Reviews for the Xiaomi Poco M7 5G
Source: NDTV Gadgets

At Rs. 9,999, the Poco M7 5G is one of the most value-for-money offerings currently available in India. It offers support for 5G connectivity and has a familiar-looking design, and offers decent camera performance during the day. Battery life and charging speeds are also on par with other similarly priced smartphones. It's disappointing to see the Poco M7 5G launch with Android 14 when Android 15 has been out for several months when its biggest rival — the Samsung Galaxy F06 5G — ships with the latest version and is slated to receive four Android OS version upgrades. Other alternatives to the Poco M7 5G include the Redmi A4 (Review), Redmi 14C 5G, and the Moto G35 (Review).

The POCO M7 currently retails for Rs 9,999 for the 6GB + 128GB variant and goes up to Rs 10,999 for the 8GB + 128GB configuration. The device nails essentials and offers a smooth 120Hz display, decent battery life, satisfactory daylight photography and good software support. Its key rival at this price is the Tecno Spark 30C (review). Both phones are evenly matched in terms of performance and battery life, though the Spark 30C has the advantage in low-light photography. However, it doesn’t come with a compatible charger in the box, which adds to the overall cost. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly phone with a great display and good longevity, the POCO M7 is definitely worth considering.

The POCO M7 5G is a decent phone that you can consider as a daily driver, if the usage is limited to essential tasks. If someone is looking for a valued proposition that they can rely on, is good for calling, some video streaming, and listening to music or playing casual games like Candy Crush then this smartphone might be the right pick.

The gap between budget and mid-range smartphones is narrowing by the day. Features such as 5G, once considered exclusive to premium devices, are now making their way into more affordable models—one of the many ways technology evolves, becoming more accessible to everyone.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

78.67%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
