Hey explorers,
Today I am going to share with you something different which I am doing personally for the first time on this platform.
So recently you might have noticed that poco recently launched their X series successor, the poco X7 and the X7 Pro in India which is the successor of the poco X6.

We all have seen that the poco X6 was a massive it and on Amazon it was priced under 20k which is the massive thing because the specifications which we are showing and giving and the price they were giving at was a massive jump and it was really a value for money for all the users who have purchased it as per the reviews.

So with this new launch they have tried to continue that sentiment and that legacy. Now let's see what major differences there are and rather than the last generation poco X6…


Starting with the visual changes the poco X6 had a minimal look with three prominent camera protrudes on a different slab of camera cutout. Where the poco X7 has a new camera outfit which is somewhat curved from all corners, it looks like a circle. And this time there is a scent and feel of vegan leather which you can get with the poco X7 as the black variant.
Now regarding the processor previously the poco X6 used this Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 which is also based on a phone nanometer technology with a clock speed of 2.4 gigahertz while the new poko X7 is equipped with the latest mediatek dimensity 7300 ultra which has a higher clock speed + improved in overall benchmarks.
Regarding the storage and Ram types both the poco X6 and the new generation poco X7 has the LPDDR4X Ram plus the UFS 2.2 storage for the lower variants while the higher variant that is that 12 GB RAM version has LPDDR5 and the same UFS 2.2 storage. While the read and write speeds from both the previous generation and the new generation remain the same is that there has been insignificant improvement in the overall UI which makes it more snappier and a lot faster than the previous hyperOS running on poco X6.


Now regarding the cameras we saw a huge leap from the previous generation to this generation. The poco X6 came with a triple camera setup while the new Poco X7 comes with dual camera setup with optical image stabilization which is a huge upgrade from a normal 64 megapixel camera with OIS too. The ultra wide camera remains the same in both the devices except the macro cameras are not here this time. Regarding selfie cameras both the devices have selfie cameras but there is a huge leap from 16 megapixel to 20 megapixel in the latest poco X7.Although camera optimisation has been significantly improved both from front and back , the color scheme was still pretty much as before, like the X6.


Regarding the battery and the charging both the devices come with 5100 & 5110 mAh battery with poco X7 supports 45W turbo charging while the poco X6 supports 67W fast charging.
Regarding sensors both the device supports NFC which is the nearby field communication technology as well as the IR blaster and all the necessary sensors which are required.
Although there is a slight change in the network configuration while the poco X6 supports 13 5G bands the poco X7 supports 14 5G bands.
The poco X6 has high-res support and dolby atmos support for the speakers while the poco X7 supports dolby atmos and no high race audio support from the speaker as well.
The newly launched poco X7 has an IP rating of IP68 whereas the previous generation had IP54. While the previous generation was having MiUI 14, this time it comes with the new Xiaomi hyperOS 2.0.
Now for me this seems like a pretty solid bang for a buck phone. While looking at the specifications I know test that there are surely some upgrades there specifically on the display on the cameras as well as on the IP rating but my concern is that there are some down sides do it like we still don't have a 4K video recording from front camera as well as we don't have a telephoto lens in this price range.My opinion
All the storage type is still UFS 2.2 which is the deal breakup personally for me because I want some high speed in my device as I am a multi Tasker and I want to open multiple apps and the same time and ones to work across with apps but I feel that UFS 2.2 can be upgraded to UFS 3.1 which is a deal breaker for me.
Regarding design it's up to personal choice. I like the design some may not but that's totally user dependent. I know the poco X7 has a larger battery slightly higher from the last generation but still the charging speed has been slow which is also not a good sign for me because I want higher charging speed to be available in the box as well as the adapters.
And with the xiaomi hyper OS 2.0 rolling out and we have seen a lot of improvements over the previous hyper OS versions but still think that it still needs to be polished and over time I will see how it performs and how the company supports and optimizes with later software updates.
So if I am spending ₹22K on a smartphone that is above ₹20K price segment I would like to have these kinds of changes and modifications in my devices which are very crucial and small upgrades but it will be beneficial for a long term use. For me under ₹20K the poco X6 is a stealer deal while above ₹20K, the X7 isn't for me.
That's it for me today. Do tell me your opinion regarding the poco X7.
See you next time
