Poco F7 At $399: 7 Things To Know About The Spec-Heavy Mid-Ranger
Poco F7 in Silver Earlier this year, Poco made its first true flagship phone with no-compromise cameras (for the price) in the form of F7 Ultra. It is continuing the value-for-money pitch with its new Poco F7. The latest addition to Poco F-series doesn't feature top-notch cameras, but it delivers almost-flagship-level power, a huge battery, and a head-turning design -- all for $399. There's not much to fault with the phone when you consider the price. It is packed to the brim for a mid-ranger, and here are 7 things you need to know about the new Poco F7. 1. An Attention-Grabbing Design Poco F7 in Silver with shimmery effect Poco has always focused on gamers with its design language, and the F7 is no different. The Poco F7 Cyber Silver Edition, in particular, is very flashy and might come off as an in-your-face design, but the top section has a translucent finish that seems to reveal the underlying vents and circuit boards. This is accentuated by the diagonal neon green lines on the camera module and the mirrored silver finish on the rest of the back that shimmers with rainbow colours. The White and Black variants, by contrast, aren't as flashy but retain the two-tone finish. All of them are rated IP68 for dust and water resistance, which isn't the norm for $400 smartphones. I love the Poco F7 design. It evokes the gaming and performance-centric appeal very well. While I'm not fond of the flat sides because they aren't ergonomic, the F7 is easy on the wrist and comfortable to use for long durations, especially while gaming. 2. On Par With 2024's Flagship Performance The Poco F7 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. While it belongs to the 2025 chipset family, it doesn't have the new Oryon CPU cores, which puts it on par with last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. It is paired with 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage and 12GB of RAM in the base model. The Poco F7 Ultra and F7 situation is like the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, where the flagship phone offers current-year performance and the lower-end version matches the previous year's power. That said, it isn't weak by any means. In fact, the Poco F7 is the most powerful $399 phone you can find on the market right now. You're unlikely to notice any issues, even with visually demanding games. 3. A Big and Bright Display Poco F7 display The Poco F7 features a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen with a 2772 x 1280-pixel resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+. It is slightly less sharp than the Poco F7 Ultra's 1440p resolution, but the difference is only visible when you're consciously looking for it. The screen is brighter than its predecessor, with support for 1,700 nits high brightness and 3,200 nits peak brightness for supported HDR content. Poco F7's big display is immersive for long gaming sessions, as well as doomscrolling and watching video content on Netflix and YouTube. 4. The Poco F7 Packs A Massive Battery The global variant of Poco F7 packs a 6,500mAh battery, whereas the Indian model houses a huge 7,550mAh silicon-carbon battery. I used the global version, and it lasts all day with ease. No matter what you do, it is highly likely to last an entire day. The Poco F7 supports 90W fast charging that can top up its 6,500mAh cell within 45 minutes. In my usage, it went from 30% to 90% within 30 minutes. It is easily an all-day phone with superfast charging capabilities. 5. Four Years of Android OS Updates Poco F7 in Black The Poco F7 runs Android 15-based HyperOS 2.0. My previous nitpicks and annoyances with the software remain, but it is a highly customizable phone and you can uninstall the pre-installed bloatware. I would take a $399 phone with uninstallable bloatware over a $500 phone with 'clean software,' despite not being a fan of HyperOS design. Poco's new phone offers several AI features like AI Notes, AI Interpreter, AI Image Enhancement, AI Image Expansion, etc., as well as Google Gemini and Circle to Search. You won't miss out on the 2025 AI feature set. Moreover, the company is promising four Android OS updates alongside six years of security patches. 6. An Okay Camera Setup The Poco F7 sports a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary camera and an 8MP ultrawide-angle sensor. On the front, you get a 20MP fixed-focus selfie shooter. The Poco F7 is not the phone for you if you shoot a lot of photos and videos. While the main camera can deliver good results, the ultrawide camera is average. You can always tweak the settings to get better results, but I wouldn't rely on it for my vacation photos. 7. Poco F7: Price and Availability Poco F7 The Poco F7 was launched on June 24 and will go on sale starting July 1. It is priced at $399 for the base 12GB/256GB variant and $449 for the 12GB/512GB model. You can buy the 256GB variant for as low as $339 during the initial sale. In India, the Poco F7 will be available for INR 31,999 ($372) for the 12GB/256GB model, and INR 33,999 ($395) for the Silver Edition with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. As for the U.K., it is priced at £389 ($530) and £429 ($584) for the 12GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB models, respectively. If you buy them before July 7, you can get them for £319 ($434) and £359 ($488), respectively.

