EDITORIAL: While seemingly incremental, this is a real upgrade over excellent 2024 Magic 6 Pro. Only the camera is similar but the physical build, (flatter) screen, fingerprint reader, speakers, water resistance, OS, AI features and even battery charging speed (both weird and wireless) have been upgraded. There is a difference in the SiCarbon battery size this time: some markets will receive Magic 7 Pro with a 5270mAh pack, others with a 5850mAh sized battery. The smaller battery model will still give you a full-day battery life but not the 36hr level performance you will get from the bigger battery version. Either way, check before you buy. What is still missing is the SD memory expansion slot and a more polished desktop replacement software.

PROs
SnapDragon 8 Elite processor with excellent overall performance, 36hr endurance from 5850mAh Silicone Carbon battery (smaller in Europe) with sub-50min 100W (80W wireless) charging, >1500nits bright 450ppi LTPO OLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 water protection, excellent 50MP 24mm OIS main + 200MP 120mm OIS periscope telephoto + 50MP 13mm ultrawide (all with PDAF), excellent 50MP 23mm OIS PDAF selfie, 7 years of very stable and feature rich OS with great AI integration, Desktop replacement feature
CONs
large 223gr 77.1 body, somewhat inconsistent videos across lenses, lack of expandable SDmemory storage (while offering 8k video recording)

11+14+15+12+12+3+5+0+5+0 = 77

EDITORIAL: Xiaomi got it right with this outstanding phone. The processor, excellent battery life and charging, top screen, main camera and OS update support. It is a mystery why there is no AF on the selfie (again), no SDmemory expansion and no desktop replacement functionality. This is a China market exclusive.

PROs
SnapDragon 8 Elite processor, a 6100mAh Silicone Carbon battery with 2-day+ endurance, 90W wired or 50W wireless charging, a bright 500+ppi LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, a 50MP main + 50MP tele with OIS PDAF + a 50MP AF ultrawide
CONs
this is a China-only phone, selfie with no OIS or even AF, lack of expandable SDmemory storage and a lack of desktop replacement software (updated Mar 26, 2025)
