Which phone has the better display?

POCO M7 5G: more screen area

At about 6.88 inches, the POCO display is larger. Its India comparison-listed LCD has HD+ resolution, so it prioritizes viewing area over pixel density and AMOLED contrast.

realme P1 5G: sharper AMOLED panel

The P1 has a 6.67-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED panel with a stated refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Its smaller screen has higher listed resolution, and AMOLED can deliver deeper blacks than an LCD. realme notes that refresh-rate availability depends on the app and scenario.

Choose POCO if screen size matters most; choose realme if you value resolution and AMOLED contrast. The global POCO M7 page describes a different product configuration, including FHD+ resolution and up to 144Hz, and should not be used as the India M7 5G specification source. POCO’s global specifications also caution that regional details can vary.

How do their cameras compare?

Both phones are listed with a 50MP primary rear camera, but matching megapixel counts do not establish matching image quality. The P1 also has a listed 2MP portrait camera, while the POCO listing reports expandable storage.

On paper, the realme has the higher-resolution selfie camera: 16MP versus 8MP on the POCO. Resolution alone does not establish better photos; sensor quality, processing, lighting, and software also affect results. The available specifications do not provide matched independent camera tests.

Battery capacity and charging

For the India POCO M7 5G, an India comparison lists a 5160mAh battery and 18W charging. realme India gives the P1 a 5000mAh typical battery capacity (4880mAh rated) and 45W SUPERVOOC charging. The reported capacity difference is small; it does not by itself predict which phone lasts longer in everyday use.

realme publishes lab-use claims of 518 hours standby, 85 hours music playback, 31 hours calling, and 17 hours YouTube playback. Those are manufacturer test results, not a matched independent comparison, and realme says results can vary with test setup and software. Its listed 45W charging rate also depends on using compatible charging equipment.

Do not substitute the global POCO M7’s 7000mAh battery and 33W charging figures for the India M7 5G figures above. The official global listing is for a materially different variant. Its page also contains inconsistent adapter and package wording, so confirm charger inclusion for the exact India package before buying.

Performance, storage, and protection

The phones use different processors: Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 in the India POCO comparison listings and Dimensity 7050 5G on realme India’s P1 page. The specifications alone do not establish which will feel faster for a particular workload. realme publishes a 603,998 benchmark score from its own lab and cautions that results vary by test environment; it is not an independently reproduced, directly comparable result for both phones.

Storage listings vary: the POCO comparison data shows 128GB and reports expandable storage, while the P1 comparison listing includes 128GB and 256GB variants. Check the seller’s exact RAM and storage configuration rather than assuming every listing offers the same SKU.

The listed ingress ratings are IP52 for POCO and IP54 for realme. These ratings describe tested resistance to dust and water ingress, not permission to submerge the phones. realme specifically says its protection testing does not mean the device should be charged while wet.

What is the price difference?

When 91mobiles was accessed in 2026, its comparison showed the POCO M7 at ₹12,499 at Flipkart and the realme P1 at ₹13,999 at Flipkart—a ₹1,500 difference. This is a retailer price snapshot, not an official list price or a guaranteed current offer. The cited information does not establish current Amazon prices or availability. Check the live listing, seller, stock, and exact variant before deciding.

Which should you buy?

Choose the realme P1 5G if

  • You prefer a sharper FHD+ AMOLED screen over a larger HD+ LCD.
  • You want the higher stated selfie-camera resolution.
  • You value the stated 45W charging rate.

Choose the POCO M7 5G if

  • You want the larger listed display.
  • The lower observed Flipkart price is still available for the configuration you want.
  • You have verified the India SKU and its package contents with the seller.

If performance is your deciding factor, look for matched independent tests of the exact India models and configurations; the processor names and realme’s own lab score are not enough to declare a reliable winner.
