The new F7 series from Poco lacks a vanilla model – only Pro and Ultra versions. And as far as the value for money goes (the major sales point of the brand), some believe that POCO X7 Pro is better than F7 Pro.
Right now, the Poco X7 Pro starts at € 320 and you can add 4GB of RAM to € 20, doubling storage is another € 20. While there is not a fairly flagship chip, the Demistance 8400 Ultra is unique with its eight cortex-e725 core. In addition, the performance is quite premium with 1220p+ resolution, 12-bit color, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision Support.
The plastic frame is a downgrade compared to F7 Pro, but this model has a high IP rating, IP69. The camera is nothing special (50MP 1/1.95 ”main, 8MP ultra-wide and 20MP selfie), but it’s not far away what F-phone is. And the battery is really 6,000mAh SI/C and 90W is the same in wired-keval charging.
Before settling on the X7 Pro, you should consider the old Poco F6. With a Snapdragon 8S General 3, the phone is not as fast as X7 Pro, but still has its own. And it has only one performance and the same camera system. The battery is small on 5,000mAh (still with 90W charging) and water resistance is a fairly basic IP64. Given the difference of € 20 between the two, we will go with the new X7 Pro.
There is also Vanilla Poco X7, which is € 70 cheaper than Pro. This is good and all, but in terms of performance, the demishity 7300 ultra is a major downgrade (and it is up to the UFS 2.2 storage, compared to the UFS 4.0), as well as the battery has a capacity of 5,110mAh and fees at 45W. Displays and cameras are the same, but the loss of performance is tilted to us.
Last year, Apple released new iPad air tablets with M2 chip, then refreshed them with the M3-based model this year. Unlike iPados Macos, additional performance does not use the best, so you cannot see a big difference between the two generations.
The iPad Air 13 (2024) is cheaper than € 230 to € 230, compared to the 2025 model, based on storage tier. Maybe, you want additional storage compared to additional performance.
Similarly, the younger iPad Air 11 (2024) is cheaper € 120- € 160 than its new siblings.
If you like Android Tablet, both Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro are both € 70 closed. Both have stylus support, quad speakers and 8,850mAh battery 11.2 “IPS LCD (144hz, 12-bit, dolby vision). The primary difference is in chipset-Snapdragon 7+ gene 3 and Snapdragon 8S General 3 on Pro can be in the chipset.
Pro also has better cameras (back: 50MP vs. 13MP, front: 32MP vs. 8MP) and rapid charging (67W vs 45W), but cost € 50 more. In terms of performance, despite the high class of the chip, the pro is only a slight edge.
Finally, Amazon Fire Max 11 is a great streaming tablet that can be used for work and even mild gaming. It has a good quality 11 ”IPS LCD (2,000 x 1,200px, 60Hz) and stereo speakers. Storage expandable, if you prefer local media on streaming. Note that this version has advertisements, but you can get rid of them for € 15 extra.
