Poco X7 Pro review

15 January 2025


Sort by:

So what is the cause for the subpar battery life of this device, the new configuration of the chipset or that rather poor optimization of the software?

    These days I usually go straight to the battery life test first in these reviews. Anything less than 15 hours is a no.

        I don't think you've ever dealt with a bank or insurance company, after being defrauded, while using a compromised unit. Let me put it for you in plain English: You can kiss your money goodbye! The problem doesn't end there, you will even be forced to pay a compensation for the time the bank had to spend on "helping" you. They get paid per hour.

                  For users of this phone, get shizuku on pc to debloat it and maybe it won't underperform your battery expectations.

                    Had my Poco X7 Pro now for a few days. No charger in the box is a problem. Wish it had e-sim. Screen colors are a little washed out compared to my Moto G84 and OnePlus 8 Pro. It only charges at about 12 W with any of my existing chargers. Stupid European Union law on chargers is screwing us in Europe.

                      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!

                          AnonD-1187531, 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.

                                  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.
