Xiaomi’s Poco brand is getting two new mid-range phones today, the X7 and X7 Pro. Both devices made headlines in the last couple of weeks, so we pretty much knew everything about the Poco X7 series before the phones were actually introduced earlier today.
Despite the fact that these are no flagships, Poco X7 and Poco X7 Pro offer great bang for the buck. For starters, Poco claims the X7 Pro is the segment’s most powerful phone with MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra. It’s also the phone with the largest battery in India and the country’s first phone with Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0.
