    • Smooth performance in daily tasks and gaming, particularly on the Pro model with the Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset.
    • Responsive in-display fingerprint sensor for quick unlocking.

    What customers dislike about Poco X7 (8GB + 256GB)?

    • Mediocre camera performance, specifically with the lower-quality ultrawide and essentially 'useless' 2MP macro sensors.
    • Minimum screen brightness is still too high for comfortable reading in pitch-black environments.
