Xiaomi Poco F7 released at $339 to undercut Nothing Phone (3) with pre-order bonuses too
Xiaomi has finally expanded the Poco F7 series globally with the Poco F7, which arrives just before Nothing introduces the Phone (3) with an identical Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. Expanding on the Poco F7 Pro and the Poco F7 Ultra (curr. $799 on Amazon), the Poco F7 utilises a 6,500 mAh battery globally with support for 90 W charging. Although Xiaomi offers the same charging wattage in India, it complements its HyperCharge technology with a 16% higher capacity battery totalling 7,550 mAh.
Setting that aside, all versions should ship with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 flash storage packed within a 163.1 x 77.9 x 8.2 mm housing that weighs around 215 g. Moreover, Xiaomi equips the Poco F7 with an AMOLED display that measures 6.83-inches diagonally while outputting at 2,772 x 1,280 with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 3,200 nits peak brightness (25% APL). For reference Xiaomi also protects the large display with Gorilla Glass 7i, full details of which you can find on Corning's website.
Meanwhile, the Poco F7 leverages a Sony IMX882 as its primary camera with an f/1.5 aperture and a 50 MP native output. For some reason, Xiaomi has not mentioned the device's second rear-facing camera at all in its press materials. By omission, this suggests that this second camera is an auxiliary 2 MP lens at best that is of little use. Conversely, Xiaomi has confirmed that the Poco F7's front-facing outputs natively at 20 MP.
The Poco F7 is available from today with 12 GB of RAM and a choice between 256 GB or 512 GB of storage. On top of that, Xiaomi is offering its latest Poco F smartphone in Black, White and Cyber Silver colour options. Initially, Xiaomi will bundle one of the Body Composition Scale S400, Portable Electric Air Compressor 2 or Redmi Watch 5 Lite with pre-orders placed before July 7 in some markets. Please check your local Xiaomi website for applicable pre-order deals. As it stands, the company has priced the Poco F7 as follows across the UK, US and the Eurozone:
- 12 GB RAM/256 GB storage
- Early Bird: £319/$339/€399.90
