The Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro, the latest addition to the Poco series, offers impressive specs at a great price. Combining a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, a powerful Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset, and a battery that can keep up with even the most demanding days, this device is aimed at those who don't want to spend a fortune on a great mobile experience. But is it really as perfect as the numbers suggest?
Xiaomi has become synonymous with “the most for the least money” in recent years. Their Poco series is perfect for anyone who dreams of flagship specs but gets teary-eyed when they see the price of the competition. This year, they are taking to the stage Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro, which promises it all: a stunning display, top-notch performance, and a battery that's not afraid of even a marathon scroll through TikTok. Even the standard IP69 is supported in some markets.
But is this really the new king of the mid-range? Or is it just another device that hides behind shiny numbers in the box but disappoints in real life?
Who needs such a powerful battery?
Let's start with the battery – 6000 mAh (global version) respectively 6550 mAh (Indian version)If that number isn't enough to grab your attention, let's just say that this phone can last a full day, even when you're overloading it with demanding games, photo editing, and endless video calls. Even more impressive is the fast charging - with 90W wired support The phone is fully charged in less than 45 minutes. If you are in a hurry, this is a real lifesaver.

But let's be real, do you really need a battery that lasts a whole day and a half? Probably not – but it's still nice to know that it won't let you down during a busy weekend.Display: AMOLED spectacle with 120 Hz
This is where the Poco X7 Pro really shines. 6.67-inch AMOLED display with stunning colors, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ standards, and 3200 nits of maximum brightness is a true paradise for content lovers. Netflix? Looks superb. Games? Smooth as butter, thanks to 120 Hz refresh rateReading books on your phone will also be a real treat – although, let's face it, few people actually do that.
A small drawback is the resolution. Although 1220 x 2712 pixels It offers nice sharpness, but it's less than the true 1440p offered by premium phones. But at this price, that's forgivable.
Performance: Dimensity 8400 Ultra for the win
When it comes to performance, the Poco X7 Pro is no slouch. MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra, manufactured in an advanced 4nm process, enables smooth operation even in the most demanding applications. With the combination of 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM and UFS 4.0 storage phone flies. Results on tests such as AnTuTu (1,568,331) and GeekBench (6311), they only confirm this.
But… if you’re a hardcore gamer, there’s just one thing that might bother you: there’s no microSD card support. So if you run out of space, you’ll have to juggle between apps and recordings.
Camera: Good enough for TikTok, maybe a little less so for Instagram
The rear camera is a combination 50 MP main sensor and 8 MP ultra-wide lens. Photos are bright, full of color, and have enough detail for most users. Video recording in 4K at 60fps It's impressive, especially with the added OIS stabilization. But if you're really into mobile photography, you might notice some shortcomings in low light - despite the large f/1.5 aperture.
Front 20MP camera It's solid, but you'd like a larger sensor for better sharpness. But hey, your selfies will still get enough likes.
Disadvantages? Every phone has them
For a phone that costs around €350, it's hard to be too critical, but a few things could be more refined:
- Plastic back. Although the phone offers a version with eco-leather, the plastic design doesn't feel particularly premium.
- HyperOS 2.0. Although it is based on Android 15, it may not be to everyone's taste - sometimes Xiaomi's additional customizations are too "Chinese" for a global audience.
Who is this phone for?
The Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro is perfect for those looking for the most performance for their money. It's ideal for young people, content creators, casual gamers, and anyone who doesn't like to overpay for a brand. However, if you're looking for a more premium feel or a top-notch camera, then you might want to look elsewhere - and deeper into your wallet.
Conclusion: Shifting the boundaries of the middle class?
The Poco X7 Pro is another Xiaomi masterpiece that clearly sets new standards for mid-range phones. It offers more than you would expect for its price, and makes rivals like Samsung, OnePlus, or even Google grit their teeth a little.
But ultimately, this is still a phone for the average user – and that's where it really shines. But if you're looking for a device that will act as a status symbol, you'll need to look for something a little more luxurious.
