Xiaomi is likely a way off from refreshing its POCO F series smartphones. Nonetheless, the POCO F7 is alleged to feature a a significant upgrade over the POCO F6 even at this early stage.

New details about the POCO F7 series and its peers continue to slowly appear online, months before their presumed releases. For example, there have been sightings of the POCO F7 Pro in recent weeks, as well as its Redmi K80 stablemate. On top of that, other evidence suggested that Xiaomi was working towards delivering specific global and Indian variants of the POCO F7.

In recent years, Xiaomi has based its entry-level POCO F series smartphones on 'Turbo' branded Redmi smartphones it sells exclusively in China. For instance, the POCO F6 (curr. $392 on Amazon) is the Redmi Turbo 3 for international audiences. However, it was unclear to what Redmi device the POCO F7 was related.

Now, early details about what appears to be the Redmi Turbo 4 has emerged courtesy of a prominent Weibo leaker. Not only does the leaker provide the device's retail name, but they have also shared its 2412DRT0AC model number. Since the POCO F7 has already been associated with 2412DPC0AG and 2412DPC0AGI, it would seem that the Redmi Turbo 4 and POCO F7 are one in the same device.

Allegedly, Xiaomi plans to install a 1.5K AMOLED display once again, as well as a plastic mid-frame to reduce weight and production costs. However, the device is also said to contain a new 'super large' battery, presumably eclipsing the 5,000 mAh combined capacity offered inside the POCO F6 and Redmi Turbo 3. Unfortunately, other details remain unknown for now, although we suspect Xiaomi will wait until the middle of 2025 before replacing the POCO F6, given its recent global release.
