Poco has launched the Poco X7 and Poco X7 Pro globally today. Both phones offer an updated design, newer chips, and better imaging capabilities. Unlike previous years, the base model now packs a curved display, while the pro model sticks to a flat design. To be fair, the base model resembles the Redmi Note 14 Pro in the design.
Poco X7 design and specifications:
On the front, the Poco X7 uses a 6.67″ AMOLED panel with 1220p (1.5K) resolution. It reaches up to 1200 nits in direct sunlight. A small portion of the display can even reach as high as 3000nits at a time – something useful for streaming HDR content.
While the display panel is not much different from the one on the Poco X6, the curved design offers it a more premium look. This is protected with the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for a proper balance between drop and scratch resistance. For reference, the Poco X6 came with the Gorilla Glass Victus protection.
The plastic middle frame also has a curved design, which will surely be praised by people like me who still find it more comfortable to grip.
But something that truly sets it apart from the Redmi Note 14 Pro is the appearance of the vegan leather version. It comes with the signature Poco look with Yellow and Black colors. However, there are also Silver and Green color options for those seeking a more neutral look.
The Poco X7 is powered by the Dimensity 7300 Ultra chip, which is based on TSMC’s 4nm process. This is the same chip that powers the Redmi Note 14 Pro. This is paired with UFS 2.2 storage.
As for the cameras, the Poco X7 uses a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, a 2MP macro camera, and a 20MP selfie shooter.
The phone packs a 5110 mAh battery for the global market (same as the predecessor) while the Indian variant packs a larger 5500mAh battery. Unfortunately, the charging speed is downgraded from 67W to 45W, suspiciously similar to the Redmi Note 14 Pro.
Pricing and availability:
Poco X7 comes in three different color options – Black (the vegan leather version), Green, and Silver, and is currently listed in Flipkart with the following configurations:
- 8GB + 128GB: ₹21,999
- 8GB + 256GB: ₹23,999
The first sale on Flipkart is scheduled for January 17th. A 12GB + 512GB version of the phone is also listed on the company’s UK website, priced at £249.00 (~Rs. 26,310).
