Xiaomi is expanding its smartphone portfolio with the new Poco X7 series. The mid-range devices score points with strong performance and large batteries – at prices starting at 300 euros.
Xiaomi started the new year with the launch of the Poco X7 series, bringing two powerful mid-range smartphones to market. Particularly noteworthy is the limited Iron Man edition of the Poco X7 Pro, which will not only delight Marvel fans.
The premium model in the series, the Poco X7 Pro, is powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 8400 Ultra chip. This eight-core processor achieves a clock speed of up to 3.25 GHz. This puts the device just behind Xiaomi’s current top model, the Xiaomi 14 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
Both models have a 6.67-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hertz. The Pro model reaches a maximum brightness of 3,200 nits, while the standard model reaches 3,000 nits. A special feature of the new series is the IP68 certification, which offers protection against dust and water.
The X7 Pro’s battery has a capacity of 6,000 mAh and can be fully charged in 42 minutes with 90 watts. The standard model is equipped with a 5,110 mAh battery that can be charged with 45 watts. Both devices are delivered with a suitable power supply.
The main camera in both models uses a 50-megapixel sensor from Sony with optical image stabilization. This is complemented by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. The standard model also has a 2 megapixel macro camera. The front camera on both models has a resolution of 20 megapixels.
For Marvel fans, Xiaomi is offering a special Iron Man edition of the X7 Pro. This version features a special design with Iron Man’s helmet and the Arc Reactor known from the films on the back.
Prices for the Poco X7 start at 299.90 euros for the version with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The Pro model is available from 369.90 euros. The Iron Man Edition costs 449.99 euros and is only offered with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. At the market launch, Xiaomi is granting a discount of 50 euros on all models until January 16, 2025.
Xiaomi promises three Android updates and four years of security patches for both devices. The smartphones are now available in different color variants: The X7 Pro in black, green and yellow, the standard model in black, green and silver.
