For those of us who appreciate cutting-edge tech without the hefty price tag, POCO has just dropped something really interesting: the new M7 Pro 5G. This phone isn’t just about hopping onto the 5G bandwagon; it’s packing some serious upgrades across the board, from performance to visuals, all while keeping affordability in mind.
POCO’s Head of Product Marketing, Angus Ng, pretty much sums it up, saying the M7 Pro 5G is all about delivering “next-level 5G performance and entertainment.” And honestly, looking at the specs, it seems they’ve really aimed to cater to both the everyday user and the tech enthusiast.
Under the hood, this phone boasts a Dimensity 7025-Ultra processor, which apparently makes it one of the top performers in its category. We’re talking smooth 5G gaming and snappy loading times, especially with up to 12GB of RAM (plus the option to expand it virtually) and a generous 256GB of storage.
Battery life is always a concern, right? Well, the POCO M7 Pro 5G comes with a substantial 5110mAh battery and super-fast 45W charging. That means you can stay entertained throughout the day and power up in a flash. Plus, they’ve even got TÜV Rheinland certification for long-term battery health, so you can expect it to last.
Now, let’s talk about the screen. This phone features a vibrant 6.67″ AMOLED display with a super-bright peak of 2100 nits. That’s the brightest we’ve seen on a POCO M-Series device, promising crisp visuals even when you’re out and about under the bright Manila sun. The 120Hz refresh rate and high touch sampling rate also mean smoother scrolling and more responsive gaming. And for those late-night browsing sessions, it’s got eye-care certifications to reduce blue light and flicker.
For the audiophiles, the POCO M7 Pro 5G includes a dual speaker system with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio. And if you’re in a noisy environment, there’s a 300% Volume Boost feature to make sure you can still enjoy your media.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the upgraded 50MP rear camera with a Sony IMX882 sensor, which captures significantly more light. It also has a wide aperture for those nice, natural bokeh effects. Plus, with both optical and electronic image stabilization, your photos and videos should come out sharp, even when you’re on the move. The 2X in-sensor zoom and AI-powered zoom further enhance image detail. And for selfies, there’s an upgraded 20MP front camera with a wide-angle option to fit everyone in the frame.
The phone also utilizes POCO’s Imaging Engine, which uses AI to optimize image quality and color accuracy. You’ll even find features like a dedicated night mode and AI-powered bokeh, erase, and sky editing tools.
In terms of design, the POCO M7 Pro 5G manages to be both slim and durable, with a comfortable feel in hand. It comes in three stylish colors – Green, Silver, and Purple – with a unique textured design. It even has IP64 dust and water resistance for added peace of mind.
And to top it off, it comes with the Google Gemini app, giving you access to an AI assistant for all sorts of tasks.
For those in the Philippines, the POCO M7 Pro 5G is launching on April 3, 2025, with some really attractive early bird prices exclusively on Shopee from April 3-10, 2025.
