NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Xiaomi Poco M8 Power is the more complete choice: its AMOLED display, 1,800-nit brightness and 8,000 mAh battery decide the verdict. The Xiaomi Poco M7 4G makes more sense for 256 GB of storage or a 144 Hz refresh rate.
The M8 Power uses AMOLED instead of the M7 4G’s IPS LCD, with 1,800 nits versus 850 nits and 88.4% usable surface versus 84.9%. It also brings a metal body, IP65 versus IP64, and Android 16 with 4 years of updates, while the M7 4G has Android 15 and 2 years.
The M8 Power leads performance with 930 versus 473 in Geekbench 6 Single-Core and 2,210 versus 1,510 in Multi-Core. It also has 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, against the M7 4G’s 4G, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. Its 8,000 mAh battery and 45 W charging beat 7,000 mAh and 33 W; the M7 4G’s 256 GB is the main compromise.
Xiaomi Poco M8 Power
The Xiaomi Poco M8 Power is better for buyers seeking AMOLED, an 8,000 mAh battery and 5G connectivity.
Xiaomi Poco M7 4G
The Xiaomi Poco M7 4G is the better buy only if it costs less; its clear advantages are 256 GB and a 144 Hz display.
