In this new installment two clear protagonists appear: the POCO M7 Plus 5G and the LITTLE M7 4GThey share many fundamentals (giant panel, enormous battery, and functional focus) and differ in their processor and connectivity.

The panel is the big draw: 6,9 inches with resolution Full HD + and a refresh rate of 144 Hz which offers a lot of play in navigation, networks and video. It does not seek records of brightness, but with 850 nits peak It does well outdoors.

In hand, the phone feels large but well-used. It weighs around 224 grams and the dimensions stay close to 171,08 x 82,05 x 8,55 mm, figures consistent with the battery it hides. The POCO M7 Plus 5G adds IP64 certification against dust and splashes, a plus of peace of mind for daily use.
