vik457, 17 Jan 2025Well your bias is already hard-set so everything should be ... moreLet's not pretend Xiaomi is some small brand who doesn't have what it takes to make good software for its OS. Their phones are giving bad battery life consistently for last few years and it is well known everywhere. Only reason to not fix it for this long is intentional disregard.
They need to fire their developers or their managers who have decided not to optimize their OS.

        JimmyTheGreatest, 17 Jan 2025Any thermal issue? I didn't buy the previous X6 Pro... moreNo Thermal issue at all. It did get warm when I was doing the initial setup but after that it has been normal. I don't do heavy games yet but I've seen people gaming on it, runs like butter. Improved a lot over X6 Pro in that regard.

          POCO X7 Pro
          Iron Man Edition Red, 12 GB + 512 GB
          449,90 €

          it was below 400 and with charger and earbuds, voucher for discount and so on..

          now - 450 base price :) Hard pass, next please.

            I didn't buy the previous X6 Pro because many users were complaining about the heat.

              SkyFX, 17 Jan 2025Color scheme --> advanced settings --> P3 It's ... moreIn Germany (and i think someone mentioned Spain too) you can get a free charger with X7 avengers edition.
              Still i don't know how you guys are buying phones with proprietary charging system and blame EU law (not the EU isn't trash).. it's the vendors who are cheating and abusing the laws in their own favor.
              i see 100W PD chargers in any cheap Action store for 19€, not sure which phones are going to work with it though. I have few 30W chargers here from same type - work like charm..

                6k mAh, and still poor battery life ahah. These noobs can't be saved 🤣

If phone's battery life runs too long, then people won't buy new phones. The 6000mah capacity is just marketing as it doesn't translate to much real life improvement.

                    What a dissapoint is that the new X7 vanila has a peformance not even half of this. While the X6 vanila does ( with X6 Pro) . I dont know why they dont up the chipset in vanilla one..

                      In other markets like LATAM it has the 90W charger bundled in the box.

                        It's usually the better option on Poco devices.

                        And yeah, no charger is a new low for Xiaomi. Especially when we're paying the highest price for it to begin with.

                          Aland, 16 Jan 2025I wonder how cool people think Iron Men is? I don't, and would never buy anything with such design, but I like the green model, it looks pretty... And different.

                            I've been watching a few reviews... This one is a very strong release from xiaomi this year. It really stands off with all of its features, and its downsides are easy to pass given its pricing and strenghts.

                              just 15 days ago bought redmi 13 pro 4g. And 3 days ago I saw new model show up and I felt stupid cause I thought I bought lastes one . Today i order poco x 7 pro 8gb 256gb . And when i get poco i am gonna sell redmi 13 pro ..i am not like camera user . So its not first thing for me. I wanted new release phone . New hardware and software.

                                  This phone almost completed, wish they could upgrade the ultrawide to have AF , just like 4 years old Techno Phantom X.

Now they require 20% larger batteries to achieve similar results to the competition. Like they said in the review: here the battery is fine, but you would expect even more from 6000 mAh. It has gotten praise from other reviews though but battery testing methodology varies from each publisher.

                                    Through my usage, I can say it is far better than the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G it is replacing, and basically the same endurance of the Samsung A55 I also owned for a few weeks (had to return that one for its PWM which I couldn't deal with).

                                    The chipset itself is absolutely fine and I wish more OEMs use it for more devices. This phone has raised the bar for the sub $350 segment.

                                        Bot10Exists, 16 Jan 2025You don't have to root your phone for this, so your wa... moreBelieve me when I say I KNOW. I actually changed profession when I was very young, after having to deal with spaghetti programming. The money was good then, but it wasn't worth it, having to deal with all the mess, even on my weekends. By the way, I don't know how old you are and if you ever heard of spaghetti programming.

                                        Even if you don't root the phone, the changes you make will be detected by the IT departments of the bank and insurance company. Their IT staff is as smart as you are. They will demand you give them your phone for forensic analysis. The tinkering will be used against you by their lawyers. It's their job to make sure you don't get compensated, this is how they make money actually, otherwise they'll lose their job.
