The POCO F7 series is set to make waves in the smartphone market with its global launch today, March 27, 2025, at an event in Singapore. The lineup includes the POCO F7 Pro and the POCO F7 Ultra, both of which promise to deliver top-notch performance at competitive prices.
Scheduled to kick off at 4:00 PM local time (1:30 PM IST), the event will showcase the brand's first Ultra model and its accompanying Pro variant. The standard POCO F7, however, is expected to debut later in India around May or June 2025, as hinted by POCO India’s head on social media.
According to leaks and reports, the POCO F7 Ultra is anticipated to retail at approximately 749 euros (around Rs 71,000), while the POCO F7 Pro is expected to start at 599 euros (about Rs 57,000). This pricing marks a significant increase from the previous F6 Pro, which launched at 449 euros (about Rs 43,000). The standard POCO F7 may be priced below Rs 35,000 in India, aligning with the brand's historical pricing strategy for its F-series.
Both the POCO F7 Pro and Ultra models are rumored to feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a stunning 3,200 x 1,440 pixels resolution (2K), a 120Hz refresh rate, and a pixel density of 526 PPI. These specifications are consistent with the display found in last year’s F6 Pro, but improvements in brightness levels are expected for the F7 series.
Under the hood, the POCO F7 Ultra will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, while the F7 Pro will utilize the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The standard F7 is expected to feature the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8s Elite, which could achieve a score of around 2 million on the AnTuTu benchmark, as reported by DCS on Weibo.
In terms of memory, both the POCO F7 Ultra and F7 Pro may offer configurations of 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 512GB. The standard F7's storage options remain unconfirmed at this time.
The camera capabilities of the POCO F7 Ultra are particularly noteworthy. It may boast a triple rear camera setup including a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 32MP ultrawide lens, along with a 32MP front camera for selfies. The F7 Pro, on the other hand, is expected to feature a 50MP main sensor paired with an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 20MP front camera.
Battery life is another strong point for this series. The POCO F7 Ultra could come with a 5,300mAh battery supporting 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The F7 Pro might feature a larger 6,000mAh battery with 90W charging capabilities, while the standard F7 could offer an impressive 7,000mAh battery, also with 90W fast charging support.
On the software front, the POCO F7 Ultra and F7 Pro are expected to ship with Android 15-based HyperOS 2 custom skin, ensuring a smooth user experience with a minimum of three OS upgrades promised.
Additional features for the F7 Ultra include an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, stereo speakers, and an infrared (IR) blaster, allowing users to control various appliances. The design of the F7 series is anticipated to follow the trend of flat sides with a modern aesthetic, and it may come in a variety of colors including Black and Yellow for the Ultra, and Blue, Silver, and Black for the Pro model.
Interestingly, the design and specifications of the POCO F7 Ultra and F7 Pro closely resemble those of the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro, which were launched in China in November 2024, suggesting that these may be rebranded versions for the global market.
As excitement builds for the launch event, fans and tech enthusiasts alike are eager to see how the POCO F7 series will perform in a competitive smartphone landscape. The combination of high-end specifications, competitive pricing, and innovative features positions the POCO F7 series as a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market.
Following the launch, detailed coverage and reviews are expected to emerge, providing insights into how these devices measure up against competitors in real-world scenarios. With its ambitious pricing and feature set, the POCO F7 series is poised to attract a wide audience, particularly among users seeking flagship performance without breaking the bank.
