Introduction: Poco F7 – A Performance Powerhouse Reimagined
The Poco F series has always been a performance class leader, and the Poco F7 takes this to a whole new level. Featuring Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, a massive 7550mAh battery and one of the best displays for less than ₹30,000, it’s a binge-watchers, gamers and tech enthusiasts’ dream.
Let’s take a look at the unboxing and first impressions of potentially the best value flagship of 2025.
Unboxing the Poco F7
The box features Poco’s iconic black and yellow branding to appeal to a younger demographic, and here’s what you will find inside:
- Poco F7 mobile phone
- 90W fast charger
- USB Type-A to Type-C cable
- SIM ejector tool
- Grey opaque protective cover
- Documentation
One notable miss? No clear case — and given the mirror-finish design, that would’ve let the back shine better.

Design & Build: Premium Yet Bold
The Poco F7 feels heavy in your hand, coming in at about 221g, with the thick battery being the cause of this weight. The design is made from glass and metal (glory to pebble and metal) and uses Gorilla Glass 7i. The phone comes with an IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.
This phone is bold, big and if you enjoy large-screen devices, this device is an indulgence. The colors are flashy and subdued, but regardless, the device is designed to be noticed (especially in the case of the mirror finish).

Battery: 7550mAh Beast with Fast Charging
That’s right, 7550mAh — one of the biggest batteries ever in a smartphone. Expect to see:
- 12–13 hours of screen-on-time (SOT)
- 2 days of battery life for average users
- 50-minute 0–100% charge time with their 90W charger
- Reverse wired charging support (you can charge your iPhone with it!)
This isn’t just big on paper — real-life usage demonstrates endurance.
Performance: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Delivers
Performance is what makes the F-series tick, and the F7 ticks just as much:
- AnTuTu score of ~2.1 million
- COD Mobile at 120FPS, and, with an update we’ll get BGMI at 90FPS too (120FPS is on the way)
- LPDDR5X ram and UFS 4.1 storage
- With a base model of 12GB ram and 256GB storage — absolutely none!
The thermals remain unaffected too, thanks to a 6000mm² 3D Ice Loop cooling system,m.
Display: Big, Bright, and Beautiful
The 6.83″ AMOLED display, though, is the real star of the show:
- 120Hz refresh rate
- 3200 nits peak brightness
- HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and TÜV Rheinland certification
- Thin and uniform bezels = almost all-screen experience
Whether you are watching Netflix, watching YouTube, or gaming, the display here is just gorgeous for this category.
Audio, Connectivity & Software
- Stereo speakers – average loudness, decent clarity
- Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, IR Blaster – top-notch connectivity
- Android 15 + HyperOS 2.0
- 3 years of major updates + 4 years of security patches
- Some bloatware on first boot (but can be uninstalled)
Despite the software being slightly dated in feel, features like Circle to Search, AI subtitle translation, and AI Writer add smart value.
Camera: Not Its Strongest Point
Let’s be real here – the F7 doesn’t prioritize photography. But you still get:
- 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor (support for 4K video)
- 8MP ultra-wide
- 20MP selfie
Daytime photos are crisp and colorful. However, low-light, ultra-wide, and front camera videos are limited to 1080p @ 30fps.
Verdict: Who Should Buy the Poco F7?
If you’re looking for:
- Extended battery life
- Exceptional gaming and performance
- Beautiful display
- Good durability
Then the Poco F7 is an obvious choice– especially with a total cost of Rs. 29,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant. Additionally, getting 2 years warranty (even screen replacement in the first year) is a good deal.
Final Thoughts
The Poco F7 is a phone that pushes the limits of what’s possible under ₹30,000. It’s bold, powerful, and ideal for gamers, streamers, and power users.
If you’ve been waiting for a phone that doesn’t cut corners on performance or battery, this might just be it.
