Poco X7 (Global) review

09 January 2025


Sort by:

I didn't actually want to buy this, but I broke my only phone. so only this phone fit my budget and my needs. I get it for rm850 ($200) from shopee.

I actually surprised the phone quality and feel at this price point. I got the silver colour it look good in person and not very appealing like the black/yellow one. I liked the curved screen, camera design wasn't good but kind of refreshing design. also this phone is surprisingly lightweight.

malaysia is always raining unexpectedly so ip68 is a plus. ir blaster is a most for poco phone lol.

battery performance below average for the battery capacity.

camera is not bad actually (I actually want to pick his twin the redmi note 14 pro with better camera but a bit over my budget and doesn't have a good color option). I improved the camera shot by installing stable version of gcam by Shamim on gcam hub website.

and yeah this phone still didn't get 2.0 hyperos yet

and uh.. that's it as a casual user this is more that enough for me.

        Curved screen? Really? Thank you, next

          jerem06, 09 Jan 2025How do they get such bad battery life with a Dimensity 7300... moreIt's obvious you didn't read the review.

          "The Poco X7 runs on HyperOS 1.04 and Android 14, unlike the X7 Pro, which comes with the Android 15-based Hyper OS 2."

                Spencer, 11 Jan 2025high battery consumption in new xiaomi phones with (Li-ion)... moreWrong. The excessive battery consumption is due to missing audio jack. The usb-c audio consumes way too much battery.
                I've been saying this all along but the noobies and Bluetooth fanboys keep attacking me for requesting audio jack.

                And hyperos has too much e-trashware inside.
                Try older xiaomi phone with MIUI firmware and audio jack and you will see the difference in battery performance with your own eyes.

                    Distraneurin, 09 Jan 2025What is happening with battery life on Xiaomi phones lately... morehigh battery consumption in new xiaomi phones with (Li-ion) is due to screen high resolution and high nits ... so, it is what it is ! Buy those with SiC battery only. Li-ion will be outdated next year !

                            vik457, 10 Jan 2025Any info on panels on poco x7 pro? C8 material assuming on ... moreAccording to some Chinese bloggers the Turbo 4 is using mixed suppliers CSOT (which is TCL) and Tianma (It's common for Xiaomi to use these two as mixed suppliers on their midrangers). However, Xiaomi themselves don't seem to have this info available on their Chinese webpage so I can't be sure if it's accurate or not. Also, it's possible that the global variant could just choose a single supplier from these two even if the Chinese variant uses dual suppliers

                              This main cam is exactly the same, as on the new Poco M7 Pro - so for a 200 bucks phone, the cam is acceptable, but not on a 300-400 Poco X7, seriously.

                                indlvarn, 10 Jan 2025What's up with Xiaomi's and bad battery times? If... moreCompare the new Xiaomi phones with HyperOS crap with the older generation Xiaomi bestseller phones. The old generation xiaomi phones never had any battery issues because they all use MIUI software which is clean and fast compared to the bloated HyperOS.
                                Just delete HyperOS and flash the old MIUI ROM and enjoy blazing fast MIUI ROM and be happy :D

                                    A cheap Xiaomi is really asking for trouble. Save you money and buy a decent phone.

                                      They downgraded the charging speed from it's predecessor but still carried over the same mediocre battery endurance from the poco x6👎👎.
                                      At least the display is far better than anything else in this price category

                                        Worse 2x than the X6 is damning
