The Poko M7 Pro was launched in India in December as a medium distance budget offer, and we had to try it recently. It is surprising how modern smartphones offer a value at accessible prices, especially RS. 15,000, which is the price of twenty different types of this new Poko model. This amount of you, you get a big emulated display with a double rear camera setup with a 120 -herts refresh rate, 5,110mAh battery, a capable medium range chip set, and 50 megapixel primary sensor.
POCO is extremely competitive in the budget and the middle range segment while launching high medium phones like POCO X7 Pro. On paper, M7 Pro is also known as a great price of money, but how does it remain in real world use? Read to find out.

RS value of base variations. 14,999 and it has 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. Meanwhile, 8GB Ram and 256GB storage options will return you to Rs. 16,999.
Poko M7 Pro Design
Poko M7 Pro has three color options – lavender frost, lunar dust, and olive twilight. We received a variety of lunar dust (8GB RAM + 256GB storage) to review, which will definitely catch your eye. The phone features a double tone design on the back panel, which has a moon dust/sandwave pattern with one half. In the second half the fade ends. This combination is unique and, made with a square camera module, gives the phone a premium shape and feeling.

The camera module has a Poko Branding and the 5G logo below. The camera module is not much and there are curved edges, which is good. The back panel and frame, which also fade away, are all plastic.
It has a rating of IP64
The phone weighs 190 grams, decent, and it is only 7.99 mm thick. It also gets the IP64 rating, which improves the M6 Pro’s IP52. Volume swing chair and power buttons are placed on the right. You get a USB type-C port, microphone, loudspeaker, and SIM tray slot at the bottom. The upper part of the phone includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microphone, the other speaker, and an IR blaster.

Rising front, there is a 6.67 -inch AMOLED display with thin bells on the sides and a slightly thick bezel from the bottom. Poko claims that the phone offers 92 % of the screen -to -fold ratio.
Bezals on the display are minimal
The display offers 2,100 nets peak brightness, 120 herits refresh rate, and full HD+ resolution. Poko has used Gorlala Glass 5 for protection.
Poko M7 Pro Performance
Poko M7 Pro is good for watching the display content and playing the game. You get a three -color profile to choose and help them for dolby vision and HDR10+. The phone allows you to switch between 60Hz or 120Hz refresh rate or stick to the default adaptive format. 2,100 nuts of peak brightness translate the best indoor brightness, making sure you can read the screen directly in direct sunlight.

The phone operates with Xiaomi’s hypersonal skin in Android H14, and is a boat load of first installed apps and blotware. Most of these apps can be installed. The POCO has promised 2 years of OS updates, which means that the phone will not get an OS update after Android. UI dynamic images, scrolling, and software navigation were smooth throughout the review. When it comes to regular use, I have never had a big break.

In terms of performance, the phone performed very well in daily use. The Poko M7 Pro Medetic Dimension is equipped with 7025 ultra -chip set, with 8GB RAM and 256GBUFS 2.2 storage. This is not a particularly strong chip set, but it works well with all kinds of day tasks and even gaming. I run some benchmarks on the phone, and you can see the results below.

When gaming was talked about, the phone did a good job. I fired BGMI and Asphalt 9 on the phone, and both fled right without any problem in medium -sized settings. The touch answer was fine, and there was nothing to complain about it.
You get a dual speaker setup on the M7 Pro, and the sound quality is decent. The phone is loud, and there is no cracking in loud quantities, but it lacks the nest. The quality of the call was good, and I didn’t face any random call drops. The microphone and the airpace output were also correct.
The phone has a 20 -megapixel selfie camera that is placed inside the hole -maize cut -out
Rising the cameras, Poko has added 50 megapixel Sony Late 600 sensors to the back with OIS and F/1.7 aperture. A secondary 2 megapixel depth sensor and a 20 -megapixel selfie camera is front. The quality of the primary rear camera image is quite good in daylight conditions. Good detail, natural color, dynamic range and white balance. He performed decent in low light conditions and managed to preserve some details but with more noise.

2x zoom and portrait shots were decent, mostly with accurate tonnes and edge detection of the skin. Selfies were good, including a lot of details and tons of natural skin, but only in daylight. Low light performance is not bad and usable when there is enough light.

As far as the video is concerned, the phone offers 1080p 30fps support from the front camera as well as the front camera. The video performance from the back camera is decent with good details and colors. However, when there is heavy motion or sharp panning, stability is not very good. The front camera also works well in daylight conditions.

Now, let’s talk about battery life and charging. The Poko M7 Pro packs a 5,100mAh battery, which supports 45W fast charging. You also find a charger in the box. In our HD video loop test, the phone lasted for about 18 18 hours. Meanwhile, a full charge took about 1 hour 10 minutes.
Poko M7 Pro Decision
Poko M7 Pro, Money, Good Price. It offers several upgrades than his predecessor and is a capable actor. The 120Hz refresh rate, good primary rear camera, and a large AMOLED display of decent performance makes it a high contender in other phones of the class. Software and Low Light Camera performance are probably the most disturbing things about the phone. Otherwise, this is a solid budget middle -range smartphone.
Regarding alternatives, you can go for Motorola G64 (Review), which offers slightly better performance and better software. There is also IQOO Z9X (Review), which offers better performance or Redmi Note 14 5G, which mostly offers similar features with a 108 -megapixel main rear camera and ultra -wide sensor. However, the latter is also a bit more expensive.
