The POCO M7 Pro 5G is an affordable 5G phone from POCO. It was announced in India on December 17, 2024, and went on sale there on December 20. Europe and the UK followed in April 2025. In Europe, the 8 GB + 256 GB model costs €239. The 12 GB version costs €259. It sits in the budget mid-range segment.
Design and display
The phone has a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a 2400 x 1080 resolution and 394 ppi. The refresh rate reaches 120 Hz, and peak brightness is rated at 2,100 nits. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 covers the front. The panel also supports Dolby Vision and 960 Hz PWM dimming.
The body uses a plastic frame and a matte plastic back. It measures 7.99 mm thick and weighs 190 grams. In addition, the phone is rated IP64 for dust and splash resistance. It comes in Black, Lunar Dust, Lavender Frost and Olive Twilight, depending on the market.
Performance
Inside is the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 in its Ultra version, built on a 6 nm process. Its eight CPU cores reach up to 2.5 GHz, and the GPU is an IMG BXM-8-256. It comes with 8 GB or 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM. Storage is 256 GB or 512 GB of UFS 2.2. A hybrid slot also accepts a microSD card.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC and an IR blaster. The USB-C port runs at USB 2.0 speeds. There is also a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a pair of stereo speakers.
Cameras
The main camera uses a 50 MP Sony sensor of 1/1.95-inch size. It has an f/1.5 aperture and optical image stabilization. A 2 MP depth camera sits next to it, so there is no ultrawide lens. On the front, a 20 MP camera handles selfies. Both the rear and front cameras record video at up to 1080p and 30 fps.
Battery and charging
A 5,110 mAh battery powers the phone. It supports 45 W wired charging. However, it has no wireless charging. Indian and global boxes include a 45 W charger. European and UK boxes ship without one.
Software and updates
The phone launched with Xiaomi HyperOS based on Android 14. For European models, Xiaomi promises four major Android updates and six years of security patches. Indian models get a shorter promise of two Android updates and four years of patches.
Should you buy the POCO M7 Pro 5G?
The M7 Pro 5G suits buyers who want a bright AMOLED screen and an OIS camera for little money. Features like the headphone jack, microSD slot and IP64 rating add practical value. On the other hand, the chipset is modest, video stops at 1080p, and there is no ultrawide camera. POCO has since released the M8 Pro 5G as its successor, so compare prices before you buy.
