will also tag along. We’re yet to get official confirmation on Poco’s plans to launch the Poco X5 in India.

Just days ago, the Poco X5 Pro 5G India launch date was spotted during a screening of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan. Turns out the ad placement was spot on. Poco India head Himanshu Tandon had previously confirmed that the Poco X5 series was headed to India sometime in January-February, 2023 so the launch window is well within that the stipulated time frame. The Poco X5 Pro will be successor to the Poco X4 Pro from last year.
