IP68, XXL battery, Snapdragon 8S Gen 4…: The Poco F7 hits hard despite its low price

Xiaomi has formalized the Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra in spring in spring: two well -equipped smartphones for a price after all content, and designed for users interested in mobile gaming. The “standard” model of the series was missing, which the manufacturer preferred to book for a later date. And for good reason: Poco’s mobile is one of the first chip ambassadors Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 of Qualcommwhich had not yet been revealed. The SOC being available, here is the Poco F7, mid -range Android smartphone on the technical and with neat design.

Exit here the Snapdragon 8 Elite of F7 Ultra and its Oryon hearts; We find an 8s Gen 4 with Kryo hearts, but which promises a beautiful dose of power, especially since it is accompanied by 12 GB of RAM. This chip is hidden in a smartphone with an outcry with that of other F7s, with its flat (glazed) back and its oblong photo block. Xiaomi even offers a little originality with a version with the dorsal shell mimicking transparency, and revealing the Qualcomm logo. This case inherits a characteristic that the other F7 inaugurated: an IP68 waterproofing certification for the least welcome.

An XXL battery …

This case accommodates an Amoled Full HD+ 6.83 inch screen, promising a brightness amounting to 3,200 cd/m², a 120 Hz cooling rate and benefiting from Gorilla Glass 7i protection, more and more widespread in the world of mid -range smartphones. And despite a weight of 215 grams, the Poco F7 offers a battery of 6,500 mAh; We will of course have to check in the laboratory if this high capacity gives it good autonomy, but on paper, it is promising. It is also compatible with a fast load at 90 W and can, thanks to the inverted load, supply another device to 22.5 W. Let us not ask for more: the wireless load remains reserved for the ultra, more expensive model.

More oriented towards the game with its chip and its associated cooling system, the Poco F7 offers multimedia enthusiasts a double back photo module of 50 megapixels (Grand-Angle) and 8 MPX (ultra grand angle), served by a regulatory dose of artificial intelligence. AI Eraser thus makes it possible to erase unwanted elements from the images, and have expanded, to extend the contours of your photos. On the audio side, we find Bluetooth 6.0very recent standard adopted by Xiaomi 15 and by the ultra F7.
