Xiaomi sub-brand Poco unveiled the Poco F7 last week as a well-balanced, performance-first offering that’s hard to ignore. It’s a sub-$500 smartphone, which is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC and comes with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage onboard. On the software front, you get Android 15-based HyperOS 2, along with a promise of four OS upgrades and six years of security updates, which is quite impressive for the price segment.
The Poco F7 is built around a 6.83″ 120Hz 1,280p AMOLED display, which is bright and vibrant. The smartphone also has a 6,500 mAh battery under the hood with 90W charging support. However, if you live in India, you’ll get the phone with a 7,550 mAh cell.
For photography, the Poco F7 features three cameras – a 50MP primary (with OIS), an 8MP ultrawide, and a 20MP selfie. The main camera has solid performance, even in low-light conditions. Other highlights of the Poco F7 include an IP68 rating, stereo speakers, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