Poco F7 review: our honest verdict after one week with the superbly-priced mid-ranger
Stuff Verdict If you prioritise core hardware over camera specs this could be an absolute steal. It's just a shame the huge battery doesn't quite get the results it should. Pros Excellent core hardware Huge battery capacity Price point-defying display Interesting design Cons Battery life underwhelms compared to its promise Ultrawide camera is fairly poor Digital zoom produces mixed results Think Xiaomi and you'll almost certainly think of excellent phones at an appealing price point. Poco is a Xiaomi offshoot that takes this same logic and takes it even further, offering even more mid-range phone bang for your buck. I was at the launch of Poco's F7 Ultra earlier this year in Singapore. It's a cracking sub-flagship phone for $649/£650 that performs really well. You can get better, but it'll cost you. Step forward to today and we have the Poco F7, a more vanilla mid-ranger, which sits at the bottom of the range under the inbetweener F7 Pro. However, it's set to give potential users more than a little to think about, with the starting price clocking in at $399/£389 and early bird pricing available for an incredible $339/£319. That's scarcely believable and will surely undercut other upcoming budget mid-rangers such the Nothing Phone 3 which seems set to launch with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. Indeed, this F7 might be the entry-level phone for the range, but there's a lot about it that screams 'quality' as well as the Snapdragon chip including the display, high-capacity battery and 12GB of RAM. Here's the full Poco F7 pricing for the two capacities available. 256GB: $399/£389 | Early Bird $339/£319 512GB: $449/£429 | Early Bird $399/£359 For comparison, the Poco F7 Pro is slated from $500, while the F7 Ultra will set you back $650. That's a nice spread between the three models. That's scarcely believable and undercuts most mid-rangers. We already know the Nothing Phone 3 will launch with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor as the Poco F7. The more comparable Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro feature the previous Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. The Samsung Galaxy A56 and Motorola Edge 60 Fusion are also natural competitors. And that's before you get to Poco's own F7 Pro and F7 Ultra, which are very viable upgrade paths to get a better specification. How we test smartphones Every phone reviewed on Stuff is used as our main device throughout the testing process. We use industry standard benchmarks and tests, as well as our own years of experience, to judge general performance, battery life, display, sound and camera image quality. Manufacturers have no visibility on reviews before they appear online, and we never accept payment to feature products. Find out more about how we test and rate products. Design and build: belies the price Once more Poco has outdone itself, with a smart, flagship-level design. The aluminum metal frame is a little on the weighty side at 216g but it's fine compared to many rivals. It's not a large phone by today's standards, but seems like it has a significant footprint. There are three colours, white, black and grey. As you may have seen, the grey is a Cyber Silver Edition complete with Snapdragon logo and other design flourishes made to look like phone internals. You won't be surprised to hear this one is my favourite given how much better it looks than its brethren. The design of all three is quite distinctive though, with the rear panel split by a diagonal line like the rather striking camera module. In an age of phones looking the same, the F7 makes an effort. The F7 boasts an IP68 dust and water resistant rating, still a little too rare at this price point and there's a pre-fitted screen protector. The phone even comes with a. basic silicone cover. Display: 120Hz on a budget The 6.83in AMOLED display is punchy and bright. It has a 1.5K 1280 x 2772 resolution (around 447ppi) with up to 120Hz refresh rate but it's not dynamic – not surprising for this price point. The phone can switch back to 60Hz or you can do it manually. It can go very bright though, with 3200nits of peak brightness on offer and 1700nits as a more standard