I only Xiaomi fix the battery drain, or software optimisation in genral, they would be among the best.

    Aierlan, 16 Jan 2025Better than a small battery with terrible optimisation! It shouldn't be mutual exclusive!

      I AM AMAZING, 16 Jan 2025A performance focused phone doesn't care about camera ... moreTrue. And still, people forget the main camera here is very good. I come from the RN 13P 5G which has a strong main camera and honestly... I can hardly see the difference with the X7 Pro.

      I do notice the huge difference in smoothness though. This thing is much faster.

        Spencer, 16 Jan 2025i still wonder why gsmarena keep thinking that high resolut... moreThey have to write something about screen in Pros otherwise what else is left to mention at these low budget phones.

          justasmile, 16 Jan 2025A big battery is useless when the optimisation is terrible.Better than a small battery with terrible optimisation!

              NoOne75, 16 Jan 2025Funny though, same main Sensor as the 2025 Poco M7 Pro 5G e... moreA performance focused phone doesn't care about camera specs.
              And oh. That is a 2024 Ultrawide sensor. In fact, all sensors are 2024 ones, selfie is 2023.

                Look Great on paper.
                Atleas it have OIS on the camera deprtament.
                Cooling look great.
                Perfermonace for the pice is TOP. Just FLAGSHIP Killer.
                This is defently my new phone.
                Sadly on my older X5 Pro i use Baikal OS.
                The best custom Android 13.
                What i am gonna doo with the new Hyper OS 2?

                  Spencer, 16 Jan 2025i still wonder why gsmarena keep thinking that high resolut... moreExactly. Higher refresh rates and even 5g on 4nm are battery eaters as well.
                  Background activities of all apps must be stopped as well because god only knows what info they are collecting with AI krap.

                            i still wonder why gsmarena keep thinking that high resolution screen is a "PROS" ??? and at the same time they write poor battery life as "CONS" ... don't you understand that high resolution and higher nits is battery killer unless yoi the screen use LTPO ???

                              "If camera quality and versatility matter to you, the Motorola Edge 50 would be the better choice."
                              Poco was sadly never been choosen for it's camera IQ, but for the SoC speed, correlated to it's price class. The devices have been speedy, and great price/performance ratio - but not in terms of the best camera setup into its price class.

                                For me its Just a Poco f6 Witz a netter battery

So its fine if the cameras are not good. They just need to be OK enough to take usable pictures. The biggest problem with the phone is the badly optimized OS for battery life. That is inexcusable.

                                    NoOne75, 16 Jan 2025Funny though, same main Sensor as the 2025 Poco M7 Pro 5G e... moreHmm, 1/1,28" ultrawide sensor? Then you might take a look at upcoming vivo x200 ultra.

                                      Funny though, same main Sensor as the 2025 Poco M7 Pro 5G entry level phone, yikes. 50 MP, 1/1.95", go figure. I've said that before. Un-impressive. If one wants to see the IQ, check reviews on the web via M7 Pro 5G. For my taste, this is a entry level Main Sensor, too small, for a Poco "Pro" it's too little.

                                      What's more, still that substandard 2019 8 MP UWA Cam, Xiaomi must have horted millions of these very old, cheapskate Sensors. Seriously, it's a shame to see that 8 MP UWA cam from 2019, still into 2025 and beyond...the 12/13 MP UWA Sensor from the Xiaomi 13T/Pro should be the current mininum standard for UWA cams into 2025. Anyway, i'd like to see a 50 MP UWA cam with 1/1.28" Sensor into this class, that would be cool, or at least 1/1.4" Sensor size.

                                      Hard pass, next! Waiting for the F7 Ultra review. It's the only Xiaomi/Poco which is interesting these days, for my taste.

                                      It's okay, if some guy doesn't agree, i have my own standards. This X7 Pro is pretty lame into 2025. You guys are not being photographers, for decades.

                                        So the battery increment was borne out of necessity rather than technological advancements.
                                        Doesn't this device support BT 6.0? So what improvements does it bring to the table?
