What’s in the box

• Poco F5 Pro, white, 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
• 67W charger (USB-A).
• USB-A to USB-C cable.
• Clear plastic case.
• SIM remover tool.
• Quick guide and warranty papers.

I bought the phone a few months after it was released and paid £409/€467/$508 directly on Xiaomi’s UK website (prices have since dropped).
