Poco F7 Launch: A Power-Packed Contender Arrives June 24
Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco is set to shake up the sub-premium smartphone market with the launch of the Poco F7 on June 24, 2025, at 5:30 PM IST (12:00 PM UTC). Following the success of the Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra earlier this year, the vanilla Poco F7 promises flagship-level features at a budget-friendly price. Here’s a closer look at what makes this device a standout.
A Display Built for Brilliance
The Poco F7 boasts a 6.83-inch 1.5K flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering vibrant colors and smooth scrolling. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or browsing, this screen ensures a premium visual experience, rivaling more expensive flagships.
Powerhouse Performance
At its core, the Poco F7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, built on a 4nm process for efficiency and speed. While it uses older Kryo cores compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the F7 Ultra, it’s still a beast for gaming and multitasking. Paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, expect lightning-fast performance.
Camera Capabilities
The Poco F7 features a dual-camera system:
-
50MP primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) for crisp, steady shots.
-
8MP ultra-wide lens for capturing expansive scenes.
-
A 20MP front camera ensures sharp selfies and video calls.
While not as advanced as the Ultra model, this setup is more than capable for everyday photography.
Unmatched Battery Life
Battery life is a highlight, especially for the Indian variant, which packs a 7,550mAh battery with 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging. The global variant may sport a slightly smaller 6,500mAh battery, but both promise all-day power and quick top-ups.
Sleek Design, Tough Build
The Poco F7 combines style and durability with a metal frame and an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. Official teasers on X showcase a limited-edition variant with a premium aesthetic, making it as attractive as it is robust.
Software and Accessibility
Running on Android 15, the Poco F7 offers a modern, streamlined user experience. It will be available in India via Flipkart, with a global rollout including markets like the Philippines. Priced between ₹26,000 and ₹35,000 in India, it’s poised to be one of the most affordable Snapdragon 8s Gen 4-powered devices.
Why It Matters
The Poco F7 continues Poco’s legacy of delivering high-value smartphones. With its massive battery, powerful chipset, and vibrant display, it’s a compelling choice for budget-conscious buyers seeking flagship performance. The June 24 launch will reveal the final details, but the Poco F7 is already shaping up to be a game-changer.
Mark your calendars for June 24 and stay tuned for the full reveal!
