Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro

A budget performance phone with a flagship-adjacent MediaTek chipset and a huge 6000mAh battery.

The Poco X7 Pro is built around a simple pitch: near-flagship processing power and genuinely fast charging, in a phone priced well under $350. Powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 8400 Ultra — a chip built with an unusual all-big-core design for stronger sustained performance — it's aimed squarely at budget-conscious buyers who game or multitask heavily and don't want to compromise on speed.

Design and build

At 200 grams with a plastic frame and glass back, the Poco X7 Pro doesn't try to disguise its budget positioning with premium materials, but it does deliver something most rivals at this price skip entirely: a full IP68 rating (IP69 in select markets like India), meaning genuine dust-tight sealing and water submersion resistance rather than just splash protection.

Display

The 6.67-inch AMOLED display, carried over from the previous X6 Pro generation, runs at 120Hz with Dolby Vision support and reaches an advertised 3200 nits peak brightness — independent measurements confirmed genuinely strong real-world brightness, among the best in the budget segment.

Performance and software

MediaTek's Dimensity 8400 Ultra uses an unusual all-big-core CPU design rather than the typical mix of performance and efficiency cores, which Poco says delivers stronger sustained performance under load. In practice, this makes the X7 Pro one of the strongest-performing phones at its price point, particularly for gaming, where sustained frame rates matter more than peak benchmark numbers.

Camera

The 50MP main camera, built around a Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS, produces strong results for the price, especially in good lighting, with dual OIS and EIS stabilization helping video look notably smoother than typical budget-phone footage. The 8MP ultra-wide and 20MP selfie camera are both clearly secondary priorities, delivering average rather than standout results.

Battery and charging

A 6000mAh battery (6550mAh in the Indian market specifically) delivers strong all-day endurance even under heavy use, and 90W wired charging is genuinely fast for the price, taking the phone from empty to full in around 42 minutes according to Poco's own testing.

What's good

  • Dimensity 8400 Ultra delivers near-flagship sustained performance for the price
  • IP68 (IP69 in some markets) rating is rare at this price tier
  • 6000mAh battery with fast 90W charging, full charge in about 42 minutes
  • Bright, high-resolution AMOLED display with Dolby Vision
  • Retains an infrared blaster for controlling home electronics

What to weigh

  • No eSIM support
  • Weak selfie camera and a middling ultra-wide lens
  • No charger included in EU retail boxes
  • Only 3 years of major OS updates promised

Our take

The Poco X7 Pro is one of the strongest value picks in the budget segment for anyone who prioritizes sustained performance, battery life, and water resistance over camera versatility or a premium build, particularly for gaming-focused buyers on a tight budget.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Poco X7 Pro support eSIM?

No — it relies on physical dual-SIM slots only, with no eSIM support, which is worth checking if your carrier requires it.

Is the Poco X7 Pro genuinely water resistant?

Yes, it carries a full IP68 rating (IP69 in some markets like India), meaning dust-tight sealing and resistance to water submersion, which is unusually robust for a phone this affordable.

Does the Poco X7 Pro come with a charger?

This varies by region — some markets, including parts of the EU, do not include a charger in the box, so check local packaging details before buying.
