Poco F7 is all set for release in India, and a teaser is already live on Flipkart. The listing indicates one of the standout features, an enormous 7,550 mAh battery, possibly the largest ever to find its way into a smartphone in India. This is definitely a telling move for Poco, as it seems to be emphasizing battery life for users who want durability, great specs and long hours of use.
Poco India’s CEO also indicated an India launch any time soon, along with a worldwide market launch. According to some insider sources, the Poco F7 will be launched in India toward the end of this month, while a global launch might be scheduled somewhere between June 17 and June 19.
Poco claims that the battery of the F7 lasts for a maximum of 2.18 days on a single charge when using it moderately, which is based on its silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery technology. The device is expected to support 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging technology.
This places the Poco F7 ahead in competition with the iQOO Z10 and Vivo T4, both providing 7,300mAh battery capacity.
Expected features of Poco F7 include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 series chip with up to 12GB of RAM. No official confirmation has been given; however, multi-core performance seems to be soaring as per Geekbench scores.
The chipset is performance-oriented, using a 1+7 core configuration and sans dedicated efficiency cores. It will bring flagship-level processing power to the under Rs 30,000 price segment.
According to various leaked renders, black and white variants can be expected as well as a special edition clocking in two-tone, bearing a Snapdragon branding and fake vents on the back.
Industry insiders claim that Poco F7 might be a rebranded Chinese Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. If this is the case, then it would most probably sport a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
Anticipated camera specs include a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 20MP front. An IP68 rating and storage options up to 1TB have all the while been speculated..
Poco seems to be reading the launch of three variants in the F7 lineup: Poco F7, F7 Pro, and F7 Ultra.
The basic Poco F7 may come with Snapdragon 8s Elite, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, and it might be priced at ₹34,999.
Poco F7 Pro is expected to have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, being sold with 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage for ₹39,999.
Poco F7 Ultra, bearing a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, might be priced beyond ₹44,999.
Going forward, Poco F7 series may end up posing tough competition to its counterparts in several performance and price categories. Poco F7 seems to be the perfect smartphone for Indian users, with a large battery, strong chipset options, and advanced display-camera specs.
Poco wants to cater to both the mainstream and power user. Such tiered pricing could cement Poco's position in the highly contested Indian mobile space. Once officially confirmed, this series might just end up pushing the limits of their respective segments.
