NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Xiaomi Poco M8s is the more complete choice for anyone seeking an AMOLED display and 5G-ready connectivity. The Xiaomi Poco M7 4G is the better buy only if it costs less.
The display creates a clear split: the Poco M8s uses AMOLED, while the Poco M7 4G uses IPS LCD. The M8s is also lighter, at 217 g versus 224 g, which is easier to notice in daily handling. Both share a 7,000 mAh battery, 33 W charging, and IP64 resistance, so the battery does not change the verdict.
For connectivity, the Poco M8s offers GSM, HSPA, LTE, and 5G, compared with GSM, HSPA, and LTE on the Poco M7 4G, plus Bluetooth 5.1 versus Bluetooth 5.0. The Poco M7 4G reaches 2.8 GHz versus 2.3 GHz, but that does not offset the M8s’s better display and more advanced mobile network.

Xiaomi Poco M7 4G
The Xiaomi Poco M7 4G is the better buy only if it costs less: its 2.8 GHz maximum clock does not offset the IPS LCD display and lack of 5G.
