I just got my Poke5 today.
I unboxed it, opened it up and found the EDL test points within 30 minutes.
I'll have to see if I can find a Firehose loader for this.
If you disassemble this be very careful of the USB Type C connector as it relies on the case itself for physical strength.
The battery cell is the same as the Poke3, a size 255875 = 2.5 x 58 x 75 mm although the plug is different and no thermistor.

Edit: Ok, it's cute and small, but half the darn weight is all the magnetics to make the (also) heavy magnetic cover work.

Edit^2: The Poke5 can detect an "EDL cable". Whether that's detected in the PBL or the xbl abl is another question. That means if you totally brick it then just an EDL cable might not work.

Edit^3: I don't know what they've done (yet) but the fonts are much bigger than on the Poke3 for the same thing.
