1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you haven't bought
a smartphone

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
last Christmas 2024 yet,
congratulations

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because as early as now,
January of 2025,

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we now have a flagship killer,

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this new POCO X7 Pro.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This phone 
has flagship killer specs

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
without the flagship price tag.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dimensity 8400 Ultra.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It can almost compete
with the SD 8 Gen 3.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
6,000mAh of battery,
it's so big,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with 90W charging capability.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
CrystalRes AMOLED display
with 1.5K display.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Best of all, Sony IMX882
50MP main camera sensor.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Are you intrigued enough?

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Finish this video.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(introduction music)

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This POCO X7 Pro Iron Man Edition
with a 12GB of RAM

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and 512GB of storage
would be priced

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at Php22,999.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But for early birds,
this phone is only Php19,999.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The regular edition
of the POCO X7 Pro

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
has three variants.

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It has 8GB of RAM
and 256GB of storage

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
priced at Php16,999.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But for early birds,
it's only Php15,999.

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It has 12GB of RAM
and 256GB storage

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
priced at Php17,999.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For early birds,
it's only Php16,999.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And of course,
it has 12GB/512GB

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with a regular price 
of Php19,999.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But for early birds,
it's only Php18,499.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'll be posting 
all of the official links

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on the description box below.

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So check out the official links.

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One of the things
that I really like about this phone

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is its collaboration
with Marvel.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We can see that the build
on this Iron Man phone

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is really good.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The Iron Man logo on the back
is really looking nice,

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
plus it has an Avengers logo
on the bottom

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is definitely cool
for Marvel fans.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And they even have
a custom box.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its back is really beautiful
and I was hoping

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that its side are also custom,
even just a metallic red

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to make it look 
a lot more Iron Man-ish design.

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But what they did here
is just a very plain

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
matte black plastic frame
on the sides

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is, I would say,
just lacking a bit of effort.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I'm happy with the red ring
on the two camera modules

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which are looking really nice.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's really fitting 
on this phone.

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And its red button
looks also really good.

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another plus point
is the theme here

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is what I didn't see
on the POCO F6 Deadpool Edition.

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'll show you the theme
in full detail.

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One thing that I really like
on this phone

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is that its theme pack
is really great.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now, we know that
its back is Iron Man theme.

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I've voiced out
during our review

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the POCO F6 Deadpool Edition
that the back looks great,

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
except that its theme
is just a regular theme.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But on this one,
POCO really did the extra work,

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
giving the theme that we want.

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is a special custom-made
Iron Man theme.

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We can see the icons here
are specially made

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for this phone.

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Therefore, I would say
that this is definitely

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a special edition.

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Not just only its back case
but the experience

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
while using this phone
is definitely better.

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Overall, its design is good,
my grip on this is great,

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I would say its bezels
are just right.

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Not the thinnest 
that I've seen

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but its symmetrical bezels
are quite decent.

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This phone is the first one
to sport the MediaTek

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dimensity 8400 Ultra.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And like I've said in the intro,
this one can go

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
almost toe to toe
with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because POCO said that
it can give an AnTuTu score

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of up to 1.8 million points.

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Honestly, I would hardly get
that score.

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
After five tries,
I only got 1.5 million points.

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I've asked 
other tech reviewers

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and they were able to get
1.6 and 1.7 million score

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
here on AnTuTu Benchmark.

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not quite sure 
why it didn't work with mine.

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is the breakdown score
that we got.

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is the score that I got
on CPU benchmarking

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on Geekbench.

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this is the GPU benchmarking.

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its thermals are looking okay.

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
After five minutes,
it kind of went down a bit

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it throttled to 79%
of its best performance.

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
POCO said that they've put
liquid cooling technology 4.0

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in this phone.

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We'll find out later
on gaming if it really cools better

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
compared to X6 Pro.

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When it comes to battery,
it's huge at 6,000mAh

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which, for me, is a good upgrade
over the X6 Pro.

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another good thing here
is it supports 90W

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of fast charging of Xiaomi.

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Only thing is that
this box doesn't come

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with any charging brick.

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you're an early bird buyer,
it would come together

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with a free Xiaomi 
charging brick.

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I've heard that 
the regular X7 has

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a charging brick included.

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Charging from 0 to 100%
on this phone using

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the Xiaomi 90W
fast charging brick,

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it finishes at around 30 minutes.

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And another thing 
that's delightful here

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is that it can last 
one whole day

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
without even hitting
the charging brick,

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that is provided that
you're not heavy into gaming

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and video conferencing 
or video taking.

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This can really last
one whole day.

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It can maybe even last
one and a half day.

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When I put this
under the battery stress test

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on PCMark, it was able
to get 19 hours

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and 7 minutes of screen-on time.

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I tested this 
under 50% brightness

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and 60Hz of screen refresh rate.

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's talk about its display.

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This phone has a 6.67-inch
CrystalRes AMOLED display

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with 1.5K resolution.

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It has a refresh rate
of up to 120Hz.

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And its touch sampling rate
is 2,560Hz.

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Maximum brightness is 3,000 nits.

