ya, definitely u need extra care than those usual hard surface . after all its a soft surface.
not advisable using without a case. its might peel off if u drop the phone or might get stained too
so i bought a hard PC transparent case, so i still can see the design and color of the phone.

tks for the feedback..so there's a risk a dark colored TPU/silicone casing might stain the yellow leather as well.

No one should be buying Poco phones for their cameras primarily. However, this LYT600, which is how Sony is rebranding IMX882, is also being used in Realme, Vivo, Oneplus. At 1/1.95", its small sensor size sets the stage for expectation. It does not do zooms well but overall picture quality might be better than your expectations. From a manufacturing standpoint, the LYT600 has one advantage not many people might know. It is very compact and hence on the Poco X7 Pro, you don't get a huge camera bump. Poco X7 Pro does not rock much while on the table. Word is that because of this compactness, some other manufacturers might want to add a periscope lens to further enhance LYT600's zoom capabilities.

They just using what's cheap and still being manufactured which happens to be the lyt-600
Used to be the ov64b on every phone but heng no longer being produced anymore

Even $140~180 Redmi Note 13/14 4G have a better 108mp hm6 1/1.67" sensor
And Transsion putting in 1/1.56" camera into their under $200 phone (Base variant Tecno Camon 40, Infinix Note 50)

Still i think it's fine for a Performance phone, but alot of people on elsewhere on the internet(thankfully not on HWZ) claiming X7 Pro having a good camera is very dishonest. Even among other imx882/lyt600, their isp tuning is also quite bad versus their peers

You are correct in that Redmi Note 13 is using the Samsung ISOCELL HM6. Pros are that it is indeed a larger sensor and has a higher megapixel count. It can supposedly capture slow-motion pictures better. Cons are that the autofocus is slower and less accurate. Samsung, in general, makes more affordable phone camera sensors than Sony, which is the market leader. So I might argue that the ISOCELL HM6 may be cheaper than the LYT600.

Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco are three different lines of phones under the same parent company making decisions on where the value lies. The IMX882/LYT600 is still a pretty capable sensor, and available in phones within last 12 months. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with choosing LYT600. It's not the best sensor Sony makes, but it's also not a terrible one. One thing to note is that the Samsung HM6 is a 2 year old sensor. If Poco were to use a 2 year old sensor, there would still be someone out there who would accuse Poco of cost-cutting.

I don't know much about Transsion, since Transsion phones are not the most available here. Stuffing a larger sensor isn't the only strategy a phone manufacturer adopts. A bigger sensor isn't necessarily always better. Remember that beyond the flagships, compromises have to be made for every phone part (including software) at every price levels. You cannot simply focus on one single feature and ignore the rest of features on a phone. It's an ecosystem.

Nevertheless, just buy the phone your pocket enables you to do so and is available at the time you are ready to buy. If you want the very best in phone cameras, be prepared to fork out the premium. Will I like a LYT-700/800/900 sensor in Poco X7 Pro? Yes of course, but it's not available on the market and I don't want to pay more than $450 at this point in time. Even at half the price, I am not interested in any Techno or Infinix phone or even Redmi Note 14 as compromises and lack of feature sets in other areas or even support are way too unattractive for me and my needs. However, I am also glad there are consumers buying these other phones which suit their needs. The world is big enough.

Redmi Turbo 4, which is Poco X7 Pro in China's domestic market, has two led light rights around the cameras. Both are controlled within HyperOS as back light effects, which can be turned on by notifications and incoming calls. This is one of three main differences with Poco X7 Pro, aside from battery capacity and Google Play Store.
