POCO M7 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Dhruv Joshi]()
Verdict
The POCO M7 is a good choice for those looking for a reliable budget phone under Rs 10,000. It delivers strong multimedia performance, good battery life, decent cameras, and long-term software support. While it ticks many boxes, it would have been even better with fewer pre-installed apps and improved low-light photography.
Pros
- Great multimedia output
- Good performance
- Reliable daylight cameras
- Decent battery life
Cons
- Poor low light cameras
- Pre-installed apps

The POCO M7 features a 50MP dual rear camera setup alongside an 8MP selfie camera. In daylight, the rear camera delivers visually appealing shots with decent contrast, sharpness, and mostly natural-looking colour reproduction, though some images can appear slightly washed out. The dynamic range is satisfactory, and the 50MP lens preserves a fair amount of detail.The selfie camera captures satisfactory shots with natural-looking colours, though the level of details tends to be on the lower end. Low-light photography is where the M7 struggles a lot, producing softer images with noise and a lack of detail, even with Night Mode enabled.

Performance & software

The POCO M7 runs on the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC, backed by up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. If you need more space, there's a dedicated microSD card slot for expansion.For everyday tasks like browsing social media, taking photos, and messaging on WhatsApp, the POCO M7 handles things smoothly. There's a slight lag when opening apps or the gallery, but it's minimal and not a major issue. You might notice occasional stutters when multitasking or keeping multiple apps running in the background, which is expected at this price point.The phone can also handle casual gaming, but it's best to keep expectations in check. At low graphical settings, COD: Mobile runs at a playable 50 FPS, while BGMI, which demands more power, manages around 28 FPS on HD graphics.Out of the box, the POCO M7 runs HyperOS, based on Android 14. The interface, however, feels cluttered due to several pre-installed apps on first boot.Fortunately, most of these pre-installed apps can be easily uninstalled. However, it's a bit disappointing that the POCO M7 ships with Android 14 when Android 15 is readily available. This effectively shortens its major OS support by a year, although this is not uncommon among budget devices.Overall, the UI remains smooth and user-friendly. Some noteworthy features include Game Turbo, which optimises performance for gaming, and Reading Mode, which lets you adjust the display to black and white, minimal colours, or a paperback-style filter—something frequent readers will appreciate.SmartphonesPre-installed appsSoftware mode POCO M7622 OS updates + 4 years securityTecno Spark 30C442 years securityInfinix Hot 50472 years security

Battery & charging
+
The POCO M7 packs a 5,160mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging, and POCO includes a 33W charger in the box. With moderate use, the phone easily lasts a full day, delivering around 6 hours of screen-on time with regular browsing, light gaming, and multimedia.However, constant 5G usage drains the battery faster, so that's something to keep in mind. Charging from 20 to 100 percent takes about 1.5 hours, which is reasonable for its price range. That said, the phone does get quite warm while charging, so that's worth noting as well.SmartphonesBattery size Charging time POCO M75160 mAh 96 minutes (18W)Tecno Spark 30C5000 mAh 120 minutes (18W)Infinix Hot 505000 mAh 123 minutes (18W)
