Poko F7 Intro
There is no pro or ultra mankar tied to this model, but surprisingly, the phone comes with the new Snapdragon 8s General 4 chip set, a bright 3200 nets display, a large 6,500 mAh battery, and 12GB Ram.
These sugars, combined with interesting design, make the POCO F7 a contender for the upper mid -mid -mid -mid -mid -mid -(or as we sometimes have a cheap flagship,). The initial price of POCO F7 is 9 399 for the 12/256 GB model, with initial bird deals available in some regions that drag the price and drag it to 9 339.
Poko phones are not available in the United States, at least not officially, although this brand releases its model on its online store globally. Therefore, you will find it difficult to get the F7 in the United States, and even if you manage to raise your hands, it cannot work properly on American networks and carriers. Get out of this route, let’s move forward with review.
Our comprehensive review score tries to wrap the most important areas of the smartphone experience, and values in each category have its own weight. While trying to be objective, each category consists of sub categories, with the idea that you should be given a overall score that reflects the strength and weaknesses of the phone. In this case, the POCOF7 scored substantially in charging, screen quality and performance, while software support, lack of wireless charging, and minor video quality dragged the final score.

Poko F7 Design and Display
Limited edition transparency
Snap Dragon’s logo, texture elements, patches, a red arrow, and “limited edition” branding. They are not part of the phone’s original internal but still look cool.
The size of the camera housing pill is enough and enough, and it extends more than one millimeter out of the body. The frame is made of machining aluminum alloy and feels quite premium in the hand.
The footprint is huge, the main reason is 6.83 inches screen, and the weight is also heavy, which comes at 215.7 grams.

A 90W charging brick inside the retail box, a USB-C cable, a gray silicone back cover (high quality and so on Xumi 15 Series Box), some paperwork and phone.
Poco F7 also comes with a pre -planned screen protector, so start using the phone You don’t need to buy anything extra. Good job
Moving into a large 6.83 -inch display, we get a lot of things to like. First of all, the bells are very thin, which helps the phone reach the screen -to -body ratio of 94.23 %.
The display supports high refresh rate, but this is not an LTPO panel – you can either allow the phone to choose between 60 Hz and 120 Hz or manually select between the two. The resolution is 1280 x 2772 pixels (1.5K), which translates about 44447 PPI pixel density, considering the screen size.
The color accuracy is also advanced with an average datley of 1.64, and the minimum brightness of this panel is also very good, which is coming in 1.9 nuts.
In the case of biometrics, Poco F7 relies on optical type under -display fingerprint scanner, and it works well. You can also configure facial identities, but it only depends on the front feeing camera with no fancy radar or tofu tech, so it is not as safe as fingerprint scan.
Poko F7 camera
Mainly
Poco F7 has two camera equipped in your camera system. The central uses 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor below a F/1.5 aperture lens. Pixel size is 1.6 micron after 4 to 1 pixel bining. The main camera has optical image stability as well as phase detection autofox.
The ultra -wide camera is the one found on the Poko F7 Pro. It is a small 1/4.0 “sensor, equivalent to a 15 mm focal range and 8MP sniper with F/2.2 aperture. Finally, the front hole has 20 MP selfie camera in a hole punch cutout.
On the other hand, there is nothing to write an ultra -wide camera home. Its minor pixel count does not allow too much details to be solved, and the colorful tonality is slightly off as compared to the main camera.
The quality of the video
Here is a short sample video recorded with POCO F7.
The phone can record the video up to 4K on 60 FPS, and it does a reasonable job in this resolution and framework. However, there is some damage in detail, especially on low resolutions, and image stability is not perfect when you use 4K. You can zoom in and out during recording, but since there is no telephoto camera on this phone, it’s all digital and it seems … okay, like digital zoom.
All of all, there is nothing to write about Poko F7’s video recording capabilities but if you are not a heavy blog, the phone can work.
Poko F7 Performance and Benchmark
Almost flagged
Where does this chip Snapdragon stand in the ecosystem? In this Otta-Core platform, 1×3.21 GHz rotates the Cortex-X-4 core, 3×3.0 GHz Cortex-A 720 core and 2×2.8 GHz Cortex-A720 and another pair of 2×2.0 GHz, another pair of Cortex-A 720 core.
Snapdragon 8 Elite and both this is a very different layout than Snapdragon 8 General 3. The phone also comes with 12GB of Ram in every storage configuration. Let’s see how the silicon performs our standards.
CPU Performance Benchmark:
Given the benchmark score, we can see that Snapdragon 8s General 4 slots regularly somewhere Snapdragon 8 General 3.
There is still a difference of 5 % in favor of the Flagship General 3 Silicon, but this is not a big difference.
GPU’s performance
In the case of storage, there are two memory configurations, with a 12GB of Ram and 256GB ship storage, and 12GB Ram and 512 GB storage. There is no microSD card slot.
Poko F7 Software
In the case of software, POCO F7 is pre -installed Android 15 with Hypers 2 top. The board has some blootware, but you can easily delete it and make the UI, according to your choice, integrated wallpapers, drawers or no drawers, layout changes, etc.
When it comes to AI nowadays, which is nowadays all anger, Poko F7 includes the same Xiaomi hyprala. Xumi 15 Family
The system has some useful features of AI, such as AI spokesperson, AI editor inside the gallery, AI search, AI speech recognition, and AI writing.
You can also use Gemini. It is available and also default system for long pressure action on the power button.
The software update scene is still far from seven -year support that provides Google and Samsung. You get four major Android updates with POCOF7 and six -year security patches, which are very decent at this price.
Poko F7 Battery
Frustration?
There is a large battery of 6,500 mAh silicon carbon on the board of Poko F7. Surprisingly, we expected an impressive result in our battery benchmark. However, matters as expected did not end.
Here is some fish, and it is probably on poor correction of the new Snapdragon 8s General 4 chip set, as in real -life situations, the phone is capable of easily doing two days on the same charge.
We will repeat the tests, so there is still a niche near these scores.
Battle Battery Test results:
The bad news (you have guessed) is that there is no wireless charge on the board.
Poko F7 Audio Quality and Hoptics
Finally, there is no 3.5 mm headphone jack on this phone, so if you want to use the pair you have to rely on Bluetooth headphones.
Do you buy it?
On the other hand, some corners have been cut to get the initial price of $ 399 (with the initial bird contract 9 339). There is no wireless charging on the board, ultra -wide camera and overall video quality lack, and battery life is not affected by a huge battery.
At the end of the day, Poko F7 will have to go against the phone like Pixel 9A and Galaxy A56, as well as Poko F7 Pro and Poko F7 Ultra’s face on the face. This is the cheapest the above mentioned and the basics are found to be fine, so if you do not mind the aforementioned occasions, you can get a lot from this boy.
