POCO M7 Pro 5G review: AMOLED, OIS and a Sony sensor for the price of a feature phone, almost.
The features budget phones usually delete.
M7 Pro 5G keeps an OIS Sony sensor, a real AMOLED, the headphone jack, microSD and an IR blaster — at $199. The Dimensity 7025 is the give-back. As a do-everything cheap phone that still takes a steady photo, it punches well above the price.
