Which should I go for? Even though there are some bugs on HyperOS, I like their animations. Poco also has decent support for custom ROMs, whereas I can't find any for Realme. Please help me pick a better device between these two. I only play MLBB and want a phone that lasts for 3-4 years.

If you're a gamer, don't bother with Poco F7. It gets hot after 15-30 minutes into the game, MLBB might not be as intensive Wuthering Waves but still heard it gets hot in other games. Check out this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipsQ_KtEDu8 Also, in my opinion, I would go for Poco X7 Pro if you want a smartphone with Dimensity 8400, it's much cheaper than Realme GT 7T and doesn't get as hot as Poco F7 when you're gaming for hours. Especially the plastic back versions (Black and Green colour) because vegan leather (Yellow colour) are hard to clean if it got dirty and heat dissipation is a little worse compared to plastic back ones. And Poco X7 Pro can last 4 years since it's 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of Security updates. It released this year in January so… pick Poco X7 Pro if you're convinced, if not go for Poco F7, I guess.

fuuk1, I found the Poco X7 Pro and Realme GT 7T available for the same price, which is why I didn’t consider the X7 Pro earlier. Which one should I go for among these three?

bigblackclock, Poco X7 Pro is my recommendation. Especially the Black or Green (plastic back) ones.
