99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you haven't bought
a smartphone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
last Christmas 2024 yet,
congratulations

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because as early as now,
January of 2025,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we now have a flagship killer,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this new POCO X7 Pro.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This phone 
has flagship killer specs

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
without the flagship price tag.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dimensity 8400 Ultra.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It can almost compete
with the SD 8 Gen 3.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
6,000mAh of battery,
it's so big,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with 90W charging capability.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
CrystalRes AMOLED display
with 1.5K display.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Best of all, Sony IMX882
50MP main camera sensor.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Are you intrigued enough?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Finish this video.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(introduction music)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This POCO X7 Pro Iron Man Edition
with a 12GB of RAM

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and 512GB of storage
would be priced

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at Php22,999.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But for early birds,
this phone is only Php19,999.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The regular edition
of the POCO X7 Pro

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
has three variants.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has 8GB of RAM
and 256GB of storage

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
priced at Php16,999.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But for early birds,
it's only Php15,999.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has 12GB of RAM
and 256GB storage

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
priced at Php17,999.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For early birds,
it's only Php16,999.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And of course,
it has 12GB/512GB

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with a regular price 
of Php19,999.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But for early birds,
it's only Php18,499.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'll be posting 
all of the official links

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on the description box below.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So check out the official links.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One of the things
that I really like about this phone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is its collaboration
with Marvel.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We can see that the build
on this Iron Man phone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is really good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Iron Man logo on the back
is really looking nice,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
plus it has an Avengers logo
on the bottom

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is definitely cool
for Marvel fans.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And they even have
a custom box.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its back is really beautiful
and I was hoping

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that its side are also custom,
even just a metallic red

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to make it look 
a lot more Iron Man-ish design.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But what they did here
is just a very plain

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
matte black plastic frame
on the sides

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is, I would say,
just lacking a bit of effort.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I'm happy with the red ring
on the two camera modules

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which are looking really nice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's really fitting 
on this phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And its red button
looks also really good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Another plus point
is the theme here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is what I didn't see
on the POCO F6 Deadpool Edition.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'll show you the theme
in full detail.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing that I really like
on this phone

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that its theme pack
is really great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, we know that
its back is Iron Man theme.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I've voiced out
during our review

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the POCO F6 Deadpool Edition
that the back looks great,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
except that its theme
is just a regular theme.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But on this one,
POCO really did the extra work,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
giving the theme that we want.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a special custom-made
Iron Man theme.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We can see the icons here
are specially made

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for this phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Therefore, I would say
that this is definitely

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a special edition.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Not just only its back case
but the experience

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
while using this phone
is definitely better.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Overall, its design is good,
my grip on this is great,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I would say its bezels
are just right.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Not the thinnest 
that I've seen

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but its symmetrical bezels
are quite decent.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This phone is the first one
to sport the MediaTek

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dimensity 8400 Ultra.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And like I've said in the intro,
this one can go

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
almost toe to toe
with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because POCO said that
it can give an AnTuTu score

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of up to 1.8 million points.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Honestly, I would hardly get
that score.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After five tries,
I only got 1.5 million points.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I've asked 
other tech reviewers

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and they were able to get
1.6 and 1.7 million score

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here on AnTuTu Benchmark.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not quite sure 
why it didn't work with mine.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the breakdown score
that we got.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the score that I got
on CPU benchmarking

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on Geekbench.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this is the GPU benchmarking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its thermals are looking okay.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After five minutes,
it kind of went down a bit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it throttled to 79%
of its best performance.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
POCO said that they've put
liquid cooling technology 4.0

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in this phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We'll find out later
on gaming if it really cools better

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
compared to X6 Pro.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When it comes to battery,
it's huge at 6,000mAh

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which, for me, is a good upgrade
over the X6 Pro.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Another good thing here
is it supports 90W

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of fast charging of Xiaomi.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Only thing is that
this box doesn't come

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with any charging brick.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're an early bird buyer,
it would come together

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with a free Xiaomi 
charging brick.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I've heard that 
the regular X7 has

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a charging brick included.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Charging from 0 to 100%
on this phone using

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Xiaomi 90W
fast charging brick,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it finishes at around 30 minutes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And another thing 
that's delightful here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that it can last 
one whole day

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
without even hitting
the charging brick,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that is provided that
you're not heavy into gaming

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and video conferencing 
or video taking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This can really last
one whole day.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It can maybe even last
one and a half day.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I put this
under the battery stress test

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on PCMark, it was able
to get 19 hours

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and 7 minutes of screen-on time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I tested this 
under 50% brightness

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and 60Hz of screen refresh rate.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's talk about its display.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This phone has a 6.67-inch
CrystalRes AMOLED display

