The first noticeable thing about the phone is how it looks quite different from its predecessor X6 Pro.

Poco X7 Pro 5G – Pros & Cons

Poco X7 Pro 5G – Unboxing

Poco X7 Pro 5G – Design and Build Quality

The Poco X7 Pro design language is simplistic. The phone has a boxy body with rounded edges and sharp sides. We had the Black-Yellow dual tone variant for this review and it is very eye-catching. The leather finish back panel looks stylish with golden Poco branding and other golden elements.

The camera module is the simplest you would find in modern phones. We liked the fact that Poco has kept it simple when most brands show all their creativity in that module itself. The two lenses positioned vertically on the left top corner almost blend into the back. Meanwhile, the golden rings around the lens make them look quite attention-grabbing.

X7 Pro is extremely lightweight and sports a slim profile, which is commendable considering this phone comes with a massive battery size. In fact, the brand claims this is India’s slimmest and lightest phone with a large battery. And you really do feel it when you hold the phone in your hand.

The build quality is decent. While Poco hasn’t clearly specified, it looks and feels like regular polycarbonate material.

Poco has got an IP66 + IP68 + IP69* (supported) rating for the device, which means you can be worry-free when outside with decent protection against water and dust. It also has Wet Touch 2.0 technology that allows users to use the phone even with damp fingers.

Poco X7 Pro 5G – Display

If you are like us, display plays a huge role in forming an opinion about any smartphone. Poco has done a great job in the display department this time. X7 Pro comes with a 6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED flat display with a 120Hz adaptive sync refresh rate and Dolby Vision support.

This punch-hole display with slim bezels on all sides is perfect for both streaming and graphic-heavy gaming.

The colours appear vibrant as the screen reproduces 68.7 billion colours with complete accuracy and sharpness.

We felt the adaptive HDR feature makes the display feel even more crisp as adapts to various lighting conditions perfectly well.

We didn’t experience any lag in responsiveness while using the phone. The scrolling feels smooth, thanks to the 120Hz adaptive sync refresh rate paired with a 240Hz touch sampling rate. Moreover, the Gamer Turbo mode has 2560Hz instantaneous touch sampling for precise control on the display in fast-paced games.

The viewing angles are also great on X7 Pro. The visuals appear absolutely clear even from the side.

The screen is complemented by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, which means you can use it without thinking too much about scratches and drops. Plus, it is a TÜV Rheinland-certified display and will provide the required protection to your eyes with low blue light emission and flicker-free operation.

Overall, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the display is one of the major highlights of the X7 Pro.

Poco X7 Pro 5G – Performance

Poco X7 is the first smartphone to bring the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra processor to the market. Built on a flagship 4nm TSMC process, the processor promises a 20% improvement in CPU and GPU performance compared to its predecessor.

The phone is flagship level when it comes to performance. First of all, it is perfect for those pro users who are more into multitasking. The app loading times are minimal and it smoothly transitions from one task to another without any hands even when several background apps are working together. The phone is more than capable of handling all your daily apps and regular tasks effortlessly.

Gaming on the phone was a smooth experience. We tried playing some graphic-heavy games and there were no noticeable lags or delays. The heating was also minimal and was only felt during long gaming sessions, which is understandable.

We tested the device on multiple benchmarking platforms and it performed fairly well in all tests. Below are the relevant benchmark results for reference.

The phone comes with Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15. We felt the software was properly optimised and had a clean, fluid experience. It does have too many pre-loaded third-party apps that can be bit a annoying initially as you will have to uninstall what you don’t need manually.

Plus, Poco will provide 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches. So, you can actually rely on the device for a few years.

Poco X7 Pro 5G – Camera Performance

The Poco X7 Pro camera is impressive. While on paper, the camera setup is a cutback from its predecessor.

We are getting a dual-lens setup with a 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens this time. However, the results don’t feel like a cutback at all. The camera setup ensures you get sharper photos.

The colours appear natural with some extra sharpness that only enhances the overall shots.

There is good clarity in every picture captured. The low-light photography performance is decent. We tried taking some shots in minimum light and the photos came out looking quite similar to the real scene.

The 20MP front-facing camera delivers vibrant selfies and it comes with AI Beauty features that can enhance the photos by improving skin tone, hairline, face contour, makeup, face shape, head size and more.

The camera can shoot 4K videos @60fps. It also has OIS and EIS support that help in getting stable pictures and videos. We tried recording videos in different environments with different lighting conditions. The recordings came out quite well with proper clarity.

Overall, this is a good camera for both casual and professional users.

Poco X7 Pro 5G – Battery

The X7 Pro packs a large 6550mAh battery, which is quite an offer for Poco to make in the price segment. The battery comes with Silicon Carbon and a solid electrolyte technology optimised to provide maximum output without necessarily increasing the thickness of the phone.

The battery size is enough to provide almost one and a half days of power with normal to medium-heavy usage.

Moreover, it is paired with 90W HyperCharge support. The good thing is that Poco is providing the 90W adapter inside the box.

So, you can actually utilise the fast charging capability to its fullest. Using the provided adapter, it took us about 25 minutes to get almost 90% charge from under 25%.

Verdict – Should You Buy Poco X7 Pro 5G?

Poco X7 Pro is an excellent choice for those who want flagship-level performance from their phone with impressive battery life and a fantastic display experience.

The processor performance is good and the camera system does the job it promises. We wish the camera system was a little more versatile, but nonetheless, it is not a dealbreaker in any sense. The best thing is that it doesn’t come with a big price tag.
