Third-party reviews

What we like about Poco F7 (12GB + 256GB)

  • Exceptional performance for gaming and multitasking thanks to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset
  • Large, high-quality 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and high peak brightness
  • Outstanding battery life from the 6,500mAh (global) or 7,550mAh (Indian) battery
  • Fast 90W wired charging capability
  • Premium build quality with glass and aluminum materials and IP68/IP69 rating
  • Excellent value for money, undercutting many mid-range competitors
  • Long-term software support with 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security patches

What we don't like about Poco F7 (12GB + 256GB)

  • Mediocre camera performance, especially in low-light and portrait shots
  • Noticeably heavy and bulky design (approx. 222-224g) that can be tiring for one-handed use
  • HyperOS software comes with significant pre-installed bloatware
  • Lack of wireless charging and a dedicated telephoto lens
  • Ultrawide camera and video stabilization are underwhelming compared to rivals
  • Under-display fingerprint sensor is positioned awkwardly low for some users
  • Inconsistent software optimizations lead to aggressive background app killing

Verdict

The Xiaomi Poco F7 (12GB + 256GB variant) is a performance-focused smartphone running Android 15 with HyperOS 2.0 and powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. It features a large 6.83-inch, 120Hz 1.5K AMOLED display (1280x2772 pixels resolution) with 3200 nits peak brightness and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. The phone includes 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage, a dual rear camera setup (50MP main with OIS + 8MP ultrawide), a 20MP front camera, and a substantial 7550mAh silicon-carbon battery with 90W fast charging support (note: the global version has a 6500mAh battery). Key pros include its exceptional performance, a large, vibrant display, impressive battery life, a high IP69 durability rating, and advanced cooling technology. A potential con is the absence of wireless charging capability and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
