Poco X7 Pro: Performance Meets Elegance
The Poco X7 Pro is built on the robust foundation of the Redmi Turbo 4. It packs a punch with the Dimensity 8400 chipset, complemented by a stunning 6.67" AMOLED display. Users will enjoy a silky-smooth experience thanks to the 120 Hz refresh rate and dazzling peak brightness of up to 3,200 nits, all safeguarded by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Photography enthusiasts will adore the Pro's impressive camera setup. Featuring a 50 MP main sensor equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Sony’s IMX882 sensor, along with an 8 MP ultra-wide lens, your photos are guaranteed to shine. For selfies, a 20 MP front camera awaits to capture your best angles.
Battery life won't be an issue with the Poco X7 Pro, boasting a formidable 6,000 mAh battery (6,500 mAh in Indian models) capable of rapid charging via 90W wired technology — going from 0 to 100% in just 42 minutes! Plus, Xiaomi assures that the battery retains 90% of its capacity after 1,000 cycles, ensuring reliability even in frigid conditions.
What sets the Poco X7 Pro apart is its HyperOS 2, based on Android 15, integrating cutting-edge AI features like AI Erase Pro, AI Image Expansion, and the pre-installed Google Gemini app for enhanced productivity.
The smartphone isn’t just about looks and power — it’s also equipped with IP68 water and dust resistance, NFC capabilities, an IR blaster, and dual-frequency GPS. Security is at the forefront with an under-display fingerprint scanner and dual SIM support.
You'll have options to choose from three vibrant colors — Green, Black, and Yellow (the latter made from vegan leather) and various memory configurations including 8/256 GB, 12/256 GB, and 12/512 GB.
Poco X7: A Solid Companion
Meanwhile, the Poco X7 presents itself as a strong contender powered by the Dimensity 7300. It shares the same 6.67" AMOLED display with a remarkable 120 Hz refresh rate, but compromises on durability with Gorilla Glass 7i protection.
The camera enhancements continue with a triple setup: a 50 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera, alongside the ever-present 20 MP selfie shooter. While it draws parallels to the Redmi Note 14 Pro, the X7's battery capacity is rated at 5,110 mAh with a respectable 45W charging support. After 1,600 cycles, the battery is expected to hold 80% of its original capacity — perfect for long-term use.
Unfortunately, the X7 comes equipped with the initial iteration of HyperOS, which does not include generative AI features like its Pro counterpart. Nonetheless, it shares the same level of IP68 certification, NFC capabilities, and an under-display fingerprint scanner.
Color options remain fun with Silver, Green, Black, and the vibrant Yellow. Memory configurations range from 8/128 GB to 12/512 GB using LPDDR4X RAM with UFS 2.2 storage.