figure. The display is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass 7i. It even has Dolby Vision (as well as HDR10+ and HDR10) support. Colours are really punchy and while the pixel count isn't the best it doesn't distract or detract from the experience. The display is undoubtedly a highlight of this package. Specs and performance: impressive bang for buck The phone runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 platform. Since the Gen 4 is new the F7 also boasts quite a lot of ticked boxed, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, NFC and all the key 5G standards supported. Performance clearly isn't going to be as good as the Poco F7 Ultra's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, but in our tests it gets close to the but it does get close to the Poco F7 Pro's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, first revealed in late 2023. In everyday performance, you won't find any issues with the 8s Gen 4 and only serious mobile gamers may find reason to grumble. Quite how Poco is using this chipset at this price point is anyone's guess but one can only assume that its margins are razer thin. One thing that is anything but budget is the 6500mAh battery capacity with support for 90W HyperCharge fast wired charging (a 90W Xiaomi charger is inside the box) and 22.5W reverse wired charging. Interestingly, the India model of this phone has an even bigger 7,550 mAh battery. It's a shame that isn't rolling out more widely. So does the 6500mAh capacity translate to a wildly improved battery life? The short answer is not really. It's decent, but it's not quite as good as we'd hoped. It is possible to get the phone through two days of use at a push but it remains unlikely. We charged the phone one morning, did most of our camera tests and then the next morning it was in the red. If you're an active user you're almost certainly going to need to juice it up during the latter half of the second day. The 5300mAh F7 Ultra seemed almost as good, probably due to more optimization from the higher end chipset. The F7 has an under display fingerprint scanner which works generally very well and there's also face unlock, but as it is only reliant on the selfie camera it's not going to be the most secure. Yet it does unlock the phone well. Cameras: very much a mixed bag The camera is clearly one of those key areas where compromises have been made, but that is of course not unusual for such a low price point. The dual lens unit does still have a 50MP 1/1.95in f/1.5, 26mm main camera of reasonable quality in the form of Sony's IMX882 also in the Poco X7 Pro, Nothing's CMF Phone 1 and Oppo's Reno 14 series and the lower-end Samsung Galaxy A36. It has optical image stabilization which works noticeably well. This is teamed with an 8MP OmniVision ultrawide and 20MP OmniVision selfie punch hole snappers, both of which are similar to those on the F7 Pro. The ultrawide is a serious downgrade from the 32MP unit on the F7 Ultra, however, and it delivers unremarkable images which often seem rather undefined and a little blurry. At 1x and 2x the images produced by the main camera in normal light are absolutely fine with good colors and dynamic range. Video – even in 4K – is also perfectly respectable though don't expect miracles. The results are clearly not flagship-level in terms of quality but for many they're perfectly good enough. However, if you start to zoom in further anywhere towards 10x, things rapidly go downhill and there is a huge amount of sharpening being applied. They just don't look that great. Low light photos from the main camera aren't too bad. Night mode pops up automatically without delay. And they're not too noisy. Light sources are also respected and don't look blown out. You do need some light to be present though – don't expect very dark scenes to come out at all. And don't expect much action from the ultrawide at night, it's just not up to the task. Software: Xiaomi time The phone runs Xiaomi's HyperOS 2 which is based on Android 15 with full access to Google Play and Google apps. There's a bit of bloatware in terms of the apps but it's nothing you can't remove. Otherwise the interface is fairly clean and you can opt to have an app drawer or not as well as choose from various dynamic