Our take

Is it any good?

The M7 5G is a budget 5G phone for buyers who want more memory than the C75 has: ₹12,499 for 6GB + 128GB, or ₹13,499 for 8GB + 128GB. It runs a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 with a 6.88-inch 120Hz screen and a 5,160 mAh battery.

On paper it is a close cousin of the C75: the same screen size, battery, 18W charging, 205 g weight, 8.22 mm thickness and IP52 splash rating. The differences are a chip clocked at up to 2.2GHz instead of 2GHz, an 8MP selfie camera instead of 5MP, and 128GB of storage as standard. A 33W charger comes in the box, even though the phone charges at 18W.

The catch is software and screen: it launched on Android 14 with two Android updates, and the display is HD+. ₹2,500 more than the 6GB version buys the M7 Pro, with an AMOLED screen and a stabilised 50MP camera.
