12+ 5G vs Poco M7 Pro 5G
It depends
Too close to call outright

Value Score: 12+ 5G 68 · Poco M7 Pro 5G 69 — methodology
The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
Both displays are effectively the same class.
The 12+ 5G's MediaTek Dimensity 7050 (6nm) is simply the faster chip.
The 12+ 5G has the stronger camera system (2 real rear lenses vs 1).
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
