POCO F7, F7 Pro, and F7 Ultra Spotted on Certification Listings; F7 Pro May Feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

POCO, the brand known for its competitive smartphones, appears to be preparing the release of its next-generation F7 series. The POCO F7, F7 Pro, and the newly surfaced POCO F7 Ultra have been spotted on various certification platforms, hinting at an impending launch.

These phones are expected to succeed the POCO F6 series, which gained traction in markets like India with its attractive pricing and features. Here's what the certification leaks reveal about the upcoming models.

Certification Listings Shed Light on POCO F7 and F7 Ultra

The POCO F7 series phones were recently seen on the IMDA certification site (spotted by MySmartPrice), adding to the anticipation. According to reports, the standard POCO F7 is associated with the model number 24122RKC7G, while the POCO F7 Ultra is identified as 2412DPC0AG, with the "G" in the model number likely indicating a global variant. Both devices are expected to support 5G connectivity, along with other modern wireless features such as NFC, Bluetooth, and WiFi.

This follows an earlier IMDA listing for the POCO F7 Pro (model 24117RK2CG), which also confirms similar connectivity features, including 5G and NFC. However, the certification sites have not revealed detailed specifications for these devices, leaving room for speculation.

What to Expect From the POCO F7 Series

Display and Design

The POCO F7 series is rumored to continue the brand's strategy of offering high-quality displays at competitive prices. The standard POCO F7 is likely to feature a 1.5K flat-screen display, while the Pro model may boast a higher-resolution 2K display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Performance and Chipsets

Reports suggest that the POCO F7 could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset. The Pro variant, however, might step up the game with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, one of the most powerful processors in the Android ecosystem.

Battery and Charging

Battery capacity and charging speeds are also rumored to receive an upgrade. Both models may house a 6,000mAh battery or larger, paired with 90W fast charging.

Speculation and Rebranding

A key aspect of POCO's strategy is its close alignment with Xiaomi's Redmi lineup. Industry insiders speculate that the POCO F7 might be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4, which aligns with past practices of rebranding Redmi devices for global markets. However, there is no official confirmation yet.

Launch Timeline and Price Expectations

While POCO has not officially confirmed the launch timeline for the F7 series, the appearance of multiple models on certification sites suggests the devices could debut soon.

Based on the pricing of the F6 series, which started at ₹29,999 in India, the new lineup is expected to remain in the mid-range segment, making it an attractive choice for price-conscious consumers.
