POCO X7: Curved 1.5K AMOLED and IP69 at the price the X-series made famous.
SpecEagle Editorial·Jan 2025·$299·Score 72/100
X7 pushes flagship-grade IP69 sealing and a curved 1.5K AMOLED down to $299, which is where POCO has always won. The Dimensity 7300 keeps it honest about gaming, and the ultrawide is an afterthought — but as an everyday phone that survives rain and looks expensive, it overdelivers.
