The Poco X7 Pro 5G, launched in early 2025, raises the bar for mid-range smartphones. With a premium display, powerful processor, solid battery life, and a clean design, it targets users who want a flagship-like experience without breaking the bank.
Design and Display
The Poco X7 Pro 5G sports a large 6.73-inch flat AMOLED display with a crisp 1.5K resolution. The 120 Hz refresh rate, paired with a 240 Hz touch sampling rate and up to 2560 Hz instantaneous touch response, ensures ultra-smooth performance whether you’re gaming or scrolling. The screen supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, offering deep contrast and vivid colors. With a peak brightness of 3200 nits, visibility is excellent even in direct sunlight.
In terms of build, the phone features Gorilla Glass 7i on the front and back, and the body is certified with IP69 water and dust resistance. It strikes a nice balance between durability and style, and is available in striking color options to suit different tastes.
Performance and Software
Powering the Poco X7 Pro 5G is the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset, built on a 4nm architecture. It comes with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, making multitasking, gaming, and heavy app use fluid and fast. The Mali-G720 MC7 GPU handles graphics smoothly, even for demanding games.
The phone runs HyperOS based on Android 15. It is the first Poco device in India to launch with this version and comes with three years of OS updates and four years of security patches. While the software is clean and responsive, some pre-installed apps and minor ads may be present, though they can be disabled easily.
Camera System
The Poco X7 Pro 5G features a dual-camera setup on the rear. The main camera is a 50 MP Sony LYT-600 sensor with optical and electronic image stabilization. Accompanying it is an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The main sensor captures detailed photos with accurate colors and good dynamic range in both daylight and low-light scenarios. Night mode improves low-light performance significantly.
The ultra-wide lens is useful for group shots and landscapes, though it lacks the sharpness and color balance of the main camera. The front houses a 20 MP selfie camera, which performs well in daylight but is average in low-light situations.
Video recording supports up to 4K at 60 frames per second with decent stabilization from the main lens.
Battery and Charging
One of the standout features is the massive 6,550 mAh battery (6,000 mAh in global models), which comfortably lasts a full day and beyond. In moderate usage, users can expect over 10 hours of screen-on time. Even with heavy tasks like gaming or video streaming, the phone holds up exceptionally well.
Charging is handled by 90W fast charging support, with a full charge taking under 45 minutes. The included charger can take the battery from zero to 50 percent in just about 18 to 20 minutes, making it ideal for users who are always on the move.
Additional Features
Other notable features include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, an in-display fingerprint sensor, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, an IR blaster, and vapor chamber cooling for better thermal management. The phone also includes certifications for low blue light and flicker-free display, reducing eye strain during extended use.
