The POCO M7 Pro 5G just dropped in the Philippines, and it’s shaping up to be the strongest budget 5G contender right now. With a price starting at just ₱8,999 during launch week, it’s packed with flagship-like features—including a bright AMOLED display, a powerful new Dimensity chip, and surprisingly premium camera hardware. Here’s why this phone is worth checking out.
Built for speed with Dimensity 7025-Ultra and 12GB RAM
At the heart of the POCO M7 Pro 5G is the new MediaTek Dimensity 7025-Ultra processor—designed for smooth multitasking and fast 5G gaming. It racked up an impressive 477,003 on AnTuTu, making it one of the most powerful chips in its price range.
It also comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and another 12GB of virtual RAM through Memory Extension. Paired with 256GB of fast UFS 2.2 storage, you’ll have more than enough room and speed for games, apps, and everyday use.
Brightest display ever on a POCO M-Series phone
Whether you’re binge-watching or gaming outdoors, the M7 Pro 5G’s 6.67″ AMOLED display is made to impress. It hits a peak brightness of 2100 nits—the highest ever on a POCO M-Series—and supports a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate with 2160Hz instant touch sampling for lag-free responsiveness.
It’s not just bright, it’s also built for eye comfort. The display is TÜV Rheinland certified for Low Blue Light, Flicker Free, and Circadian Friendly performance, plus SGS eye-care certified—great for those long scroll sessions.
Long-lasting battery with fast 45W charging
The 5110mAh battery is backed by 45W turbo charging, giving you power that lasts and recharges fast. POCO also included smart battery health features like charging habit optimization and aging prediction, which means your battery stays strong even after hundreds of charge cycles.
It’s even TÜV Rheinland certified to maintain over 80% efficiency after 1600 cycles—roughly four years of daily use.
50MP Sony camera with flagship-level stabilization
POCO stepped up its camera game this time. The M7 Pro 5G sports a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor with a wide f/1.5 aperture, improved light capture, and support for both OIS and EIS for ultra-stable video and photos—even in motion.
You also get 2X in-sensor zoom for clearer telephoto shots, a 20MP AI-powered front cam with smart wide-angle switching, and AI tools like Bokeh, Erase, and Sky Replacement. Night Mode even uses RAW Domain Ultra-Sense processing for better low-light photos.
Premium look, built to last
Despite its budget price, the M7 Pro 5G looks and feels like a higher-end device. It’s just 190g, with a slim 75.7mm profile and curved design that feels great in hand. Available in Green, Silver, and Purple, it stands out with a 3D-textured back and curved camera module.
It’s also IP64 rated for dust and water resistance, giving you extra durability for everyday spills and splashes.
Built-in AI with Google Gemini
The M7 Pro 5G comes pre-loaded with the Google Gemini app, letting you chat with an AI assistant that can help with writing, research, planning, and more. It’s another tool that adds value, especially for students and creatives.
