As the “gatekeeper” of its price segment, the X series from POCO has always lived up to its reputation. Not only does it offer the best price/performance ratio in its class, it also has flagship-level features that allow it to challenge high-end appliances. After a year, the POCO X7 series returns with significant upgrades. From the long-lasting 6000 mAh battery to the use of the Sony IMX882, the POCO X7 series is packed with features that rival today’s flagship phones. But how strong is it really? And what are its standout highlights?
POCO X7 Pro: The flagship challenger
For POCO fans, the “best-in-class configuration” is one of the most important reasons why they choose the brand. The X7 series is no exception and not only dominates its price range, but also challenges premium flagships.
Over 1.7 million in the benchmark: performance at flagship level
Last year, the POCO X6 Pro dominated its segment with the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset. This year, the POCO X7 Pro sets new standards with the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra. This is currently one of the most advanced processors on the market.
This flagship chipset achieves more than 1.7 million points in the AnTuTu benchmark. It even rivals the Samsung Galaxy S24+ with its powerful Exynos 2400 processor. The POCO X7 Pro offers outstanding performance for a device in this price range.
Compared to the mid-range competition with Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 or Snapdragon 7s Gen2, the POCO X7 Pro offers twice the performance and leaves them far behind. In practice, the Dimensity 8400 Ultra shows its best side. Demanding 3D games such as Genshin Impact run at full frame rate without breaking a sweat.
This means that the smartphone can handle every mobile game on the market, making it perfect for gamers. In addition, the HyperOS 2.0 system has been fully optimized for energy efficiency and performance. It ensures smooth multitasking, reduces overheating and eliminates lags.
So you can look forward to butter-smooth performance even during intensive use. For power users, the POCO X7 Pro is equipped with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage space, offering plenty of room for multitasking and storing apps, photos and videos.
6000mAh battery + 90W HyperCharge: The ultimate battery combination
The most notable upgrade to the X7 Pro is its 6000mAh battery, a rarity in the market where most smartphones stick to 4000-5000mAh capacities. With this massive battery, the phone will last up to 2 days of light use, and even heavy users can make a full day’s worth of calls without worrying about running out of power.
The battery is almost empty? No problem! The 90 W HyperCharge technology ensures that the cell phone is charged from 0% to 100% in just 42 minutes. This combination of a large battery and ultra-fast charging makes the X7 Pro the perfect choice for frequent users or people who constantly suffer from battery worries.
Flagship features across the board
POCO is committed to making flagship features accessible to everyone, and the POCO X7 Pro is no exception.
- 50MP Sony IMX882 camera with OIS: The phone’s flagship camera sensor, paired with optical image stabilization (OIS), ensures stunning photos and videos in all lighting conditions. From sharp night shots to fast-moving subjects, the POCO X7 Pro delivers consistently high-quality results.
- AI in the gallery: Intelligent tools such as background removal, object deletion and intelligent upscaling make photo editing easy and fun, even for beginners.
- IP68 water and dust resistant: The POCO X7 Pro is water and dust resistant and can withstand accidental spills, rain or dusty environments.
POCO X7: The all-rounder champion
While the POCO X7 Pro focuses on extreme performance, the POCO X7 offers a more balanced package aimed at those who want a well-rounded experience.
Triple camera system with OIS
The POCO X7 has the same 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS as the Pro model, which guarantees excellent photo quality. It also has two additional lenses for wide-angle and macro shots, making it versatile enough for different shooting situations.
Reliable performance and battery life
The POCO X7 is powered by a MediaTek 7300 Ultra chipset and achieves an AnTuTu score of 690,000. Although it does not match the performance of the X7 Pro, it is the strongest in its segment and offers smooth multitasking and efficient power consumption.
The phone also features a 5110 mAh battery with 45W fast charging, ensuring all-day battery life and fast charging when needed.
Why the POCO X7 series stands out from the rest
