Display and design
Both phones use 6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates and HDR10+ support. The X7 Pro 5G pulls ahead with significantly higher peak brightness and tougher Gorilla Glass 7i protection.
| Specification | POCO X6 Pro 5G | POCO X7 Pro 5G | What it means |
|---|
| Display type | AMOLED | AMOLED | Deep blacks, vivid colour, and low power draw compared to LCD |
| Screen size | 6.67 inches | 6.67 inches | Comfortable for gaming and streaming; large enough for split-screen |
| Resolution | 1220 × 2712 px (1.5K) | 1220 × 2712 px (1.5K) | Sharp enough that individual pixels are invisible at normal viewing distance |
| Pixel density | 446 ppi | 446 ppi | Crisp text and fine detail in photos and video |
| Refresh rate | 120 Hz | 120 Hz | Smooth scrolling, gaming, and animations with no visible stutter |
| Touch sampling rate | 480 Hz | 480 Hz (2560 Hz in Game Turbo) | Higher rate in gaming mode reduces input lag on the X7 Pro |
| Peak brightness | 1,800 nits | 3,200 nits | X7 Pro is dramatically more legible outdoors in Indian summer sunlight |
| HBM brightness | 1,200 nits | 1,400 nits | HDR content looks noticeably more vivid on the X7 Pro |
| PWM dimming | 1,920 Hz | 1,920 Hz | High-frequency dimming reduces eye strain during extended use |
| Screen protection | Corning Gorilla Glass | Corning Gorilla Glass 7i | X7 Pro's 7i offers better resistance to drops and scratches |
| HDR support | HDR10+ | HDR10+ | Both deliver HDR content on Netflix and YouTube |

| Build material | Plastic back | Eco-leather / plastic back | X7 Pro's eco-leather variant offers a premium, grippy feel |
-> Pro tip: If you use your phone outdoors often — on a commute, at a construction site, or near water — the X7 Pro's IP68/IP69 rating and 3,200-nit display make a meaningful real-world difference.
Performance and software
The X6 Pro 5G uses the Dimensity 8300 Ultra, while the X7 Pro 5G upgrades to the Dimensity 8400 Ultra — an all-big-core design that scores roughly 21% higher on AnTuTu and 49% higher on Geekbench multi-core.
| Specification | POCO X6 Pro 5G | POCO X7 Pro 5G | What it means |
|---|
| Processor | MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra | MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra | X7 Pro's chip is a generation newer with better sustained performance |
| CPU | Octa-core, up to 3.35 GHz | Octa-core, up to 3.25 GHz | X7 Pro uses an all-Cortex-A725 design for more consistent multi-core output |
| Architecture | 64-bit, 4 nm | 64-bit, 4 nm | Same fabrication node; both are efficient for their class |
| GPU | Mali-G615 MC6 | Mali-G720 MC7 | X7 Pro's GPU handles graphically demanding games better |
| RAM | 8 GB / 12 GB LPDDR5X | 8 GB / 12 GB LPDDR5X | Enough for heavy multitasking and keeping many apps open simultaneously |
| Storage type | UFS 4.0 | UFS 4.0 | Fast app load times and file transfers on both phones |
| Cooling | Vapour chamber | Hybrid cooling system | Both are designed for sustained gaming without throttling |
| Operating system | Android 14, HyperOS | Android 15, HyperOS 2 | X7 Pro has a cleaner, more current software base |
| AnTuTu score | ~1,299,678 | ~1,577,069 | X7 Pro is approximately 21% faster overall |
| Geekbench multi-core | ~4,189 | ~6,257 | X7 Pro shows a significant lead in parallel processing tasks |
| Fingerprint sensor | Optical, under-display | Optical, under-display | Convenient and consistent unlocking without a physical button |
| Speakers | Stereo | Stereo | Directional audio for gaming and media; useful without headphones |
| Audio features | Dolby Atmos | Dolby Atmos | Spatial audio on supported content |
-> Pro tip: The X7 Pro's Dimensity 8400 Ultra uses eight identical Cortex-A725 cores, which means it sustains performance better under heavy load — particularly relevant for long gaming sessions.
Camera
The X6 Pro 5G pairs a 64MP primary sensor with ultra-wide and macro cameras. The X7 Pro 5G switches to a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with a wider f/1.5 aperture and gains 4K video at 60fps, making it the stronger low-light and video phone.
| Specification | POCO X6 Pro 5G | POCO X7 Pro 5G | What it means |
|---|
| Rear camera setup | 64MP + 8MP + 2MP | 50MP + 8MP | X6 Pro has a macro lens; X7 Pro drops it for a better primary sensor |
| Primary camera | 64MP, f/1.7, wide | 50MP, f/1.5, Sony IMX882, wide | X7 Pro's wider aperture captures more light; better for evenings and indoors |
| Sensor size | 1/2.0" | 1/1.95" | X7 Pro's slightly larger sensor improves dynamic range |
| Ultra-wide camera | 8MP, f/2.2 | 8MP, f/2.2 | Same ultra-wide on both; good for group shots and landscapes |
| OIS | Yes | Yes | Optical image stabilisation reduces blur in handheld shots and video |
| Autofocus | Yes (PDAF) | Yes (PDAF) | Phase detection autofocus locks on subjects quickly |
| Digital zoom | Up to 10x | Up to 10x | Software-enhanced zoom; best results up to 3–4x |
| Front camera | 16MP, f/2.4 | 20MP, f/2.2, OmniVision OV20B | X7 Pro captures sharper selfies with more light |
| Rear video | 4K @ 30fps | 4K @ 60fps | X7 Pro shoots smoother 4K — a real upgrade for content creators |
| Front video | Full HD @ 30fps | Full HD @ 30fps | Same for video calls and vlogs |
-> Pro tip: If you shoot a lot of video or do reels and YouTube Shorts, the X7 Pro's 4K@60fps rear camera and better low-light sensor are a meaningful step up over the X6 Pro.
Storage and connectivity
Both phones use UFS 4.0 storage, dual-band Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. Neither supports expandable storage. Both also carry an IR blaster.
| Specification | POCO X6 Pro 5G | POCO X7 Pro 5G | What it means |
|---|
| Internal storage | 256 GB / 512 GB | 256 GB | X6 Pro offers a 512 GB option for heavy users |

| USB | Type-C 2.0 | Type-C 2.0 | Charging and data transfer; no USB 3.x speeds on either |
Battery and charging
The X7 Pro 5G carries a significantly larger 6,550 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 90W charging, topping out in approximately 42 minutes. The X6 Pro 5G has a 5,000 mAh cell with 67W charging — adequate for a full day but less suited to power-heavy use.
| Specification | POCO X6 Pro 5G | POCO X7 Pro 5G | What it means |
|---|
| Battery capacity | 5,000 mAh | 6,550 mAh | X7 Pro lasts significantly longer on a single charge |
| Battery type | Li-Polymer | Silicon-carbon | Silicon-carbon is denser and degrades more slowly over time |
| Charging speed | 67W Turbo Charging | 90W Turbo Charging | X7 Pro charges from 0 to 100% in approximately 42 minutes |
