Over the years, smartphone screens have become sharper and sharper, performance has increased and cameras have improved considerably. But when it comes to battery capacity, it feels like things have been at a standstill for several years. The capacity of most smartphones is still around 5000 mAh. This is enough for fewer and fewer people to get through the day comfortably. POCO now wants to break through the fear of an empty smartphone battery. From 2025, the newly launched POCO X7 Pro is set to redefine battery life. This is made possible by a huge 6000 mAh battery in combination with 90 W HyperCharge. Described as the “ultimate endurance combo”, this device promises to change the market. But how did POCO achieve this breakthrough and what is the experience like in practice?
6000mAh + 90W HyperCharge: An industry-rare “ultimate stamina combo”!
There are usually two ways to increase battery capacity. Firstly, you can use larger batteries. However, these make the smartphone heavier, which reduces ease of use. Secondly, you can increase the battery density. POCO has opted for the latter and uses innovative silicon-carbon anode battery technology to increase the capacity of the POCO X7 Pro to an impressive 6000 mAh.
The weight and size of the smartphone are not noticeably increased. Compared to most competitors in the same price range, which still use 5000mAh batteries, the POCO X7 Pro offers a significantly longer battery life. Even compared to a flagship such as the Samsung Galaxy S24+, which costs just under €800, the advantage is impressive. This offers just 4900mAh.
With the same size and weight as its competitors, the POCO X7 Pro’s large battery puts an end to the fear of running out of battery. With light use, the phone lasts up to 2 days on a single charge. With intensive use, e.g. when taking photos, playing games or streaming, it will easily last a whole day. So say goodbye to bulky power banks and constant low battery warnings!
Despite the larger battery capacity, the charging time should by no means be slower. Quite the opposite. The POCO X7 Pro has 90 W HyperCharge technology, which is an upgrade over the competition. The Samsung Galaxy S24+, for example, only supports charging at 40W. Even similarly priced mid-range competitors such as the Samsung Galaxy A55 (25W charging) and the Realme 13 Pro+ (80W charging) cannot keep up.
In the test, the 6000 mAh battery of the POCO X7 Pro was charged from 0% to 100% in just 42 minutes – faster than many phones with smaller batteries! Compared to brands like Samsung or Apple, which are notorious for their slow charging speeds, this is a night and day difference. The advantages are obvious. You no longer have to charge your smartphone at night.
A quick charge during the morning routine is perfectly sufficient. This should completely change the charging habits of many users and reduce the fear of forgetting to charge. So if you are looking for a smartphone with a large battery and an ultra-fast charging function, the POCO X7 Pro is the best choice.
Introducing the latest MediaTek chipset: flagship-level performance
The POCO X7 Pro is not only characterized by exceptional battery life, but also by flagship-level performance. It features the MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Ultra, the latest flagship processor from MediaTek. The Dimensity 8400-Ultra is manufactured by TSMC using the 4nm process and is positioned as a high-end chipset.
In tests, the POCO X7 Pro achieves over 1.7 million points in the AnTuTu benchmark. For comparison: The significantly more expensive Samsung Galaxy S24+ with the Exynos 2400 achieved around 2 million points. The performance of the POCO X7 Pro is therefore remarkably close to the flagship. This promises real flagship functions at a mid-range price.
Thanks to this performance, the POCO X7 Pro is capable of handling anything you want to throw at it for gaming, photography, streaming or multitasking. There is hardly any need to worry about stutters or other performance problems. In practical tests, the Dimensity 8400-Ultra has already run demanding 3D games such as Genshin Impact with smooth full screen rates without any problems. This chipset is probably ideally suited for mobile gamers.
Flagship functions at an affordable price
The POCO X7 Pro offers first-class functions even in the mid-range.
Camera system
It is equipped with a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS, a top class CMOS sensor. Paired with the Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset, the camera delivers exceptional performance. From outdoor landscape shots to portraits with precise edge detection and even food photos, the results are consistently impressive.
In low light conditions and motion-intensive scenarios, however, the optical image stabilizer shines. Whether night-time city shots or shots of fast-moving children and pets – the POCO X7 Pro delivers sharp, vivid photos with minimal blurring. Its AI-controlled photo functions, such as Gallery AI for intelligent background changes and object removal, make image editing easy even for occasional users.
Memory
To ensure longevity and seamless multitasking, the POCO X7 Pro offers up to 12 GB RAM and 512 GB ROM. Whether you want to run multiple apps or store a huge library of photos and videos. This smartphone can handle it all effortlessly.
