Poco is expected to soon unveil its new M5 series of smartphones. The lineup is said to include the vanilla Poco M5 and the Poco M5s, which could be a rebranded Redmi Note 10S. These models have been reportedly making the rounds at various certification sites. Now, a reliable tipster has spotted the vanilla Poco M5 on Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) website. Interestingly, the listed handset appears to be a 4G device. However, the NBTC listing does not reveal any other specifications of the smartphone.

The purported Poco M5 bearing the model number 22071219CG was spotted on the NBTC database by tipster Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings). This seemingly confirms that the handset would be making its way to Thailand. The company is yet to announce any details of the smartphone, including pricing and specifications.

According to a recent report, the same Poco handset along with another model — 22071219CI — also surfaced on the IMEI, US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) databases.
