Power meets personality: Why POCO’s new phones are a vibe not just a device

In a world where smartphones are starting to look, feel, and perform the same, POCO has just flipped the script in Nigeria with the launch of two bold, unapologetically different devices: the POCO X7 Pro and the POCO C71.

These aren’t just gadgets — they’re statements. Whether you’re chasing performance, aesthetics, or value, POCO has created two phones that are tailor-made for two completely different lifestyles. So… which POCO are you?

Let’s meet the contenders.

You’re not here to play games — unless you’re literally gaming, and in that case, you want it fast, fluid, and full screen. Enter the POCO X7 Pro, the smartphone equivalent of a sports car in a sea of sedans.

Running on the Flagship Dimensity 8400-Ultra processor, the X7 Pro delivers top-tier performance with the finesse of a ballerina and the aggression of a bulldozer. Apps open before you even realize you tapped them. Videos render smoothly. Games run at ultra-settings like it’s a casual Tuesday.

With 12GB RAM and a massive 512GB storage, forget clearing space — download, store, and flex everything. All of it.

POCO didn’t just throw in a 50MP camera — they gave it OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). That means shaky hands or bumpy rides won’t mess up your shots. Your Instagram feed just leveled up.

Who has time to look for charging sockets every few hours? Not you. The 6000mAh ultra-large battery ensures you can go a whole day (and maybe even the next) on a single charge. Plus, IP68 dust and water resistance means you can survive Lagos traffic and rainy season alike.

The X7 Pro comes in Black, Green, and a bold Yellow. Each one makes a statement. Serious? Go black. Fresh? Try green. Loud and proud? Yellow’s your shade.

All this power, for just ₦589,000. No, that’s not a typo.

Maybe you’re a student. Maybe you're a content creator on the rise. Maybe you're just tired of your old phone that freezes every time you open TikTok. Whatever your hustle, the POCO C71 is here to make sure you don’t miss a beat — or a beat drop.

The C71 sports a generous 6.88” immersive display. Watch Nollywood films, scroll endlessly, or read without squinting. It’s a screen that fits your vibe and your vision.

Capture every laugh, every outfit, every golden hour moment with the 32MP AI dual camera. Plus, smart scene detection makes your shots look professional, even when you’re just snapping lunch.

With Fingerprint and Face Unlock, your phone stays yours. Quick, secure, and no more remembering passwords like "AbujaBabe123!".

Don’t let your phone be the reason you miss a call from that job recruiter. The 5200mAh battery, supported by 15W fast charging, keeps you in the loop all day long.

The Octa-core processor inside makes sure apps run smooth, videos don’t lag, and you don’t have to say “sorry, my phone is hanging again.”

Choose your level:

  • 3GB + 64GB – ₦94,900
  • 4GB + 128GB – ₦106,900

Yep. Those are the real prices. And yes, you’re welcome.

Available in Midnight Black, Sandy Gold, and Ocean Blue, the C71 is sleek, stylish, and way too cool to stay hidden in your pocket.

Glad you asked. You can grab the POCO X7 Pro or POCO C71 at trusted retailers across Nigeria, including:

… And more other authorized stores near you.

The POCO X7 Pro is a productivity powerhouse wrapped in flagship design, while the POCO C71 is an affordable all-rounder that doesn’t compromise on experience. They're different, yet equally driven by the same POCO promise: high performance, great value, and a whole lot of personality.

So here’s the real question:

Are you the power user who never slows down?

Or the rising star who deserves better tech on a tighter budget?

Whatever your answer is, there’s a POCO for that.

POCO – Everything You Need. Nothing You Don’t.

Ready to upgrade? The streets are watching. Your POCO moment is now.
