Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro in Test

A lot of power and a very stylish design: Poco X7 Pro provides a lot in relatively low money. The test shows how good the mid-range smartphone is.

Xiaomi’s Poco series has been offering smartphones with a particularly strong price-demonstration ratio over the years. The new Poco X7 Pro is no exception and provides strong performance in a very stylish package. This affordable smartphone is also waterproof. In this test report, we tell where Poco affects and where there is a problem.

The pro model of Poco’s X series has attracted attention to its attractive design in the past. If you like something more subtle with Poco, choose a light green or black version. Poco X7 Pro is definitely one of the most stylish smartphones in the market.

The back part is covered with a material that reminds of fake leather. It feels comfortable, soft and warm. This, however, is made of frame plastic. The angular design is very simple, almost minimal. In addition to a two-tone fake leather look, another attention is two large lens camera modules. The power button of gold also looks different from the rest.

With dimensions of 160.8 × 75.2 × 8.3 mm, the diluted cell phone is quite heavy and not suitable for one hand use. At 195 grams, it is still light according to its size. The workmanship is at the top position and there are no gaps or waisting buttons. It also has IP68 certification, which means that the smartphone is waterproof. The erstwhile was satisfied with the splatter water conservation according to the IP54. This is notable in this price range.

The 6.67-inch diagonal OLED display has stunning high resolution in terms of price. At 2712 × 1220 pixels, the display gives very fast display with 446 PPI. Till recently, it was nothing but given in this price range. The fresh rate is 120 Hz and creates a smooth image. The image quality is also excellent and is almost at the flagship level. The display is certainly bright enough and can also be read in sunlight out. Xiaomi is talking about potential brightness more than a maximum of 3000 knots.

Compared to its predecessor, dual camera is slightly different in terms of features. Primary camera (Sensor: Sony IMX882) Now offers a 50 -megapixel resolution with F/1.5 aperture including optical image stabilization (OIS). There is also a wide-angle lens with 8 megapixels and f/2.2. Lens with 20 megapixels and f/2.2 is used for selfie.

The main camera connects four pixels into one using pixel bining, resulting in images with 12.5 megapixel resolution. Alternatively, a full resolution of 50 megapixels can be used. During the day, the Poco X7 Pro takes good photos with enough image details and a consistent dynamic range with realistic color reproduction. Digital zoom still looks enough on 2x magnification. The image in the event of poor lighting is noise, but the main camera still gives good results to the price range.

The wide-angle lens is very different in the case of color and provides a clear yellow color, while the image description and dynamic range are quite rare. Selfie looks quite sharp and good and bokes are also good in portrait mode. The main camera can record up to 4K videos at 60 FPS, which also looks well stable. But when it comes to the focus of the video, there is scope for improvement.

The Poco X7 Pro is equipped with the new MediaTek dimensions 8400-Altra. 8300 in its predecessor was already quite strong, and the new chipset is even stronger. This means that the operating system runs very smoothly. The X7 Pro has more power than enough for every imaginable purpose, including gaming.

With PCmark Work 4.0 we scored about 14,500 marks, this is 4000 points with 3 DIMRC Wildlife Extreme – which roughly corresponds to the level of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. This is about 6600 points with 3 demmark solar bay. The performance is relatively stable, we gained 65 percent efficiency in the Wildlife Extreme Stress Test. According to the benchmark, the device was hot but not too hot.

When it comes to wireless connectivity, everything is updated with infrared ports of Bluetooth 5.4, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and Xiaomi. Poco X7 Pro location uses GPS, Glonas, Beidau, Galileo and Nevik for accuracy. About 3 meters. Only the connection provides the slow USB -C 2.0 – which is still standard in this price range. The fingerprint reader is located within the display and performs reliable work. Stereo speakers also provide good and clear sound. The quality of the voice was also assured while calling.

The new Hyper OS 2 based on Android 15 is already running on Poco for our taste, it has a lot of blotware already installed. Xiaomi gives users some AI features for image editing (eg eraser, anti-reflex coating) as well as notes and translation. At the time of testing, the patch was from December; An update should come soon.

The 6000 mAh battery is quite a declaration. PCmark’s battery test confirms good battery life with a result of about 13 hours. This means that with general use, the smartphone can last for two days without a charger in everyday life. Xiaomi has no longer included it to prevent electronic waste. On the one hand, it is commendable, but on the other hand, you cannot charge it as soon as possible from a traditional charger. Because Poco X7 Pro is also charged up to 90 watt. This will recharge the battery in about 45 minutes. But wireless charging is not part of the list of performances.

Poco X7 Pro with 8/256 GB has RRP 370 euro, it is 400 euros with 12/256 GB and about 430 euros with 12/512 GB. The smallest memory model is currently the cheapest on ebay 310 EuroThis is with 12/256 GB 349 EuroLarge memory is given 370 EuroIron Man version is interesting for Marvel fans – but it also includes 450 Euro Quite expensive.

Poco X7 Pro provides a lot for a managed amount. The performance corresponds to the pre-flying-flagship of two years ago, the design is very stylish and the display is first class. Particularly surprising is the IP68 authentication, which the Poco model did not have before. It also has a very powerful battery that promises to last long.

Only the camera shows a little weakness, the wide-angle lens is particularly disappointing. When it comes to focusing on video recording and photo in the condition of bad light, it still has scope of improvement. Poco X7 Pro is still recommended and is one of the best smartphones priced below 400 euros.
