POCO is about to launch its new mid-ranger, POCO X7 Neo in India. The phone has been spotted on Geekbench and now we have the details. With these specs, the POCO X7 Neo seems to be a value-for-money device in the mid-range segment.
Performance Benchmarks: A Solid All-Rounder
As per the Geekbench listing, POCO X7 Neo scores 943 in single-core and 2247 in multi-core. These numbers suggest the phone is well optimized for everyday performance whether it’s multitasking, running productivity apps, or moderate gaming.
6GB of RAM in the tested variant but higher RAM options are expected, possibly up to 8GB or 12GB. Android 14 is on board and X7 Neo might come with POCO’s custom skin—HyperOS which is designed to make the most out of Android 14 features.
For reference, POCO X6 Neo launched with 8GB and 12GB RAM variants so X7 Neo will likely follow the same trend and offer users more memory options to choose from.
POCO X7 Neo Processor: MediaTek Dimensity Chipset
The most interesting part of the Geekbench listing is the processor. Although the exact chipset is not confirmed, the listing suggests it to be the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 Ultra.
Dimensity 7025 Ultra has a 6+2 core architecture:
- 6 efficiency cores clocked at 2.0GHz for everyday tasks.
- 2 high-performance cores running at 2.50GHz for heavy workloads like gaming or heavy multitasking.
The PowerVR B-Series BXM-8-256 GPU will take care of graphics rendering for graphics-intensive applications making it a solid performer in the mid-range segment.
POCO X7 Neo vs. Redmi Note 14
By the way, the POCO X7 Neo seems to be a rebranded Redmi Note 14 which recently launched in India. POCO has followed this strategy many times, making minor but significant changes to differentiate their devices. For example, the POCO X6 Neo which is a budget variant of Redmi Note 13 5G made some subtle changes to make it stand out.
If X7 Neo is same as Redmi Note 14 we can expect:
- A 6.67-inch AMOLED display, offering vivid colors and excellent brightness.
- 5110 mAh battery, for heavy users.
- 45W fast charging, ensuring quick top-ups when needed.
These two features along with POCO branding can make X7 Neo a top contender in the segment.
What to Expect at Launch?
X7 Neo is already looking good with the performance benchmarks and rumored specs. POCO might introduce some new features to differentiate it. POCO is known for delivering value for money and X7 Neo is expected to continue the trend.
As the launch gets closer more details like camera specs, storage options and design variants will emerge. If X7 Neo follows the same timeline as its predecessor a March 2024 launch seems possible and we can’t wait.
Conclusion
X7 Neo is shaping up to be a solid mid-range device in India with good performance, modern software and likely a competitive price. Geekbench scores and rumored specs suggest a device that can cater to everyday users and gamers and power users.
Wait for that. 😉👍️ 👊️
