Poco is set to debut the Poco F7 on June 24, 2025, an eagerly awaited mid-range powerhouse aiming to deliver flagship-tier specs at an accessible price. With a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, massive 7,550 mAh battery, and a stunning 6.83″ 1.5K AMOLED display, the F7 is shaping up to be one of the year’s most compelling value flagship-killers.
Design & Display: Sleek, Premium & Immersive
Building on the popular F-series DNA, the Poco F7 features a flat 6.83-inch AMOLED panel with a high 2772×1280 resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, 3200 nits peak brightness, 480 Hz touch sampling, and 3840 Hz PWM dimming—delivering a premium visual experience for gaming, streaming, and productivity.
Rumors also highlight a metal frame, minimal bezels, and a recognizable dual-tone or limited-edition “screw-vent” aesthetic echoing the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro design.
Performance: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Powerhouse
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4—a 4 nm chipset rumored to outperform the 8 Gen 2 but slightly trail the Gen 3—will be the star of the show.
Paired with 12–16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and speedy UFS 4.1 storage up to 1 TB, early benchmarks suggest AnTuTu scores exceeding 2 million. Also tied to Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, the F7 is expected to launch with enhanced cooling via a vapor chamber bigger by ~15% and Poco-exclusive gaming tools.
Imaging System: Sharp Shots with OIS
The dual rear cameras include:
- 50 MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor with f/1.5 aperture and OIS
- 8 MP ultra-wide lens
- 20 MP selfie within a minimal punch-hole
While detailed image performance awaits testing, OIS suggests better low-light and stabilization performance. Poco is expected to leverage enhanced camera processing, especially for gamers using dual-video and content creation tools.
Battery & Charging: Marathon Endurance
A highlight is the 7,550 mAh battery (Indians expected to get the larger version, global units may offer ~6,500 mAh). Coupled with 90 W fast charging and 22.5 W reverse wired charging, this setup sets new endurance benchmarks in the segment. Expect solid longevity for gaming, binge-watching, or travel.
Connectivity & Extras
The F7 will run Android 15 with HyperOS 2, offering snappy UI and gaming features. It’s also expected to support IP68-level dust and water resistance, dual‑band Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, and a subtle IR blaster.
Launch Timing & Pricing
Poco officially announced the June 24 launch, with the Indian event set for 5:30 PM IST. Local pricing is expected to fall under ₹35,000, making the F7 an incredibly strong choice for a device equipped like this.
