If you haven't bought a smartphone
last Christmas 2024 yet, congratulations
because as early as now, January of 2025,
we now have a flagship killer,
this new POCO X7 Pro.
This phone has flagship killer specs
without the flagship price tag.
Dimensity 8400 Ultra.
It can almost compete with the SD 8 Gen 3.
6,000mAh of battery, it's so big,
with 90W charging capability.
CrystalRes AMOLED display with 1.5K display.
Best of all, Sony IMX882 50MP main camera sensor.
Are you intrigued enough?
Finish this video.

This POCO X7 Pro Iron Man Edition with a 12GB of RAM
and 512GB of storage would be priced
at Php22,999.
But for early birds, this phone is only Php19,999.
The regular edition of the POCO X7 Pro
has three variants.
It has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage
priced at Php16,999.
But for early birds, it's only Php15,999.
It has 12GB of RAM and 256GB storage
priced at Php17,999.
For early birds, it's only Php16,999.
And of course, it has 12GB/512GB
with a regular price of Php19,999.
But for early birds, it's only Php18,499.
I'll be posting all of the official links
on the description box below.
So check out the official links.
One of the things that I really like about this phone
is its collaboration with Marvel.
We can see that the build on this Iron Man phone
is really good.
The Iron Man logo on the back is really looking nice,
plus it has an Avengers logo on the bottom
which is definitely cool for Marvel fans.
And they even have a custom box.
Its back is really beautiful and I was hoping
that its side are also custom, even just a metallic red
to make it look a lot more Iron Man-ish design.
But what they did here is just a very plain
matte black plastic frame on the sides
which is, I would say, just lacking a bit of effort.
But I'm happy with the red ring on the two camera modules
which are looking really nice.
It's really fitting on this phone.
And its red button looks also really good.
Another plus point is the theme here
which is what I didn't see on the POCO F6 Deadpool Edition.
I'll show you the theme in full detail.
One thing that I really like on this phone
is that its theme pack is really great.
Now, we know that its back is Iron Man theme.
And I've voiced out during our review
of the POCO F6 Deadpool Edition that the back looks great,
except that its theme is just a regular theme.
But on this one, POCO really did the extra work,
giving the theme that we want.
This is a special custom-made Iron Man theme.
We can see the icons here are specially made
for this phone.
Therefore, I would say that this is definitely
a special edition.
Not just only its back case but the experience
while using this phone is definitely better.
Overall, its design is good, my grip on this is great,
and I would say its bezels are just right.
Not the thinnest that I've seen
but its symmetrical bezels are quite decent.
This phone is the first one to sport the MediaTek
Dimensity 8400 Ultra.
And like I've said in the intro, this one can go
almost toe to toe with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
because POCO said that it can give an AnTuTu score
of up to 1.8 million points.
Honestly, I would hardly get that score.
After five tries, I only got 1.5 million points.
But I've asked other tech reviewers
and they were able to get 1.6 and 1.7 million score
here on AnTuTu Benchmark.
I'm not quite sure why it didn't work with mine.
This is the breakdown score that we got.
This is the score that I got on CPU benchmarking
on Geekbench.
And this is the GPU benchmarking.
Its thermals are looking okay.
After five minutes, it kind of went down a bit
and it throttled to 79% of its best performance.
POCO said that they've put liquid cooling technology 4.0
in this phone.
We'll find out later on gaming if it really cools better
compared to X6 Pro.
When it comes to battery, it's huge at 6,000mAh
which, for me, is a good upgrade over the X6 Pro.
Another good thing here is it supports 90W
of fast charging of Xiaomi.
Only thing is that this box doesn't come
with any charging brick.
If you're an early bird buyer, it would come together
with a free Xiaomi charging brick.
But I've heard that the regular X7 has
a charging brick included.
Charging from 0 to 100% on this phone using
the Xiaomi 90W fast charging brick,
it finishes at around 30 minutes.
And another thing that's delightful here
is that it can last one whole day
without even hitting the charging brick,
that is provided that you're not heavy into gaming
and video conferencing or video taking.
This can really last one whole day.
It can maybe even last one and a half day.
When I put this under the battery stress test
on PCMark, it was able to get 19 hours
and 7 minutes of screen-on time.
I tested this under 50% brightness
and 60Hz of screen refresh rate.
Let's talk about its display.
This phone has a 6.67-inch CrystalRes AMOLED display
with 1.5K resolution.
It has a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
And its touch sampling rate is 2,560Hz.
Maximum brightness is 3,000 nits.
And it also has 1,920Hz PWM dimming
which is definitely more friendlier to the eyes.
And its protection is Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
When I was scrolling on social media,
like Facebook, TikTok, Instagram,
and on other social media apps, you'll really feel
this phone to be very smooth because of its high refresh rate.
You won't feel your screen stuttering.
As long as your internet connection is good,
expect it to give you a great scrolling experience
on this phone.
And another thing, it has a Level 1
Widevine Security Level so you can definitely watch
HD content on this phone.
And when I was watching HD content on YouTube,
I was able to enjoy different videos
that I've watched here while I was on my vacation.
And especially watching anime and Korean novellas,
this phone is a winner.
This phone has stereo speakers, two holes on top
and five holes on the bottom.
Let's try it out to see if its speakers hold up.
(APT by ROSÉ & Bruno Mars)
Its sound is surprisingly good, and when I maxed out
its volume, it doesn't sound tinny.
So its speakers are good.
Let's talk about gaming.
Earlier, I said that it has a liquid cooling technology 4.0
which is an improved version of the liquid cooling technology
of POCO here.
And it has a POCO 3D IceLoop system.
And further giving you some ideas on its specs,
it sports a LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.
Plus, it has a WildBoost Optimization 3.0
on its Game Turbo mode.
So I played four games here: Honor of Kings,
Genshin Impact, Farlight 84, and Call of Duty Mobile.
If you're playing the game Honor of Kings
on POCO X7 Pro, expect that it would give you
a really good experience.
Setting it to all high settings that it can handle,
it'll really give you a really, really nice experience.
The gameplay was really smooth.
I almost didn't feel any frame drops along the way.
One thing I like about it is that its sound is good
and the screen's responsiveness is very fast.
