Poco is preparing to expand its Poco M7 Plus lineup in India with a more affordable entry point. The company has officially announced the arrival of a 4GB RAM variant, joining the existing 6GB and 8GB models that were launched just last month.
Branded as the “4GB Limited Edition Variant”, this version is expected to be available in relatively smaller numbers compared to its higher memory counterparts. Poco says the move is a direct response to consumer demand for a budget-friendly device that does not compromise on essential performance.
While Poco has not revealed the pricing for the 4GB variant, it will be sold exclusively through Flipkart. Sales are set to begin on September 23, with early access available to Flipkart Black and Plus members a day earlier.
The company has also yet to confirm whether the new variant will retain the same 128GB internal storage as the existing models, although storage expansion of up to 2TB via microSD remains a supported feature of the device.
The Poco M7 Plus is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset, which strikes a balance between efficiency and mid-tier performance. Out of the box, it runs on Android 15 with Poco’s HyperOS 2 layered on top, giving users access to the latest software features and optimizations. The phone also includes support for expandable storage, catering to users who want extra space for apps, photos, and media without needing to rely solely on internal memory.
One of the standout features of the Poco M7 Plus is its massive 7,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, which not only supports 33W fast charging but also offers 18W reverse wired charging.
This means the device can double as a power bank for other gadgets. Battery capacity has become a key selling point for consumers who need longer usage times without constant recharging, and Poco has clearly leaned into that demand.
The display is another area where the Poco M7 Plus attempts to stand out. It comes with a large 6.9-inch FullHD+ LCD panel boasting a smooth 144Hz refresh rate.
This makes it an appealing choice for mobile gamers and those who stream high-definition content, as the combination of size and refresh rate ensures a fluid visual experience. While AMOLED panels dominate higher price tiers, Poco’s choice of LCD allows it to keep costs down while still offering an immersive screen experience.
Camera performance is handled by a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP front-facing camera. While not in flagship territory, these sensors are tuned for social media-friendly photography, video calling, and everyday captures.
The inclusion of a side-mounted fingerprint scanner adds convenience and security, ensuring quick unlocks without the need for in-display sensors. The phone also comes with an IP64 rating, offering basic resistance against dust and water splashes, which provides peace of mind in daily use.
Currently, the Poco M7 Plus is available in India in two configurations. The 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant is priced at INR 13,499, while the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model costs INR 14,499. Both versions are available in Aqua Blue, Carbon Black, and Chrome Silver color options.
With the addition of the 4GB RAM model, Poco is expected to push the entry price even lower, making the M7 Plus accessible to a wider audience of budget-conscious buyers.
The Poco M7 Plus represents an interesting strategy for the company. By offering multiple RAM options, Poco is addressing different segments of the mid-range market.
The 4GB RAM variant caters to users who primarily need a large display and massive battery at an affordable price, while the higher RAM versions are better suited for multitasking and heavier gaming. This tiered approach mirrors Poco’s broader strategy of appealing to value-driven consumers who still want features usually reserved for higher-end devices.
