The POCO X7 Pro (review) is well known for its performance, and we recently compared it against the similarly priced Motorola Edge 50 (review) to see which device delivered better results. As expected, the performance-focused POCO X7 Pro won the comparison. Now, it’s time to compare their cameras, an area where Motorola devices tend to perform well.
Our evaluation focuses on key factors like colour accuracy (how close the colours are to the actual scene), detail level, sharpness, skin tones, and texture. By analysing these elements, we aim to provide an objective conclusion on which device delivers the best camera performance.
Verdict
The Moto Edge 50 wins with its more balanced camera performance for ultrawide, selfie, and low-light images. The POCO X7 Pro, on the other hand, performs well in daylight shots, but its aggressive colour tuning holds it back in other scenarios.

Daylight
Both phones deliver comparable daylight shots, with the main difference being their colour science. The POCO X7 Pro boosts saturation and contrast to make images pop, while the Moto Edge 50 also enhances colours but in a more balanced way. When it comes to detail, the POCO X7 Pro has a slight edge in sharpness. Overall, the POCO X7 Pro takes the win in this round.
Winner: POCO X7 Pro
Ultrawide
The colour science shifts for both phones in ultrawide shots, but the Moto Edge 50 takes the lead here. It retains more detail, handles exposure better—especially in darker areas—and delivers more balanced colours. In contrast, the POCO X7 Pro’s shot appears overly vibrant, making it appear less natural.
Winner: Moto Edge 50
Portrait
For portrait shots, both phones have their drawbacks. The POCO X7 Pro oversaturates colours and smooths out the skin, making the shot look less natural. Conversely, the Moto Edge 50 struggles with edge detection and its bokeh effect appears artificial. As a result, this round ends in a tie.
Winner: Tied
Selfie
The Moto Edge 50 captures better selfies than the POCO X7 Pro for a few reasons. Its skin tone reproduction is more natural, and it preserves facial details well, whereas the POCO X7 Pro tends to smooth out features. While the Moto Edge 50 does add a bit of saturation, it enhances the overall look rather than making it feel unnatural.
Winner: Moto Edge 50
Low light (with night mode)
The POCO X7 Pro’s low-light shots appear softer compared to the Moto Edge 50. Motorola’s device handles exposure better, bringing out more scene details while preserving colours more accurately. It also controls light flares more effectively than the POCO X7 Pro, making it the clear winner in this round.
Winner: Moto Edge 50
Conclusion
The Moto Edge 50 wins this camera comparison by delivering more balanced results across different scenarios. While the POCO X7 Pro has an advantage in daylight shots with slightly better sharpness, its colour tuning is too aggressive in most cases. The Moto Edge 50 produces better ultrawide shots, captures more accurate skin tones in selfies, and controls saturation well.
The Motorola smartphone also performs better in low light, offering improved exposure, better detail retention, and reduced light flares. While the POCO X7 Pro has its strengths, the Edge 50’s more consistent camera performance makes it the better choice overall.
