71I decided on poco x7 because I had so much fond memories of xiaomi phone, and it was at budget pricepoint. But oh boy, xiaomi software is biggest pile of shit now.

The ZuPick verdict
4.1out of 5
Strong buyBest at display, weakest at value.
The POCO X7 5G stands out as a feature-rich all-rounder in this price range. Its display, performance and main camera are all notably strong, and the battery and build quality keep the package well balanced.
Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.Performance4.5
Performance is strong for this price. It scores about 647,000 on AnTuTu, which translates to smooth everyday use, fast app switching and good results in heavier games with sensible settings.Camera4.1
The camera setup is a real strength for the segment. A 50 MP main camera with OIS, autofocus, a bright f/1.5 lens and 4K video gives it a clear edge for sharper photos and steadier low-light shots.Display4.7
This is one of the better screens you can get at this price. The AMOLED panel, 120 Hz refresh rate, sharp 1220x2712 resolution and very high brightness make it excellent for video, reading and outdoor use.Battery3.7
Battery life is comfortably dependable rather than standout. The 5500 mAh battery and 45W charging make it easy to get through a full day and top up without much waiting.Value3.2
You are paying more than entry options in this range, but the package justifies much of it with a better display, stronger performance, OIS camera and premium durability features.Price history

Pros & cons
What’s good
Excellent AMOLED display
The 6.67-inch AMOLED panel is sharp at 1220x2712 and runs at 120 Hz, so scrolling, video and gaming all look smooth and crisp. Peak brightness of 3000 nits also helps a lot outdoors.
Strong everyday performance
It scores about 647,000 on AnTuTu, which is among the better results in this price range. Combined with 8 GB RAM, 5G and UFS 2.2 storage, it feels fast in daily use and handles demanding apps well.
Capable main camera
The 50 MP main camera gets a big boost from OIS and a bright f/1.5 lens. Daylight shots should come out detailed, and low-light photos have a better chance of staying sharp than many rivals here.
Reliable battery setup
The 5500 mAh battery is comfortably above the usual 5000 mAh mark, and 45W charging is quick enough to avoid long top-up waits. It is a practical setup for full-day use.
Premium durability extras
IP68 protection and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 are standout features at this price. They add real peace of mind for buyers who want a phone that feels tougher than average.
What’s not
Price is on higher side
At ₹17999, this phone sits close to the top of the segment. That makes the value less aggressive than cheaper options that still offer 5G, big batteries and smooth displays.
Battery life is good, not class-leading
The battery is large, but the tested endurance is more solid than exceptional. Heavy users will still get through a day, though some rivals stretch further.
Extra cameras are basic
The main camera does the heavy lifting here. The 8 MP ultra-wide and 2 MP macro are more for occasional use than consistently strong results.
What owners say
From Redditr/PocoPhonesan owner
The software experience is worst I have ever encountered on an android phone. And I have used a TCL phone as my google maps/second phone that I got for free from my network provider.

3I did a review on it and what you get for the price is insane! Absolutely insane! IP68 Rating,12-bit OLED screen with Dolby Vision! Even most flagships don't get that. Stereo speakers are nice. Performance is okay with the Dimensity 7300.
r/PocoPhonesu/Alex_Bace · 15 mo ago
3The problem of that phone is the software. It's atrocious. Full of ads, sluggish,not smooth, full of bloatware - so many pre-installed apps and some of them you cannot even uninstall.
r/PocoPhonesu/Ziku90 · 15 mo ago
1What software issues? I mean, for me the battery life is not great at all, I had/probably still have some NFC issues (HyperOS stuff). The main camera is OK, the wide (8MP) & selfie are not so good.
r/PocoPhonesu/Ziku90 · 15 mo ago
1Lastly some photos I have taken were not properly oriented, do not know why.
r/PocoPhonesu/Mythylover
you live in India from my understanding there are way better phones for that price that offer way better battery and same performance the phone is mediocre compared to others with mid cameras mid battery and mid software
r/PocoPhonesan owner · 13 mo ago
25It's front camera is 20mp in number,but gives photo without any detail like any 2mp from 2014. My 5 year old moto g9 play has better 8mp camera for selfies, while this costed me 5k rupees more.
r/PocoPhonesan owner · 13 mo ago
25The display too has its own problems like not responding sometimes and software throwing me out from any app occasionally 🙂. Battery feels like a countdown even after setting 60 hertz.
r/PocoPhonesan owner · 12 mo ago
85It honestly feels like Xiaomi found a battery in the trash and just decided to throw it into the X7. The UI is painfully slow, opening a single post on social media takes ages, and having more than two apps open makes the whole phone lag like it’s running on a potato.
