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.

    Is no one really gonna blame the tech used? What if the battery is actually the one inefficient? Yes it is 6000mah but what if the anodes from the si/c batteries discharges at a higher rate? There are so many factors to consider here. The battery, material, software and etc. have you guys seen the performance difference between x7 pro and turbo 4? They have the same soc but different performance (software side). Even if this tech is from 2023 (Honor phones) it is still far off from the development of Lithium batteries which has existed for a decade. We can say that Xiaomi is only testing the shallow waters of the new battery tech and there are still possibilities of optimization for the future. We should still be thankful that a company tried to invest to the new technology that if successful it will be a game changer for every companies and the consumers.

                  This is exactly why I tell people all the time not to worry about the S25U Ultra. This has the new Mediatek chip and a big battery and still falls flat. Optimization does a lot. One UI 6.1 seems to be awful on my S23 Ultra since AI or circle to search ruined battery life (atleast to some extent), which One UI 7 aswell as the new chip should help improve again. The S23 Ultra wasn't bad at all either, still holding up well to the new oh so amazing phones. Honestly, even with the same 5000 mAh battery, the new chip should help the S35 Ultra to be very competitive

Call test is more of modem efficient, video streaming is affected by media engine and display Quality, Browsing display/Cpu/Gpu etc

                      Batterylife wise Cortex A55 is still best core available with power consumption around 0.1-0.5 Watts.

                        I had the Poco X6 Pro and Poco F6.
                        I have now the Poco X7 Pro, which is much more fluide in every aspects, especially while scrolling. I guess that its power needs more energy.

                          rizki1, 14 Jan 2025he tests like GSMArena too, there is gaming, stress test, t... moreIf you stress test any soc with cortex X core it will likely lose to soc without X cores, These cortex X use lot of power, that's one thing.

                          About youtube you need more details, if software render or hardware render was used, codecs used etc.

                          Am not saying GSMARENA or that YouTuber is right but usual it's hard comparing different methodology.

                          You can check Phonearena, Notebookcheck etc consistency Xiaomi regressed a lot in battery life, In Phonearena test Redmi note 11 series are still ranking above all poco/redmi released past 3 years.

                            Xiaomi 14 has very good battery life with hyper os 1, screen is slightly smaller and ltpo but also has a much smaller battery. They only optimize it for 1 or 2 phones for global i guess.

                              Stop it with the mediatek SoC is not efficient, geekerwan reviewed it and it's very efficient, actually close to snap 8 gen 3, that's why xiaomi have to buy the exclusivity of the chip otherwise it would be obvious competition do so much better with equivalent hardware.

                              Xiaomi is the worst brand for battery life by far, there is no question about it look at the xiaomi 14 ultra there flagship it's sooooo bad.

                                Wow, I'm surprised by the result.
                                Either the SOC is terrible with energy efficiency, since this is 1st phone with this soc.
                                Or Hyper OS is not properly baked.

                                With 6000 mah, this result is disastrous.

                                  Mediately chips have such poor efficiency

                                    Hemedans, 14 Jan 2025What did he test? Did he do video streaming for 16 hours? D... morehe tests like GSMArena too, there is gaming, stress test, tiktok everything but for a few hours.. I don't know, Nord 4 and other phones should get more hours on YouTube if GSMArena gets longer battery but in fact it doesn't... so who would browse and stream for that many hours? well, if there is a phone better battery in browsing, that means it's nothing if gaming can only last for 1 hour... like you once said to me about UFS speed.

                                      The culprit are HyperOS, 1,5K screen resolution, and poweful soc?

                                        Just flash custom slim MIUI rom and enjoy blazing fast xiaomi speeds and very long battery times.
                                        With custom ROM, xiaomi easily beats all Samsung, apple and pixel devices in every single test.
