Poco has launched the Poco X7 series globally, which includes a total of three models: the Poco X7, X7 Pro (our review), and the X7 Pro Iron Man Edition. The X7 Pro is said to be a rebrand of the China-exclusive Redmi Turbo 4. But Poco has still made a few tweaks inside out.
The phone is powered by the Dimensity 8400 Ultra (vs Snapdragon 8s Gen 3) chip, just like the Redmi Turbo 4. This is paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for faster loading times and smoother operation in heavy apps and games. In our tests, the chip outperformed the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the Geekbench multi-core test, AnTuTu, and GPU benchmark.
Includes “WildBoost Optimization 3.0”
The company also talks about its “WildBoost Optimization 3.0”, which apparently improves the gaming experience. We have recently seen similar developments from OnePlus as well, for the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R.
Some benefits of Poco’s “WildBoost Optimization 3.0” include enhanced game audio that offers a competitive edge in certain scenarios, smart performance scheduling, and improved network connectivity that uses AI for antenna selection and offers a more stable connection.
As for the software, the X7 Pro is powered by Xiaomi’s Android 15-based HyperOS 2 custom skin. Interestingly, this is in contrast with the base model, which is powered by Android 14-based HyperOS.
Unlike the base model, which you can learn more about here, the Pro model comes with a flat design. The phone measures 8.3mm in thickness and weighs 198g. This phone also supports “Super Resolution Rendering” which likely refers to the upscaling feature.
To sustain the performance, Poco is using a 5000mm2 loop pump VC cooling, branded as POCO 3D IceLoop system. The brand claims 3x better cooling than traditional VC cooling systems. All of it paired with an intelligent temperature control system that includes 10 temperature sensors for precise monitoring.
On the front, there is a 6.67″ 1.5K flat AMOLED panel (same as the base model in size) that reaches a global peak brightness of 1400 nits and a local peak brightness of 3200 nits. The imaging system includes 50MP IMS 882 main sensor (that measures 1/1.95″), which is paired with an 8MP ultrawide. Based on our tests, the camera system is enough to get the job done.
The phone also packs an IP68 dust and water resistance rating this time, up from the IP54 rating of its predecessor. The Pro model does not bother you with the unwanted 2MP macro camera, rather packs a larger 6000mAh battery for longer gaming sessions. This is paired with a 90W wired charging support. Similar to the base model, the X7 Pro offers a larger 6,550mAh battery to its Indian users. Check out the Poco X7 Pro Iron Man Edition and standard Poco X7 here.
