In daylight conditions, the main camera produces impressive sharpness, wide dynamic range, and vibrant colors. Even the 2x zoom mode showcases commendable detail and minimal loss of sharpness, with the added advantage of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). However, the 8MP ultrawide camera performs admirably in good lighting, surpassing typical midrange expectations.
As the sun sets, the Poco F5’s main camera continues to excel, capturing sharp images with fine detail and ample dynamic range. The Night mode enhances dynamic range, corrects clipped highlights, and introduces richer colors. On the downside, the ultrawide camera struggles in low-light conditions, delivering subpar images even with Night mode.
