Poco M7 4G arrives with a familiar set of specs

A few hours ago, Poco made the M7 Plus official, but the brand had also prepared a bit of a surprise to go along with it: the Poco M7 4G. Not to be confused with the M7 5G, which launched back in March, the 4G-only model has appeared in Poland and is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 685 4G SoC.

This is paired with either 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, or 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. MicroSD cards up to 2TB are supported for expansion. The phone sports a 6.9-inch 1080x2340 LCD screen with 144Hz refresh rate, 288Hz touch sampling rate, and 850-nit peak brightness, a 50 MP rear camera with f/1.8 aperture and 1080p video recording support, and an 8 MP selfie snapper with f/2.0 aperture and 1080p video recording.

The lights are kept on by a 7,000 mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging, but the phone isn't sold with a charger in the box (at least in Europe). There's also a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and IP64 dust and water resistance. The M7 4G runs Xiaomi's HyperOS 2. It measures 171.08 x 82.05 x 8.55 mm and weighs 224g.

If all of these specs feel familiar, that's because they're nigh-on identical to those of the recently released Redmi 15 4G.
