Our Poco X7 Pro battery life test is now ready

14 January 2025
It's an improvement over the last generation, but perhaps not as good as the battery capacity would make you believe.

I got my X7 Pro today and first impressions are good though. Took like 4 hours of screen time from 65 to 20 percent. Other battery life reviews are inconsistent with GSMarena results, where Xiaomi phones get considerable worse scores. Will be keeping an eye on it in the next few days.

    Weird that there are no news that HyperOS 3.0 can come earlier cause new Android number maybe coming in summer of 2025 and there for even Poco F5 can get the 3rd OS update as rumors state

      If we can only install Samsung OS on the Xiaomi phone then we can talk about what OS is better. Different hardware and specs all around makes the difference in battery life

      Even minor differences in specs can already make massive difference in battery consumption so as long as we cant just install OS on a single hardware we cant also compare the different phones in battery life. People just complain about all of that.

      Want bigger batteries but the difference is practically none existent
      The difference for me going from 4000mAh to 5000mAh was pretty much nothing and seems like from 5000mAh to 6000mAh is same. even tough the new tech should consume less but actually seems to consume a lot more. Well there are more features with new tech so hoping for bigger battery to solve it is not really worth it

            Anonymous, 9 hours agoHyperOS seems like a mistake. Should have just stuck with Miui. HyperOS is just rebranded MIUI, continuation of it. All of this talk that it's completely new UI made from scratch is a lie.

But I will not be getting another Xiaomi device because of the poor battery life.

                    It is very interesting to evaluate battery performance based on battery size rather than price. So, would it be better if they added a 4500 mAh battery to this price and the device could use this size at full efficiency and get around 11 hours of screen time? So this screen time is quite nice for its price. In the comments people are comparing it to phones with LTPO screens that cost hundreds of euros more, or phones with bad screens and bad chips that don't consume much power anyway (I'm aware that Xiaomi fails with software)

                        The point they were trying to make is that this phone has a terrible battery for the size of the cell. How does that make them an apple fanboy?

                          Either it's the chipset (power hungry or due to the all big core design) or the HyperOS not being optimized. Could have extracted

                              Like always Chinese proved that they can't make decent software. Thx but I rather splash 1k euro for decent phone and software then 400 EUR for crap software

                                The SoC we cannot comment of course, but looking at X7 vs Nothing phone 2a/2a plus we can clearly see the issue with Xiaomi Poco devices.. doesn't look like SoC issue, so software is the main culprit

                                  it's a joke to have such score with 6000mAh battery, OnePlus 13 which has even more powerful chip and same battery got 15:28h and Galaxy S24 which got only 5000mAh battery got 13:49h score, SoC there is also more powerful and made on 4nm

That uses the same technology and have same capacity, yet have one of the best endurance rating in this website, and charging is also pretty fast. So it is not really the technology to blame here
