| Poco F7 Gaming Smartphone Officially Launched with Massive Battery and Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 – But Not Everyone Gets the Same Version. |
Xiaomi has officially introduced the Poco F7, a budget-friendly gaming smartphone with high-end specs and futuristic design. Positioned as a more accessible sibling to the Poco F7 Ultra and Poco F7 Pro, this new model brings powerful features at a competitive price. However, not all markets will receive the same version — and that’s something you need to know before buying.
AMOLED Display with Ultra-Narrow Bezels
The Poco F7 features a large 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 2772 × 1280 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 3200 nits. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, and thanks to its ultra-slim bezels, you get an immersive viewing and gaming experience that feels premium.
Dual Rear Cameras and 4K Video Recording
On the back, the Poco F7 sports a vertically-aligned camera setup. It includes a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor with a 1/1.95” matrix and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. Video recording supports up to 4K at 60fps, making it a capable device for content creation. Meanwhile, a 20MP front-facing camera handles your selfies and video calls with ease.
First Global Poco with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
Under the hood, the Poco F7 becomes Poco’s first global smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. This makes it a solid option for gaming and multitasking. It’s paired with 12GB RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage, providing ample room for apps, games, and media files.
Android 15 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2
Out of the box, the Poco F7 runs on Android 15 combined with HyperOS 2, Xiaomi’s latest custom skin. HyperOS 2 offers smooth performance, clean UI, and useful productivity and customization features.
Massive Battery, But It Depends on Your Region
One of the standout features is the 7,550mAh battery – but here’s the catch: this full-sized battery is only available in the Indian variant. For other markets, including Europe and likely the global version, you’ll get a 6,500mAh battery instead. Still, both models support 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging, so you’ll get decent power and convenience either way.
Dust and Water Resistance Included
The Poco F7 comes with IP68 certification, meaning it's resistant to dust and water — a nice touch for a phone in this price range and a great bonus for durability-conscious users.
Color Options and Pricing
The Poco F7 is available in three sleek color options: Black, White, and Gray.
-
The 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model is priced at approximately $399 USD
-
The 12GB RAM + 512GB storage version is available for around $449 USD
These prices place the Poco F7 in a very attractive category for anyone looking for affordable gaming smartphones with flagship-level specs.
The Poco F7 strikes a great balance between affordability, performance, and modern design. With its powerful Snapdragon chipset, large AMOLED screen, and massive battery (depending on your region), it's a solid choice for gamers and tech enthusiasts alike.
However, be mindful of the regional differences in battery capacity before purchasing. If you're in a market that only gets the 6,500mAh variant, you're still getting a strong performer — just not quite the battery monster that Indian users will enjoy.
