XIAOMIPOCO X7 Pro smartphone, 12+512GB, black, 50MP main camera with OIS, 6000mAh (typ) battery with 90W HyperCharge, IP68, AI features (no charger included), 2 year Warranty

It's a great phone. I personally don't have an issue with the camera. Very fast, long lasting battery and just delete what bloat ware your can and hide the rest away. Doesn't come with a charger but not expensive to buy.

Owned this for six months now and it is excellent. For £300 this phone is as good as most more expensive ones. Quick start up, good graphics and quick processor for games. The camera and lenses are also very good. Quick recharge time and can go over two days without needing a charge. Highly recommended

I am so happy with the phone. It works perfectly, the chipset is fast, and it has coped perfectly with some high-end games like Wuthering Waves. The battery life is excellent, and it charges so fast. I am very pleased with my purchase and would buy Poco products again. Great value for money, in my opinion, flagship quality.

My previous phone was a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, the same manufacturer as this phone, just made in 2021.I bought the 12GB and 512GB storage option for the X7 Pro.The phone itself is well made, no charger included on mine. There are a USB type C cable, an ejection tool, for the Sim card and a rather strange looking "ring holder".It feels reasonably premium in quality, placed in the case then it feels just the same as any other protected phone. The buttons are responsive.I did buy my own case, preferring one with a cover that closes, but the silicone open type black case that is supplied is decent enough. There seems to be a plastic film covering the screen, I have left mine on, no issues when using the fingerprint scanner by doing so.On first use I was most impressed, the fluidity of the phone, when opening or moving from apps or functions, is both fast and very responsive. That responsiveness does not seem to change much when it has been in use for a full day and none of the apps used have been closed. That is most apparent.With 12GB of RAM and the huge 512GB of storage it seems that my needs are covered for some considerable time.Having been familiar with this brand of phone, with my previous 10 Pro, and having used Android phones for many years, it was ok when setting this one up, as was the general functionality of it.However, there are some functions, like camera settings, that might not be so obvious when selected. Like clicking "Dynamic Shot", have not got a clue what that means, no help nor any manual included then I'll probably need to hunt the Internet for meaning.The camera itself is a upgrade over the pretty decent camera on the 10 Pro that I had. You can notice some sharpening and "over processing" on some shots, if using the cameras AI and HDR type functions, but not overly bad. Whilst that can be subjective I have been very impressive with the photos, the clarity and detail, with OIS, optical image stabilisation, really does a great job here.So, both video and photos are very well done, overall.The phone does come with lots of pre installed apps, many of them can be removed. Some though are baked into the device and will not be removed easily. Some of those are Xiaomi's own and have no removal option.This is not any different to other phones that I have used, buying an Android phone without some baked in apps from the manufacturer is impossible these days.They are not overly intrusive though.The screen size is comparable to my 10 Pro, and so I have accepted that a six inch plus is the norm these days, and it is responsive to use and seems, so far, to be usable in the bright day light with the sun shining on the screen.The speakers are great, loud and the sound does not seem to distort. One being on the top and the other at the bottom.Some negatives.....No charger included, I knew that as it is mentioned in the advert. Still it would be a nice to have item for the fast charging of the large battery that has lasted, so far, for well over a full days use. In fact, taking lots of video and photos and a lot of other use, the battery level still showed 60% at the end of the day.The std X7 has a dedicated 2MP Macro camera. The Pro model, the one I bought, does not. There were occasions when having that Macro camera was VERY useful, I miss that. However, many phones do not seem to have those these days.The fingerprint scanner, whilst being great, is on the bottom of the front of the screen. Impossible to use single handed whilst holding the phone. On the 10 Pro it was positioned on the On / Off button on the side. Being low down on the front, no it is awkward, but usable.Overall, especially for the price whilst on sale, it is an exceptional phone. Nice to see the 5G capabilities, service provider and Sim dependant. Great functionality, capacity and brilliant screen, with a two years warranty.Android 15, system update when first powered up, seems to be the std.No charger, front on screen fingerprint scanner and no macro camera, being my negatives.Recommended and I hope this review has helped you.

Switching to this phone from a Nokia 8.1 was an absolute breeze, since I could use the Google data transfer thing to do it easily. The screen is excellent, smooth and responsive at 120 Hz. Plenty of storage at least for me, and there was little bloatware on the device, and whatever bloatware there was was very easy to uninstall. It is way faster than the phone I had before, and it can comfortably run most games at a smooth 60/120 fps. For me, it was great value for money, since this phone can rival other flagship phones on the market right now. The battery life is alright, nothing major, but the 90W quick charging makes up for it as it can charge in around half an hour. The phone itself looks quite sleek, nothing amazing since it is just a thin brick with a screen, but the camera quality is solid as well, and all of the physical buttons work perfectly. However, it's slightly disappointing that it doesn't come with a charger in the UK, but it did come with a phone ring, which was nice.

The phone is excellent but the battery was not hence I sent it back. I expect a phone to last at least the working day, this one had to be charged after about 6 hours.Still good value.

upgraded from an aging F3 because the cameras and hdr and battery life was showing it's age.hdr, is great, much much brighter than i expected and it has dolby vision! seriously this thing can get bright.the cameras - also a huge upgrade from the F3, they're also have hdr and a live photos-like feature in the gallery app.battery life is Incredible, lasts a full day even with heavy use, iP68 rating and Gorilla Glass 7i are nice to haves and unfortunatly I can't say much about charging speed because they don't include a charger in the box 💔.There are moments were you're reminded you're using a budget phone, for example at lower brightness the screen is just doesn't feel right, on an iPhone low brightness works fine and even the F3 didn't have issues at low brightness like this does. The viewing angles are not perfect, its still oled but at extreme angles there is a noticible colour shift. The adjustable frame rate on this is awful, i leave it at 120hz. This also doesn't support dolby atmos, something the F3 does btw. HyperOS is fine, I don't like how they include ads everywhere and how I can't uninstall those apps like I could on the F3.Overrall this is a top top phone, held back by the small niggles such as hyperos and obvious cost cutting measures to reach this price point, also the fact they don't include a charger - please STOP COPYING EVERYTHING APPLE DOES!