wallpapers. HyperOS is a perfectly usable system. HyperAI is on board and you can do various assisted image edits and also use AI speech recognition or AI writing for text generation. Four years of software updates are promised which is fine, though with Google and Samsung now offering seven years, it's only a matter of time before others have to follow on. Poco F7 verdict The F7 launches into a hugely crowded market with lots of contenders under that all-important $400/£400 segment that classifies something as a budget phone rather than a mid-ranger. There are several reasons the Poco F7 is an absolute cracker. Battery capacity has to be chief among them (even if the real-world results currently underwhelm), alongside the 90W fast charge and supplied charger. Then there's the excellent display that pushes the boundary of what you can expect from a phone at this price point. Finally, there's the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 platform itself, which provides you with reliable everyday performance. On the negative side, the camera can't offer the quality that a bit more cash can get you and others do better for not much more. The camera compromises are not necessarily a huge negative at this price though. After all, you can't expect flagship-level imagery from a phone that costs half what a 'sub-flagship' might. The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion remains a better option for imaging though, while the Poco X7 Pro also remains a real value champ. The F7 feels like a quality yet budget Android for those who aren't too fussed about taking loads of images but who want long battery life and a great display. It's yet another incredible budget phone from the Xiaomi stable. Stuff Says… Score: 4/5 If you prioritise core hardware over camera specs this could be an absolute steal. It's just a shame the huge battery doesn't quite get the results it should.

Poco F7 details leaked, launch expected within weeks
The Poco F7 was recently spotted on the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website, suggesting that its global launch is just around the corner — possibly including India. For those unaware, Poco had earlier launched the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra in China back in March. However, these models haven't debuted in India yet. What we are likely to see here instead is the standard Poco F7, expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which made its debut in China last to a report by XpertPick, the Poco F7 appeared on the US FCC website with the model number 25053PC47G. The letter 'G' at the end likely refers to it being the global version of the phone. The certification listing reveals some key connectivity features, including support for multiple 5G bands, Wi-Fi 802.11ax/be, Bluetooth, and NFC. This also hints at the phone being ready for launch in multiple global markets, India of the certification also show the phone's front view, which suggests a hole-punch display design. On the software side, the Poco F7 is expected to run on HyperOS 2.0, based on Android 15 — making it one of the first Poco phones to do so. The same model number — 25053PC47G — was also spotted on the IMDA website last week. Interestingly, a similar model number (25053PC47I) appeared on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, strongly indicating that the Indian launch is not far for the hardware, if the Poco F7 is indeed based on the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, then we already have a good idea of what to expect. The phone could feature a 6.83-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, and backed by a large 7,550mAh battery with support for 90W fast specs might include a dual rear camera system with a 50-megapixel primary sensor, though exact details are still under there's no official launch date yet, the frequency of recent certifications and the amount of information leaked suggest that Poco could launch the F7 in India and other markets within the coming recap, the Poco F6 was launched in India last year in May. The prices started at Rs 29,999 for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. The 12GB RAM variant with 256GB storage and 512GB storage options was priced at Rs 31,999 and Rs 33,999, respectively.

