These poco are a bit too pricey, X7 pro or even last year's F6 probably are better purchases, though F6 battery is not good.

Some are like 20-40€ , very slim and have Cirrus Logic DAC, outperforming anything you can get nowadays as built-in DAC. Audio quality difference is huge, even with normal, not so expensive headphones. And that for 20-40€ and you can pick any smartphone you like

Just don't accept it. Stop paying more money for less features year after year. Vote with your wallet.

But believe it or not, I do actually prefer plastic of good quality, compared to metal. Try the Poco F6 and you'll understand. It's the sexiest phone I've ever owned.

at the end of the day POCO is an abomination of a phone with that UI now imagine it costs 600 to 750 USD based on region.......while 14T pro is based on the same platform but with 70% better UI and less ads and 600 USD price (at the end of the day they all redmi K series while T series is the K ultra model and F is K pro model) so the actual diffrance is the UI and i pray to god no one gets its hands on POCO

Poco should've focused on what it was already doing. This feels rushed tbh. They just had to improve cameras on their midranger phones and a few things here and there. A flagship phone ain't worth it in 2025. Mid range phone are half the price but offer 80 percent of flagship features

It's ok.
The specs are good. No 3.5mm port but that's kind of expected these days (Asus is the only competitor to have one, but FHD really isn't good enough at what that costs) other than that it's not really missing anything major over the OnePlus or Samsung (judging camera hardware is difficult when really a lot of it is software dependent). I do like that it's a smidge smaller, no it's not by any definition small but it's less wide in this group which is good. Never tried HyperOS, but Xiaomi aren't exactly reputable in this area (oddly Samsung seem to be doing fairly well for software now).
Overall I probably won't be buying one but that's not because it's a bad phone, it's just I use the 3.5mm port enough that I'm genuinely considering Sony.

JimmyTheGreatest, 30 Mar 2025Where exactly you bought yours from and how much did you pay?Colombia, in a local store. It was around $370 for the 12/512 version. In the official site they sell it a bit more expensive. But in any case it has the charger bundled in the box.

hev.c, 30 Mar 2025You can easily turn off most of the ads on Samsung phones. ... moreIf people who are lazy and complain about ads just Google for 15 min, they knew Xiaomi provides a java program in combination with developer option, where you can easily disable or remove all Chinese crapware and Google shit and get a clean adfree os and a bit extra saved battery life.
But NO......too much trouble, it is better to complain.

Language is so broken in modern day that is full of single cell brain power that mix up build materials and build quality.
The quality of the build is same for plastic materials to metallic materials
They use anyways more clue to stick parts together then use screws and they use screws in all phones with motherboard connection to the phone frame. Screen and back cover is clued to the frame so how is that with plastic frame the phone build quality is worse then a phone with metal frame from the same brand ?

JimmyTheGreatest, 30 Mar 2025The Poco X7 Pro doesn't come with a charger, so you wo... moreI agree on that. Removing a charger from box is a flaw and especially at the time when they have no standard charging speed. For Samsung and Apple it makes sense as they have their standard charging speed of something like 25W and 45W but then again even with these speeds their charger was something like 10W speed in the box.
So this isn't solving the problem and the explanation that all have a charger at home is not valid when you never got the fast charger in the box in the first place and then you rise the charging speeds
The problem with the charger is not the only thing. Finding a cable that support the speeds is also a serious pain. I was looking to get like 5 different cables and all had written the support of 67W but none give that speed as the yellow text for charging didnt show on the phone screen like it does with the original cable. And i wanted braded black cables as i hate everything white that gets yellow to cray and so on dirty and be hard to clean while with braded cable it's not showing so dont much care to clean the cable too.
