No one does ultra-wide specs on budget like Poco. The Poco F7 brings the promise of yet another “flagship killer” experience: high-end performance with an aggressive price tag. But does it actually live up to the hype, or is simply another mid-range phone with a flash of specs? So, to find out, let’s take an in-depth look at the Poco F7 performance, camera, battery, display and pricing.
Performance: Snapdragon Power, Poco’s Tweak
The Poco F7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, which cuts the line between flagship and mid-range silicons. Couple that with up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, and it’s built for speed—and it shows.
Whether you are jumping between resource-hungry apps, gaming on high settings or (all the wow) editing a video, the Poco F7 does it all without breaking a sweat. First-person shooters like Call of Duty: Mobile and Genshin Impact run silky smooth, with high frame rates and minimal thermal throttling thanks to Poco’s vapor chamber cooling system. A serious price-performance beast. You’re getting close to flagship performance without paying flagship prices.
Camera: Competent But Not Class-Leading
The Poco F7 features a 64MP primary OIS camera, coupled with an 8MP ultra-wide and a 2MP macro cameras. At the front, it powers a 16MP selfie camera placed over a centered punch-hole.
The main camera shoots sharp, rich-colour photos with acceptable dynamic range in good light. The OIS go a long way in low light, providing usable shots with minimal grain. On the flip side, I found the ultra-wide lens less rich in detail, as well as low light performance poorer, while the macro camera seems like an afterthought.
The selfie camera performs adequately for social media posts and video calls — nothing spectacular, though. Good for casual photography, but no good for the photographer. It’s fine, not terrific.
Battery Life: All Day and Fast Charge
The Poco F7 is also equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, which is more or less the benchmark for any phone in this segment in 2025. Software optimization and the power-efficient Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip means a full day’s use even with intensive screen time is easily achievable.
And here’s the punch—90W wired quick charging. Poco says 0 to 100% takes just under 30 minutes, and real-world tests corroborate that. No more waiting forever with a phone that is dead.
Display: Smoothness, Brightness, and Immersion
Poco F7 specifications The Poco F7 comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. Colors are vivid, blacks are deep, and the 1,800 nits peak brightness means that outdoor legibility isn’t an issue.
Whether you’re watching Netflix, gaming or just scrolling Instagram, the experience is smooth and premium-feeling. The adaptive refresh rate also helps to conserve battery by throttling down when high refresh isn’t required.
Price in India: Poco F7
The Poco F7 has been launched in India starting at ₹29,999 for the 8GB/256GB model, which goes up to ₹33,999 for the 12GB/512GB variant. This is very good value given the specs and performance.
You are getting features from ₹40,000+ phones, especially in terms of performance, display and charging speeds. So if bang for your rupee is what you’re after, Poco F7 will be hard to beat.
The final verdict, Performance beast or Just hype?
Having taken the Poco F7 for a spin and stress-tested it even under heavy load, it’s evident that this phone is no overhyped product, but a true powerhouse for end-users who consider raw performance, battery efficiency, and a good display the most important features. The camera system doesn’t quite measure up to true flagship princess, but still more than holds its ground in day-to-day use.
