POCO X7 Pro Price Range in India
POCO India has confirmed that the POCO X7 Pro will be priced under Rs 30,000, making it a highly competitive offering in the mid-range smartphone market.

Meanwhile, the regular POCO X6 launched at Rs 21,999 for the same configuration.

One of the standout features of the POCO X7 Pro (India variant) is its massive 6,550mAh battery, a significant upgrade compared to the 6,000mAh cell in the global model.
