Say hello to the Poco X7 and Poco X7 Pro – two smartphones with 50 MP cameras and attractive prices. These midrangers are similar to the two Redmi phones, which are currently only available in China, with the two being differentiated by their chipset and battery capacity.

On the back there’s a 50 MP main camera with Sony’s OIS and IMX882 sensor, joined by an 8 MP ultra-wide camera. The selfie shooter inside the punch hole has a 20 MP sensor.
The Pro offers a larger 6,000 mAh battery, but the version in India will have a 6,500 mAh capacity (same as the Turbo 4) with 90W wired charging support, which will go from 0 to 100% in 42 minutes. The Xiaomi brand promises to retain 90% capacity after 1,000 cycles, and the phone can be charged even in extremely cold environments.
Poco X7 Pro comes with HyperOS 2 based on Android 15. It brings AI Erase Pro, AI Image Expansion, AI Film, AI Interpreter, AI Notes and AI Recorder in line with the current trends.
If that’s not enough, the phone comes pre-installed with the Google Gemini app for essential AI assistance in writing, learning, and brainstorming.
The list of highlights continues with IP68 water and dust protection (the India variant also has IP66 and IP69), NFC, IR blaster, and dual-frequency GPS. The fingerprint scanner is below the OLED panel and you get dual SIM support.
There are three color options – green, black and yellow, with the latter being vegan leather. There are also three memory options – 8/256 GB, 12/256 GB, and 12/512 GB but these three will not be available in every market.

While the Pro has two cameras, here we have three, lined up in a square structure with an LED flash – 50 MP main + 8 MP ultra-wide + 2 MP macro.
Like other X7 devices, the main shooter here comes with OIS and a Sony IMX882 sensor, while the selfie cam has a 20 MP imager.
These specs are very similar to the Redmi Note 14 Pro, but here Xiaomi has decided to downgrade the battery capacity to 5,110 mAh with 45W wired charging support. This battery is said to retain 80% of its capacity after 1,600 cycles, which is more than four years of normal use.
Rather disappointingly, Poco at least has IP68 certification (also IP66 and IP69 in India), NFC, IR blaster, and a 3D fingerprint scanner.
The Poco X7 comes in silver, green and black with yellow colours; Again, the hero color is made of vegan leather. Memory options are 8/128 GB, 8/256 GB or 12/512 GB, RAM is LPDDR4X and storage is only UFS 2.2.