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it also has 1,920Hz
PWM dimming

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is definitely more friendlier
to the eyes.

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And its protection
is Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When I was scrolling
on social media,

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like Facebook, TikTok,
Instagram,

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and on other social media apps,
you'll really feel

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this phone to be very smooth
because of its high refresh rate.

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You won't feel 
your screen stuttering.

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As long as your 
internet connection is good,

138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
expect it to give you
a great scrolling experience

139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on this phone.

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And another thing,
it has a Level 1

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Widevine Security Level 
so you can definitely watch

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
HD content on this phone.

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And when I was watching
HD content on YouTube,

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was able to enjoy 
different videos

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that I've watched here
while I was on my vacation.

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And especially watching anime
and Korean novellas,

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this phone is a winner.

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This phone has stereo speakers,
two holes on top

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and five holes on the bottom.

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's try it out
to see if its speakers hold up.

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(APT by ROSÉ & Bruno Mars)

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its sound is surprisingly good,
and when I maxed out

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
its volume, 
it doesn't sound tinny.

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So its speakers are good.

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's talk about gaming.

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Earlier, I said that it has
a liquid cooling technology 4.0

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is an improved version
of the liquid cooling technology

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of POCO here.

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it has a POCO 3D
IceLoop system.

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And further giving you
some ideas on its specs,

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it sports a LPDDR5x RAM
and UFS 4.0 storage.

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Plus, it has a WildBoost
Optimization 3.0

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on its Game Turbo mode.

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I played four games here:
Honor of Kings,

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Genshin Impact, Farlight 84,
and Call of Duty Mobile.

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you're playing the game
Honor of Kings

167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on POCO X7 Pro,
expect that it would give you

168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a really good experience.

169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Setting it to all high settings
that it can handle,

170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it'll really give you
a really, really nice experience.

171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The gameplay was really smooth.

172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I almost didn't feel
any frame drops along the way.

173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One thing I like about it
is that its sound is good

174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the screen's responsiveness
is very fast while I'm playing.

175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And another thing that I like
is that its display is great,

176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
giving you a better experience
while gaming.

177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And after 30 minutes
of gameplay on Honor of Kings,

178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
its maximum temperature
was 39°C.

179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When it comes to Genshin Impact,
I maxed out

180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
its graphic settings at high
and 60 FPS.

181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And its performance
is also very smooth.

182
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I would say that 
its gameplay on Genshin Impact

183
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is almost comparable
to a flagship.

184
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I almost didn't feel
any frame drops

185
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
while playing against big bosses
here on Genshin Impact.

186
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And another thing 
that I also liked about it

187
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is that the response
of every single touch is so fast.

188
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this phone is probably one
of the better ones

189
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that I've played
for Genshin Impact.

190
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And honestly, 
I would highly recommend

191
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this phone if you're a player
of Genshin Impact.

192
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
After 30 minutes of gameplay,
the hottest it achieved was 43°C.

193
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
On Farlight 84,
we also maxed out

194
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
its graphic settings,
and honestly, to my surprise,

195
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
its gameplay was good.

196
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Though there are 
some minor frame drops

197
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but you won't almost notice it.

198
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But those frame drops
don't happen that often,

199
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's very minimal 
and only a handful.

200
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One thing I liked about it
while playing Farlight 84

201
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is that its screen is clear
while playing this game.

202
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And after playing 
two ranked matches

203
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for 30 minutes,
the hottest it achieved

204
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was also 43°C.

205
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
On Call of Duty Mobile,
we maxed out its graphics

206
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and its gameplay
was really great,

207
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was so happy with it.

208
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We put it to max frame rate
and it was able to give us

209
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a really good experience.

210
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One thing I liked about it
is its loudspeaker

211
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that sounds great.

212
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
While you're playing this game,
you'll hear the footsteps

213
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
coming from the left and right
and you'll really be able

214
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to distinguish it 
from the speakers.

215
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not saying it's one
of the best speakers out there

216
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but I would say 
you'll really hear the footsteps

217
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from the left and right,
you'll be able to distinguish them

218
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from this phone.

219
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And playing for 30 minutes,
it also reached 43°C.

220
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Probably one of the highlights
on this phone is its camera.

221
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It has improved significantly
from the POCO X6 Pro.

222
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its main camera sensor
is a Sony IMX882 50MP with OIS

223
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it also has included
an 8MP ultra wide lens.

224
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its front-facing camera
is a 20MP front-facing shooter.

225
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its back can shoot you
up to 4K and 60 FPS.

226
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And its front can shoot you
up to 1080p and 30 FPS.

227
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've been navigating
with this phone.

228
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm playing with its camera.

229
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And to my surprise,
I got many great shots

230
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from this POCO X7 Pro.

231
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And we can see that some
of these outdoor shots,

232
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's just a very simple shot
but it looks really nice.

233
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Taking some building shots
on Quezon City

234
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and you'd see that
even though it's kind of gloomy,

235
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
these shots are captured nicely.

236
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And trying to take
some flower shot

237
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
even though the lighting
is not that great
