The wait is finally over Poco is all set to launch its most awaited F series, and leading the charge is the Poco F7 Pro. This series is purely performance-focused, and the main motive is simple: deliver the best of the best when it comes to power and speed.
If we take a look back, the Poco F6 brought in the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 under ₹30,000 (~$330), making it an absolute bang for the buck. But now, on April 2nd, Qualcomm introduced two new processors targeting mid-range and performance-centric devices and rumor has it, the Poco F7 Pro will be the first phone to launch with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4.
Let’s dive deep into what the Poco F7 Pro brings to the table and what makes it a standout pick in this price range.
Design: Premium Build with Fresh Aesthetics
The Poco F7 Pro features a metal frame with a glass back, offering a solid and premium in-hand feel. One of the most noticeable design upgrades is in the camera module. Unlike the horizontal dual-lens setup in the F6, the Poco F7 Pro sports a circular triple-lens design with a golden-striped ring around it—giving it a true camera-like vibe.
The phone has a boxy yet compact build, housing a large display without being too wide. It also boasts an IP68 rating, making it dust and water resistant a rare feature in this price bracket.
Display: Flagship-Level Visual Experience
The Poco F7 Pro comes with a stunning 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED punch-hole display supporting WQHD+ resolution. With a peak brightness of 3200 nits and HDR10+ support, the display is super bright and ultra-vivid.
Key features include:
- Thin bezels on all sides
- Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection
- HDR streaming support for YouTube and Netflix
Whether you’re gaming, binge-watching, or scrolling through social media, the Poco F7 Pro offers a smooth and immersive multimedia experience.
Performance: The Star of the Show
Now comes the highlight of the Poco F7 Pro Performance. Powered by the brand-new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (3nm) processor, coupled with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, this phone is a monster in multitasking and gaming.
- AnTuTu score crosses 2 million
- Zero lag, no heating issues reported so far
- Perfect for heavy gaming and intensive usage
This is the first smartphone to launch with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, making the Poco F7 Pro a performance trendsetter in 2025.
Software: HyperOS with Android 15
The Poco F7 Pro runs on HyperOS based on Android 15, offering:
- 4 years of major Android updates
- 4 years of security updates
However, some users have reported bugs in recent HyperOS builds, although no such issues have been spotted on the Poco F7 Pro yet. One thing to note is the presence of pre-installed bloatware, which reappears after updates definitely annoying, but manageable.
Camera: Decent, But Not a Main Focus
Poco has never claimed to be a camera-first brand, and that stands true for the Poco F7 Pro as well. The triple-camera setup offers decent daylight shots, with:
- No artificial color boosting
- Average night photography
- Above-average selfies
So, if you’re buying this phone for performance, you won’t be disappointed. But if camera is your top priority, this might not be your best bet.
Battery: Massive Juice with Speedy Charging
With a 6000mAh battery and a 90W fast charger included in the box, the Poco F7 Pro ensures:
- Long-lasting usage
- Fast recharging times
- Zero compromises in this department
Battery life is solid even with high refresh rate gaming or media consumption.
Final Conclusion
To wrap things up except the camera, everything else is top-tier. The Poco F7 Pro offers flagship-level performance, a stunning display, IP68 rating, next-gen processor, and super-fast charging all under $450.
At this price point, no other brand is offering a similar feature set. If performance is your priority, the Poco F7 Pro is hands-down the best choice in 2025.