Poco F7 tipped to launch globally by end of May, Indian debut likely: What to expect
Poco appears to be gearing up for the global launch of its next-generation smartphone, the Poco F7. Fresh leaks suggest that the handset could make its international debut by the end of May, with the Indian launch potentially taking place shortly thereafter. While the company has not yet made any official announcement, recent developments hint at an imminent release. According to a post shared by tipster Yogesh Brar on X, the Poco F7 is expected to roll out in select global markets in the coming weeks. However, it remains unclear whether this launch window includes the Indian market. Adding fuel to the speculation, a Poco device bearing the model number25053PC47I was recently spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, further indicating that the Indian launch might not be far off. The standard Poco F7 is anticipated to arrive alongside the Poco F7 Ultra in India. Poco India's Country Head, Himanshu Tandon, had earlier teased the launch of the F7 Ultra, although no firm date has been revealed. It is worth noting that the Poco F7 Pro, which debuted globally alongside the Ultra variant, is not expected to be introduced in India, according to recent industry reports. Speculation around the Poco F7's specifications suggests it may be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, a handset previously launched in China. If that is the case, the Poco F7 could feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a robust 7,550mAh battery, and support for 22.5W reverse fast charging. The smartphone is also likely to sport a 6.83-inch display with a 1.5K resolution and come equipped with a dual-loop '3D ice cooling' system for enhanced thermal performance. With increasing chatter and leaks surfacing online, the official unveiling of the Poco F7 seems imminent. First Published: 25 Apr 2025, 04:32 PM IST

The Best Phones You Can't Buy in the US
These phones are worth considering if you have yet to see something you like. Photograph: Simon Hill Oppo Find N5 for £1,106: It's a real shame that the Find N5 won't even land in the UK or Europe because the world's slimmest book-style foldable (3.6 mm open) is a lovely phone. The 6.62-inch cover display and 8.12-inch inner display are excellent, and the Find N5 has top specs all the way (Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage, 5,600 mAh battery, 80W wired and 50W wireless charging). The triple-lens camera (50-MP main, 50-MP telephoto, 8-MP ultrawide) is the most obvious compromise, a necessity for this form factor. The slightly buggy software and bloatware are the only other detractors, but the potential pain of importing will be enough to put most folks off. Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra for £649 and F7 Pro for £499: While Poco has traditionally been a budget brand, the aptly named F7 Ultra takes it into new territory. This phone boasts a few flagship-level features, such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with the VisionBoost D7 for graphics, a powerful triple-lens camera, and a lovely, high-resolution 6.67-inch display with a 120-Hz refresh rate. It also scores an IP68 rating and offers up to 50-watt wireless charging. The catch is a price hike over previous Poco F series releases, but at the early bird price, the F7 Ultra is a compelling bargain. The F7 Pro is more in line with what we expect from the brand, with an older processor, limited camera, and no wireless charging. Both run Xiaomi's HyperOS 2 and have too much bloatware, but Xiaomi now promises four Android version upgrades and six years of security patches. Realme 14 Pro+ for 530 Euros: The color-changing finish may be gimmicky, but it's fun, and this phone looks and feels far more expensive than it is. There are more highs than lows on the spec sheet. You get a triple-lens camera, an IP68/69 rating, a 6,000 mAh battery, and a 6.83-inch OLED display with a 120-Hz refresh rate, but the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset is limited, there's no wireless charging support, and no charger in the box. It is still quite a bargain and should be landing in the UK soon. Xiaomi 15 for £899: Folks seeking a more compact phone than the Xiaomi 15 Ultra could do a lot worse than its smaller sibling. The Xiaomi 15 feels lovely, with a 6.36-inch screen, a decent triple-lens camera, and top-notch internals. But it's a conservative design, kind of pricey, and it has the same software and bloatware issues as the Ultra. Honor Magic 7 RSR for £1,550: Designed with Porsche, this souped-up version of the 7 Pro above has a fancier design with a hexagonal camera module, a slightly improved telephoto lens, 24 GB of RAM (likely largely pointless), 1 TB of storage, and a bigger battery (5,850 mAh). It's lovely but doesn't do enough to justify the additional outlay. Oppo Find X8 Pro for £1,099: The last two Oppo flagships didn't officially make it to the UK and Europe, so the X8 Pro marks a welcome return. This is a polished phone with a quad-lens camera (all 50 MP), but it feels like a downgrade from the Find