The XCover7 Pro relies on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It comes in this one configuration only. I ran a series of benchmarks to evaluate performance across general computing and productivity tasks. I compared it to its closest rivals, the XCover6 Pro (Snapdragon 778G, 6GB of RAM) and the Sonim XP Pro (Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, 8GB of RAM).

On Geekbench 6, which measures raw CPU power, the XCover7 Pro scored 1,183 on the single-core test and 3,285 on the multi-core test. That’s better than the XCover6 Pro (1,106 and 2,834) and the XP Pro (1,180 and 3,135), but not by a huge margin.
In PCMark Work 3.0, a test that evaluates performance in typical mobile tasks like web browsing and document editing, the XCover7 Pro pulled ahead with a score of 13,703, edging out the XCover6 Pro (12,677) and Sonim XP Pro (12,939).
For graphics, we recently updated our testing methodology to use 3DMark’s Wild Life test. The XCover7 Pro scored 4,086 and ran the test at 24.47 frames per second (fps). We can’t directly compare this with the GFXBench results used for the XCover6 Pro and Sonim XP Pro.
To check real-world gaming performance, we play the resource-intensive Genshin Impact. At medium graphics settings and 60fps, everything ran smoothly. Pushing the graphics to their highest settings, the XCover7 rendered graphics beautifully, but I experienced some slowdowns. The phone’s back became slightly warmer, though it remained comfortable to the touch. Don’t max out the graphics for the best experience.
