Poco F7 Ultra outperforms even Xiaomi 15 Ultra in early benchmark with Snapdragon 8 Elite and VisionBoost D7 chipsets
Xiaomi has confirmed that it will soon be offering Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset inside another of its devices. To date, the company packages the Snapdragon 8 Elite inside four devices, two fo which are available globally:
On March 27, the Poco F7 Ultra will join the four devices listed above as an effective successor to last year's Poco F6 Pro (curr. $429 on Amazon). Apparently, the Poco F7 Ultra extracts more performance from the Snapdragon 8 Elite than the Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 15 Pro or Xiaomi 15 Ultra managed when we reviewed them.
According to Xiaomi, the Poco F7 Ultra achieves a total score of 2,843,461 in AnTuTu v10, which only the ROG Phone 9 Pro and Qualcomm's reference device have bettered in our tests. By contrast, our Xiaomi 15 series review units were unable to hit a total score of 2,700,000.
In part, Xiaomi attributes this score to its new VisionBoost D7 chipset. The first-ever dedicated graphics chipset in a Poco smartphone, the VisionBoost D7 utilises a 12 nm node to help the Poco F7 Ultra supposedly achieve 120 FPS when playing Genshin Impact at 2K.
It is worth stressing that Xiaomi achieved this AnTuTu score under laboratory conditions. As a result, this is unlikely to be representative of how well the Poco F7 Ultra will perform day-to-day. With that being said, a total score of 2,843,461 would put the Poco F7 Ultra sixth in AnTuTu's overall rankings behind the iQOO 13, RedMagic 10 Pro Plus, Vivo X200 Pro and the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro.