X7 Ultra I used last year because of the smaller sensor. It is fast, with excellent battery life, speedy wired and wireless charging, IP68/69 protection, and no obvious omissions. But it's pricey, flagships should not have bloatware, and I'd prefer to wait for the X8 Ultra. Honor 200 Pro for £499: I don't love the design of the Honor 200 Pro (7/10, WIRED Review), but it has a versatile triple-lens camera with a capable portrait mode. There are also some useful AI features, and the battery life is good, with fast wired and wireless charging. It cost £200 more at launch, but at this new lower price, it is a far more attractive option. Xiaomi Mix Flip for £749: Xiaomi's first flip phone is surprisingly good, with two relatively bright and roomy screens, solid stamina, fast charging, and snappy performance. It's a shame Xiaomi didn't craft more flip screen-specific features. It doesn't help that the Mix Flip was too expensive at launch (£1,099), but at this reduced price, it's a decent shout for folks craving a folding flip phone. Nubia Z70 Ultra for £749: Much like last year's Z60 Ultra (6/10, WIRED Review), the Z70 Ultra is a value-packed brick with an excellent 6.8-inch display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, versatile triple-lens camera, and 6,150 mAh battery. Unfortunately, the camera is inconsistent and poor at recording video, and the software is shoddy (with only three Android version updates promised). Oppo Reno 12 Pro for £395: There are a couple of reasons to consider the Reno 12 Pro: the camera and the battery life. A main camera and a telephoto lens, both rated at 50 megapixels, are rare at this price (there's also an 8MP ultrawide and a 50MP selfie camera). But I don't like the plastic design, there's bloatware galore, and the performance is just OK. Xiaomi 14T Pro for £470: As the mid-year follow-up to Xiaomi's flagship 14, the 14T Pro (7/10, WIRED Review) is a bit of a bargain and has dropped in price since I reviewed it. The basics are nailed, with a big screen, good performance, plenty of stamina, and a solid camera. But there is bloatware, Xiaomi's software, and the lack of wireless charging to contend with. OnePlus Nord 4 for £369: With a metal unibody, the Nord 4 stands out and also boasts an excellent screen, enough processing power for most folks, impressive battery life, and fast charging. The main camera is fine, and there's a nifty AquaTouch feature that lets you use the phone with wet hands. But there's no wireless charging, the ultrawide camera is disappointing, and there's some bloatware. Avoid These Phones These aren't bad phones necessarily, but we think you'd be better served by something above. Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 for £1,085: Only officially released in China, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is a stylish folding phone with a 6.56-inch outer screen that folds open to reveal a 7.98-inch inner screen. It also offers solid performance and battery life, but despite having a large quad-lens camera module, the camera is underwhelming. The crease is also pronounced, and using a Chinese model is a bit of a pain as various things are not translated, and there's work in getting the apps you want. Realme GT7 Pro for £774: This potential flagship killer has a 6.78-inch OLED screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and an enormous 6,500 mAh battery. You also get a triple-lens camera, but the 50-megapixel main and telephoto lenses are let down by the 8-megapixel ultrawide. It also lacks wireless charging, and you'll have to import it to the UK as it only seems to be on sale in Germany. Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ for £369: An attractive, durable design (IP68), a 200-megapixel Samsung camera sensor, and decent battery life with super fast charging (120W) must be balanced against middling performance, poor ultrawide (8 MP) and macro (2 MP) lenses, and a ton of bloatware. Ultimately, there's little improvement over last year's Redmi Note 13 Pro+ (6/10, WIRED Review), and it's not just that there are better phones for the same money; there are better Xiaomi phones. Xiaomi Poco F6 for £268 or F6 Pro for £339: A real bargain when first released, the Poco F6 series (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is still tempting with a big screen, decent performance, and a pretty capable camera, but there's bloatware, shoddy software, and limited long-term support. The F6 is a better value than the Pro. Motorola Edge 50 Pro for £399: It may be falling in price, but the Motorola Edge 50 Pro (7/10, WIRED Review) only has a couple of Android upgrades to go. While the design is compact and there's a lovely display, I found it lacked processing power, with sometimes sluggish camera performance, and there are better options above. Nubia Flip 5G for £419: We had some fun with the Nubia Flip 5G (6/10, WIRED Review), and it was the cheapest flip foldable available for a while. The circular cover screen is cute, but it can't do much. The performance was average a year ago, and the annoying software and update policy are major strikes against it.
