The best equipped of the duo, the Poco power. It actually offers the Dimensity 8400-Ultra chip engraved in 4 nm, recently announced by MediaTek with only high-efficiency Cortex-A725 cores (eight in total), the main one of which is clocked at 3.25 GHz.
This smartphone thus promises gamers to deliver high-end performance and is also equipped with a cooling system supposed to limit overheating in play. The chip also opens the doors to AI for the smartphone, which is used to improve in-game performance. , especially for upscale the resolution of Genshin Impact (only compatible title to date) up to 1.5K.
Beyond the gamingthe Poco X7 Pro has a solid technical sheet. There is a 6.67-inch Full HD+ Amoled screen promising brightness up to 3200 cd/m² and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. There is also a double back photo module (50 Mpx with wide-angle f/1 .5 and 8 Mpx ultra wide-angle), as well as a 6000 mAh battery compatible with 90 W charging.
Let us specify on the subject of charging that Xiaomi indicates that the batteries of its two X7s are capable of withstanding 1600 cycles while retaining 80% of their capacity. At its price level, the Poco X7 Pro unsurprisingly skips wireless charging.

This less expensive model offers a simpler AI component, because it has a less powerful chip: the Dimensity 7300-Ultra from MediaTek which we saw in its Energy version within theOppo Reno 12 Pro or in standard grind in the Motorola Edge 50 Neo. This chip is accompanied here by 8 to 12 GB of RAM and 256 to 512 GB of storage. The smartphone, whose weight does not exceed 185 g, still has a 5110 mAh battery compatible with wired charging at 45 W.
Price-wise, Xiaomi is resolutely playing the seduction card. Its X7 Pro is priced from €369 in its 8/256 GB configuration, with a €50 reduction as part of its launch. The X7 tops out at €299 (8/256 GB), and even €249 as part of its launch. Particularly attractive prices for terminals available now.
