POCO X7 PRO Iron Man Edition - The Midrange KING is BACK! Market Disruptor Indeed!

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.
