POCO M7 appears with a giant battery and 6,9-inch display at a low price

Published by Timo Altmeyer on the 19. August 2025

The Xiaomi sub-brand POCO is releasing another model in the 7th generation, one that stands out for its battery. A massive 7.000 mAh battery, a 6,9-inch display, and a starting price of €169,90 (MSRP) make the device one of the most affordable models in the current POCO lineup, yet also one of the most durable.

Flagship battery in the mid-range

The POCO M7 uses silicon-carbon technology, which was previously found in more expensive models. According to the manufacturer, this allows for up to two days of use or 28 hours of video playback. Even at -20 degrees Celsius, the smartphone should last for 14 hours of video playback thanks to the integrated Battery Extender chip. Even with one percent remaining charge, the manufacturer says it still offers 64 minutes of talk time.

Charging is possible with 33-watt fast charging or 18-watt reverse charging. There are also clever battery features like "Zero Power Instant On" and "Boost Charging" that are designed to make everyday smartphone use a bit more convenient.

Entertainment in large format

The 6,9-inch FHD+ display is the largest in the M series to date and features AdaptiveSync with up to 144 Hz. TÜV Rheinland certification for Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free is designed to make extended use easier on the eyes. The setup is complemented by Hi-Res Audio and up to 200 percent volume boost, clearly geared toward gaming and streaming.

Inside, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 processor is powered by up to 16 GB of RAM (via memory fusion) and up to 2 TB of storage expansion. The software runs Xiaomi HyperOS 2, including the Google Gemini AI assistant and "Circle to Search." This marks the first time Google's latest AI feature has been introduced to the affordable POCO series.

Camera and design

For the camera, POCO relies on a dual system with a 50 MP rear camera and an 8 MP front camera. Modes like Auto Night Mode and Dynamic Shots are designed to improve image quality.

Visually, there are three variants: a simple black, a silver with subtle accents, and a mecha-inspired blue. All models are IP64-certified and therefore protected against dust and splash water.
