The purported Poco M5 was previously spotted on Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) website as well. The Poco M5 could be powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 SoC.

As per the leak, the certification was issued for the handset on July 15. The screenshots, however, don't suggest any specifications of the device.
