Poco F7 Pro review

Introduction

A new generation of Poco F Pro is at our doorstep, iterating on a proven concept. The F7 Pro brings a powerful chipset, top-quality display, and a sizable battery, all at a relatively low price made possible by a more modest approach to cameras. There’s certainly a market for that.

 

The Poco F7 Pro runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset – last year’s top-shelf SoC from Qualcomm, as F Pros typically do. The F7 Ultra goes for the current best Snapdragon, so you get the option to step up a notch, but the Pro’s solution is plenty powerful and future-proof.

The 6.67-inch OLED display has pixels to spare – its QHD resolution is bordering on too much, but it’s been a staple of the series for a couple of generations already and there’s no going back. The 6,000mAh battery capacity, meanwhile, marks a rather significant 20% increase over the previous generation – one of those developments that we always enjoy.

Little has changed in the camera department, and we get that – the Ultra is there to cater to camera enthusiasts, while the Pro’s focus is elsewhere. It has the basics covered, thanks to a 50MP primary unit and an 8MP ultrawide on the back, and a slightly improved 20MP front-facing camera.

There are also at least a couple of less obvious but still notable generational changes. One of them is the upgraded dust and water sealing, now IP68-rated for dust tightness and submersion. The other is the switch from an optical to an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint reader – we’re inclined to agree and classify that too as an upgrade.
