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.

It's pure disappointment . Other companies with 5000mah reach higher level of screen on time easily 😂

    Thank you for that test. It's something I definitely pay attention to in a phone, tired of them dying on me when I need them most - travelling and unable to charge.

    One info I'd like is battery longevity. I know it's a pain to test, but I'm fairly sure fast charging kills batteries faster, so seeing it always listed as a positive when I'm fairly sure we shouldn't use it is jarring. On the contrary, I'm interested in phones that implement battery protection, which was, then wasn't, now is supposed to be an Android 15 feature, but some OEMs already kinda do anyway ?

    All my Xiaomi phones and tablets ended up with bloating batteries. All my Lenovo/Moto and Hawei gizmos didn't ? (I use older phones and tablets around my work PC until they physically die - usually the battery, in the case of my OG Galaxy Note v1, its Flash RAM).

      pl2rts, 14 Jan 2025I dont understand why even talk about A55 A55 competition ... moreWell competition isn't made by which processor a phone has, but pricing. But whatever you were comparing it to your F5 and like I said, this battery is only 20% bigger so quite unreasonable to expect this to be much better. It is just better, but in all Xiaomi's fashion for the last few years, battery life still isn't good enough compared to another brands.

        A55 competition is Redmi Note Pro and Pro+

        Maybe at best Poco X7 with D7300 (that is also in note pro) that is weaker then Exynos 1480 but not a lot

          Shameful battery performance

            pl2rts, 14 Jan 2025It's only 1 hour for 1000mah more battery. I expect a ... more6000 is only 20% bigger than 5000, so difference was never going to be a lot bigger, specially within the same brand. Now when you compare it to the battery life on Samsung A55 for example then it shows the true colors of Xiaomi's implementation. That being said, Dimensity 8400 is in a completely different league from Exynos 1480.

              Still not good enough. In fact, X6 pro (Which itself already sucks) will probably last longer in real life usage since it offers more than 5h talk time, which is essentially 4G usage. The "active usage" they test is Wifi usage. So the X7 will be marginally better when used with wifi, but significantly worse when using mobile data.

                  I ditched xiaomi simply because their terrible battery endurance. Switched to Vivo and couldn't be happier. Faster charging, longer battery.

                                      This is the result without LTPO, powerful SoC, high resolution etc. Xiaomi should start providing LTPO for this class like iQOO and Realme.

                                        So not much difference with the 1000mAh difference with the Poco F5