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with 1.5K resolution.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has a refresh rate
of up to 120Hz.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And its touch sampling rate
is 2,560Hz.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maximum brightness is 3,000 nits.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it also has 1,920Hz
PWM dimming

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is definitely more friendlier
to the eyes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And its protection
is Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I was scrolling
on social media,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like Facebook, TikTok,
Instagram,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and on other social media apps,
you'll really feel

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this phone to be very smooth
because of its high refresh rate.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You won't feel 
your screen stuttering.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As long as your 
internet connection is good,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
expect it to give you
a great scrolling experience

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on this phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And another thing,
it has a Level 1

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Widevine Security Level 
so you can definitely watch

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
HD content on this phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And when I was watching
HD content on YouTube,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was able to enjoy 
different videos

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I've watched here
while I was on my vacation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And especially watching anime
and Korean novellas,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this phone is a winner.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This phone has stereo speakers,
two holes on top

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and five holes on the bottom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's try it out
to see if its speakers hold up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(APT by ROSÉ & Bruno Mars)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its sound is surprisingly good,
and when I maxed out

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its volume, 
it doesn't sound tinny.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So its speakers are good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's talk about gaming.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Earlier, I said that it has
a liquid cooling technology 4.0

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is an improved version
of the liquid cooling technology

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of POCO here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it has a POCO 3D
IceLoop system.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And further giving you
some ideas on its specs,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it sports a LPDDR5x RAM
and UFS 4.0 storage.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Plus, it has a WildBoost
Optimization 3.0

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on its Game Turbo mode.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I played four games here:
Honor of Kings,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Genshin Impact, Farlight 84,
and Call of Duty Mobile.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're playing the game
Honor of Kings

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on POCO X7 Pro,
expect that it would give you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a really good experience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Setting it to all high settings
that it can handle,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it'll really give you
a really, really nice experience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The gameplay was really smooth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I almost didn't feel
any frame drops along the way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing I like about it
is that its sound is good

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the screen's responsiveness
is very fast while I'm playing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And another thing that I like
is that its display is great,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
giving you a better experience
while gaming.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And after 30 minutes
of gameplay on Honor of Kings,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its maximum temperature
was 39°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When it comes to Genshin Impact,
I maxed out

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its graphic settings at high
and 60 FPS.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And its performance
is also very smooth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I would say that 
its gameplay on Genshin Impact

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is almost comparable
to a flagship.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I almost didn't feel
any frame drops

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
while playing against big bosses
here on Genshin Impact.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And another thing 
that I also liked about it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that the response
of every single touch is so fast.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this phone is probably one
of the better ones

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I've played
for Genshin Impact.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And honestly, 
I would highly recommend

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this phone if you're a player
of Genshin Impact.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After 30 minutes of gameplay,
the hottest it achieved was 43°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On Farlight 84,
we also maxed out

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its graphic settings,
and honestly, to my surprise,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its gameplay was good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Though there are 
some minor frame drops

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but you won't almost notice it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But those frame drops
don't happen that often,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's very minimal 
and only a handful.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing I liked about it
while playing Farlight 84

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that its screen is clear
while playing this game.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And after playing 
two ranked matches

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for 30 minutes,
the hottest it achieved

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was also 43°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On Call of Duty Mobile,
we maxed out its graphics

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and its gameplay
was really great,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was so happy with it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We put it to max frame rate
and it was able to give us

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a really good experience.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One thing I liked about it
is its loudspeaker

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that sounds great.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
While you're playing this game,
you'll hear the footsteps

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
coming from the left and right
and you'll really be able

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to distinguish it 
from the speakers.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not saying it's one
of the best speakers out there

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but I would say 
you'll really hear the footsteps

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from the left and right,
you'll be able to distinguish them

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from this phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And playing for 30 minutes,
it also reached 43°C.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Probably one of the highlights
on this phone is its camera.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has improved significantly
from the POCO X6 Pro.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its main camera sensor
is a Sony IMX882 50MP with OIS

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it also has included
an 8MP ultra wide lens.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its front-facing camera
is a 20MP front-facing shooter.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its back can shoot you
up to 4K and 60 FPS.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And its front can shoot you
up to 1080p and 30 FPS.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've been navigating
with this phone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm playing with its camera.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And to my surprise,
I got many great shots

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from this POCO X7 Pro.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And we can see that some
of these outdoor shots,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's just a very simple shot
but it looks really nice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Taking some building shots
on Quezon City

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you'd see that
even though it's kind of gloomy,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
these shots are captured nicely.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And trying to take
some flower shot

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even though the lighting
is not that great
