Poco has kept it simple and contemporary with the latest offering, a glass back that shines brightly in light, and a metal chassis that lends an air of sophistication to the device. Talking about colors, the smartphone looks visually appealing in some of its vibrant color options.
The design centers around a 6.7-inch AMOLED display. The Full HD+ resolution (2400×1080 pixels) will also do wonders for videos, your favorite games, and anything in between.

Performance: Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 for Seamless Multitasking
The Poco X7 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chip under the hood, a Qualcomm upper-midrange processor. The chip runs the phone smoothly for everything from everyday browsing and social media to intensive gaming and video editing.
The device supports multitasking well with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM. Be it juggling between multiple applications or engaging demanding programs, there was no sight of the X7 Pro dropping its performance. Moreover, 256 GB of inbuilt storage comes with the phone which is more than sufficient for any user. Nevertheless, if you need more space the device does come with a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
The gaming experience on the Poco X7 Pro is great because of the Adreno 730 GPU that runs more graphics-intensive games like PUBG, Call of Duty Mobile, and Genshin Impact without any stammers. This time around, the LiquidCool Technology 2.0 is designed as a solution that helps keep the system running cool at all times (to ward off any overheating), especially under long gaming periods.
Camera System: Versatile Shooters for Every Occasion
The Poco X7 Pro has a triple camera setup on the back with a 64MP primary sensor. In well-lighted conditions, this camera does well and provides sharp and detailed mimic shots. The camera catches more light, thanks to the bigger sensor size, which helps with low-light photography. There is a night mode option also for capturing night photos that look good without so much noise, which is great news for photo nerds.
The main sensor is accompanied by a 13MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro camera. Meanwhile, the ultra-wide lens is great for landscapes and photo shoots where you need to capture a larger field of view, as well as the macro lens lets you get close and detailed shots with flowers and small objects. The macro is kind of a novelty, as 2MP resolution does not provide good detail at all the way some users might expect it would.
There is a 16MP selfie camera on the front, and it does a good job for video calls and selfies. Some of the features are AI Beautification and portrait mode which can make stock selfies stand out with bokeh effects.
Battery Life: Power That Lasts All Day
When it comes to battery life Poco has always been on the front foot, and the X7 Pro is no different. There is a 5,100mAh battery under the hood to keep things chugging along throughout the day while using the phone heavily.

Coming to the charging aspect, the Poco X7 Pro gets 67W fast charging which can juice up the device from 0 to full roughly in 45 minutes. That, combined with the old-school fast charging design and other efficiencies made possible by iOS 13, is an epic feature for those users who carry their phones everywhere out of the house.
Software and User Interface: MIUI with a Poco Twist

But, just like with most Xiaomi and Poco devices, the MIUI experience comes pre-loaded with some apps that not all users might find useful. The good news is that for the most part, these are apps you can uninstall or at least disable and keep a clean interface.
Pricing and Offers: An Affordable Flagship Experience
The Poco X7 Pro is also a 5G phone, with the biggest killer feature being its price. It is arguably the best value out there, starting at about $400 and boasting quite a few high-end features. Poco is renowned for offering flagship-level performance at an affordable price, and the X7 Pro carries on that tradition.
Poco also tends to bring in several offers and discounts, most of them during launch events or holidays. Buyers will get discounts, exchange offers, and combo deals that come with additional accessories like Poco’s earphones or cases at lowered prices.
Verdict: Is the Poco X7 Pro Worth It?
Poco X7 Pro is an all-rounder that qualifies where required for most consumers in a mid-range device like this one. It offers great design, display, and performance above its price point and it is there alongside fast charging thumb to the nose with a versatile camera system that chews up the gnarliest of JPEGs for breakfast, washes them down with low-light shots fresh out the box while swigging on a big can of battery.
That said, this device is not perfect, but it’s still surprising for the price and they’re minor issues including pre-installed apps and a disappointing macro camera. In terms of pure experience, the Poco X7 Pro easily rivals devices that are priced higher and hence is a top pick in the budget segment mapped By Security Researchers.
