Poco is gearing up for the debut of its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the Poco M7 5G, with an official launch set for March 3 in India, as reported by industry insiders to Digit. This upcoming model aims to shake up the sub-Rs10,000 market by incorporating cutting-edge features such as a 4nm Qualcomm processor, Turbo RAM, and various enhancements.

Sources close to the information have disclosed that the Poco M7 5G will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, offering robust performance coupled with up to 6GB of RAM. This combination is expected to provide a smooth user experience, making it a strong contender in its price segment.

An official teaser for the Poco M7 showcases a design that boasts noticeably slimmer bezels compared to its predecessor, the Poco M6. The device maintains a punch-hole design for the front-facing camera, which indicates a focus on maximizing screen real estate. The rounded edges of the frame contribute to a cohesive aesthetic that aligns with earlier models. Notably, on the rear side, there is a circular camera module designed to accommodate what appears to be dual cameras.

Earlier leaks indicated that the Poco M7 appeared in a Google Play Console listing, which corroborated several specifications we now know. The M7 is set to feature the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, which includes two Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.2GHz along with six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores running at 2.0GHz. Display-wise, users can expect a resolution of 1640 x 720 pixels, consistent with the M6 model.

Additionally, reports suggest that the device will operate on Android 14, despite Android 15 being available for some time now. This announcement raises potential concerns regarding long-term software support for the M7, especially since the prior model, the M6 Pro 5G, was assured two major OS updates. Users anticipating regular updates may want to keep this in mind.
