At the heart of the F7 is the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset built on 4 nm, making it the first smartphone globally with this SoC in the mid-range segment. The powerful processor delivers over 2.1 million AnTuTu points, placing it among the fastest under ₹30,000, complemented by cooling from a dual-loop IceLoop system and Rage Engine 4.0 software tuning for sustained performance during gaming.
Immersive Display & Premium Design
The F7’s 6.83-inch pOLED display dazzles with 1.5K resolution (2800×1280), 120 Hz refresh rate, 3,200 nits peak brightness, Dolby Vision, and 3,840 Hz PWM dimming, all protected by Gorilla Glass 7i.

The phone sports a slim 7.98 mm profile, metal aviation-grade aluminum frame, and IP66/68/69 ratings making it dust, splash, and even under-water proof up to 2 m for 30 minutes.
Powerhouse Battery with Fast & Reverse Charging
A major highlight is the 7,550 mAh battery, the largest seen in Indian phones recently. It supports 90W fast charging, promising speedy recharges, and 22.5W reverse charging turning the F7 into an emergency power bank. Poco claims the battery will retain 80% capacity even after 1,600 cycles, indicating long-term durability.
