Sometimes, a phone comes along that makes you stop scrolling and look twice — and for me, the Poco M7 Plus 5G is one of those. I’ve seen plenty of smartphones over the years, but the moment I heard about a 7,000mAh Silicon Carbon battery packed into one of the slimmest designs in its class, I knew this was different. It’s not just about raw numbers — it’s about a promise: a phone that can keep up with you without gasping for breath halfway through the day. And honestly, that’s something I’ve been wishing for.
Design That Defies Its Battery Size
When you think of a phone with a 7,000mAh battery, you probably imagine a chunky brick. But the Poco M7 Plus 5G feels like it’s rewriting that story. It’s surprisingly slim, light in the hand, and still manages to carry that massive power pack. The moment you pick it up, it doesn’t feel like the bulky battery-first devices we’ve all seen before. The Aqua Blue, Carbon Black, and Chrome Silver colours give it a modern, premium look — the kind you’d be happy to flash in public without a cover.
The IP64 rating means it can handle splashes and dust without you panicking, and the side-mounted fingerprint scanner adds to the practicality. It’s designed for real life, not just a spec sheet.
Display That’s Built for Eyes and Speed
I’ve experienced screens that either look great or feel smooth — but the Poco M7 Plus 5G gives you both. Its 6.9-inch Full-HD+ display runs up to 144Hz refresh rate with 288Hz touch sampling, making every swipe and tap snappy. Watching videos feels richer thanks to the 850 nits peak brightness, and the TÜV Rheinland certifications reassure me that those long binge sessions or endless scrolling nights won’t be a nightmare for my eyes. Whether it’s gaming, streaming, or just doomscrolling, this display feels like it’s made for the modern smartphone life.
Power Under the Hood
Inside, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor is ready to handle whatever I throw at it. Paired with up to 8GB LPDDR4x RAM (expandable virtually to 16GB), the multitasking feels effortless. Apps open quickly, games load without frustration, and the phone runs cool even under heavy use. Storage-wise, you get up to 256GB UFS 2.2, which is more than enough for photos, videos, and apps without constantly deleting old stuff.
Poco is promising two years of major software updates and four years of security patches, and it runs HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15, so you’re starting with the latest and most polished version.
That Massive Silicon Carbon Battery
Now, let’s talk about the heart of this device — the 7,000mAh Silicon Carbon battery. I’ve used plenty of big-battery phones, but the technology here is designed to make it last longer without degrading quickly. Poco claims you can stream videos for 27 hours or use navigation for close to 12 hours straight. In my experience, that’s a whole weekend without worrying about a charger. And when you do need to plug in, the 33W fast charging gets you back up quickly. There’s also reverse charging, so you can help out a friend when their phone gives up.
Cameras That Get the Job Done
The 50MP primary camera on the back, paired with a secondary sensor, captures crisp, detailed shots in daylight. I’ve noticed the colours are natural, not overly saturated, and it handles everyday photography well. The 8MP front camera is decent for selfies and video calls, and both can record up to 1080p at 30fps — perfect for casual content creation or calls.
Price and Availability in India
The Poco M7 Plus 5G is priced at ₹13,999 for the 6GB+128GB variant and ₹14,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant. Sales start August 19 at 12 PM IST on Flipkart. There’s a launch offer with an instant ₹1,000 discount on HDFC, SBI, or ICICI Bank cards, plus an additional ₹1,000 exchange bonus on eligible devices. For what you’re getting — especially that battery and display — this feels like one of the most aggressive price-to-feature ratios in the segment.
