We have shared initial details about the POCO X7 series. The POCO X7 is anticipated to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G. Indeed, the POCO X7 will closely resemble the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G, though there will be some alterations, particularly in the camera department. To reduce costs, the brand has opted for a different camera sensor for the POCO X7. While the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G features a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP3 camera sensor, the POCO X7 will incorporate a 50MP Sony IMX882 camera sensor. This adjustment aligns with typical Xiaomi strategies.
POCO X7 Details and Specifications
Although the exact launch date for the POCO X7 remains unclear, we have gathered some insights regarding the smartphones that Xiaomi is set to unveil. It has been confirmed that the POCO X7 will indeed be a rebranded variant of the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G. Both devices share the code name "malachite" and the POCO X7 will be equipped with the Dimensity 7300 Ultra processor.
Previous leaks suggested that the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ would use a MediaTek processor, but those claims have been proven incorrect. Moreover, it was initially expected that the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G would come with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. However, Xiaomi has made notable updates and enhancements to these smartphones compared to last year's models. The Pro+ versions will now feature a Qualcomm processor, while the Pro models will utilize a MediaTek processor.
Camera and Performance Features
Initially, this transition led to assumptions that the POCO X7 might be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. Ultimately, it has been confirmed that the POCO X7 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra, representing a significant upgrade from the previous POCO X6 5G.
In addition, the POCO X7 will include a 50MP main camera. Typically, products under the POCO brand prioritize performance and aim to maintain affordability, often sacrificing camera enhancements. The POCO X7 adheres to this approach. The smartphone will feature a Sony IMX 882 camera sensor, which mirrors the configuration of the Chinese version of the Redmi Note 14 Pro. Meanwhile, the global versions of the Redmi Note 14 Pro series will boast a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP3 camera sensor, exclusive to those models.
