Xiaomi today presented its first smartphones this year - POCO X7 and POCO X7 Pro. What do they offer and how much do they cost?
POCO X7
POCO X7 has an interesting styling with a "photographic stove" on the back of the housing, which can be had in one of three colours. The front is occupied by a 6.67-inch CrystalRes Flow AMOLED display with a resolution of 1.5K, refresh rate up to 120 Hz and full coverage of the DCI-P3 palette. The screen has 12-bit colours, a typical brightness of 500 nits, a maximum of 1200 nits and a peak at 3000 nits.

The rear camera has a main, 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 matrix and optical image stabilization and an excellent f/1.5 aperture, while the wide-angle is 8-megapixel with an f/2.2 aperture. The set is completed by a 2-megapixel macro camera. The heart of the smartphone is the 4-nanometer MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra processor, supported by LPDDR4X and UFS 2.2 memories and virtual RAM. The smartphone is powered by a 5110 mAh battery with 45-watt charging. The equipment also includes stereo speakers, an infrared transmitter, NFC, a sub-screen fingerprint reader and IP68 tightness.

POCO X7 Pro
POCO X7 Pro we have already met under the name Redmi Turbo 4, although in a slightly different colour scheme. This model also has a 6.67-inch CrystalRes Flow AMOLED display with a resolution of 1.5K, refresh rate up to 120 Hz, but brighter - typical brightness is 700 nits, maximum -1400 nits, and peak at a point - 3200 nits. A different glass was also used - Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. The selfie camera is still 20-megapixel, as are the rear main and wide-angle cameras. The MediaTek Dimensity 8400-Ultra processor and LPDDR5X and UFS 4.0 memory were used here, as well as the LiquidCool Technology 4.0 cooling system and POCO 3D IceLoop. However, this model has been deprived of the macro camera, giving in return a larger battery - 6000 mAh - and faster, 90-watt charging. Additional equipment is similar - we will find IP68 tightness, stereo speakers and an infrared transmitter, similar to the base model. This smartphone has dimensions of 160.75 x 75.24 x 8.29/8.43 mm, and weighs 195 / 198 g. This model will also be offered in an exclusive version, distinguished by its design inspired by the iconic superhero, POCO X7 Pro Iron Man Edition. This is the result of cooperation with Marvel Studios. POCO X7 Pro is available in three colours: black, green, and yellow, and in two variants: 8+256 GB and 12+512 GB. The 8+256 GB variant is available at a promotional price of $279 ($20 discount from the recommended $299), and the 12+512 GB variant is available at $339 ($30 discount from the recommended $369).
