Phones. They’re everywhere. And honestly? It’s getting harder to tell them apart—until you meet the Poco F7 series, where similarity becomes an illusion. You’ve got three bold contenders: the Poco F7 5G, F7 Pro, and F7 Ultra. Each one is screaming for attention like a pop idol in a tech parade. But which one’s really worth your money (or your time, which is arguably worth more these days)? Let’s slice through the specs, the shine, the show—and get to the gritty differences. Spoiler: one of them is weirdly addictive.

Poco F7 Series Overview: Pick Your Poison
Alright, deep breath. Here’s the TL;DR vibe check:
- Poco F7 5G – Gateway drug to flagship power. The little sibling with confidence issues.
- Poco F7 Pro – The sweet spot. Not too extra, not too basic. Think goldilocks but with Android 15.
- Poco F7 Ultra – Big energy. Premium flair. The Ultra is for those who want to flex a bit—but not obnoxiously.
It’s like choosing between an iced latte, a nitro cold brew, and a full-on espresso martini. All caffeine. But different consequences.
Design & Display: It’s Not Just Pretty Faces
On paper? They’re twins. In real life? Not quite.
- Same 6.67-inch AMOLED, 120Hz refresh rate, and that juicy 1440 x 3200 resolution. Which means colors pop like a Pixar movie and scrolling is smoother than a jazz saxophone on vinyl.
- But the Pro is slightly thinner—feels lighter in the hand. Almost like you’re holding air. Or, well, lighter-than-air tech.
- Both the Pro and Ultra ditch traditional fingerprint sensors for ultrasonic in-display readers. Which is cool, until it doesn’t work because your finger is damp. Been there.
Oh, and—did I mention the haptics? They’re oddly satisfying. Like, clicky. Like a good pen.
Performance & Chipset Differences: Who’s Got the Muscle?
Let’s break down the guts.
Model | Chipset | RAM |
---|---|---|
F7 5G | Likely Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-ish | Up to 12GB |
F7 Pro | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 | 12GB |
F7 Ultra | Snapdragon 8 Elite (the beast) | 12GB |
The F7 Ultra is ridiculously fast. Like, blink-and-it’s-done fast. Especially when gaming—CODM, Genshin, Asphalt 9—it doesn’t break a sweat. The F7 Pro is no slouch either. It might even feel just as quick in day-to-day use, which… makes the Ultra seem a bit overkill. Unless you’re chasing benchmark clout. Then flex away.
The F7 5G, well, it’s probably rocking a slightly older chip—but still punches above its weight class. Think dependable, like your favorite hoodie after five washes.
Camera Features Compared: Say Cheese, Pixel Style
Model | Rear Camera(s) | Selfie Cam |
---|---|---|
F7 Pro | 50MP wide + 8MP ultra-wide | 20MP |
F7 Ultra | 50MP wide + 50MP telephoto (2.5x zoom) + 32MP ultra-wide | 32MP |
If you’re a shutterbug—the Ultra wins. Period. That telephoto lens? Crispy zooms. The wide-angle? Surprisingly not trashy (which is rare). And selfies? 32MP of face realness.
The Pro keeps it simpler. Two lenses. Still solid for social media and random cat photos. I took a shot of a mango tree on the Pro and it looked like an art poster. Not bad.
Battery Life & Charging: How Long Can You Go?
Model | Battery | Wired Charging | Wireless Charging |
---|---|---|---|
F7 Pro | 6000mAh | 90W | No |
F7 Ultra | 5300mAh | 120W | Yes (50W) |
The F7 Pro is a marathon runner. It just goes and goes and… yeah. The 6000mAh cell is thicc—a whole extra hour of screen-on time compared to the Ultra, at least in my week of use.
But the Ultra? Charges like lightning on Red Bull. 120W wired and 50W wireless. You’ll be fully juiced before your microwave popcorn finishes. Real talk.
Just note: wireless charging can get warm. Like, palm-sweaty warm. Not ideal while scrolling memes in bed.
Software & Special Features: Is AI a Gimmick Yet?
Both phones ship with HyperOS 2 (Android 15 base) and a sprinkle of HyperAI. Which… is basically Poco’s way of saying “Look! Smart stuff!”
And there’s Google Gemini integration, which either works like a charm or disappears into the background, depending on your usage. Voice typing is spookily good, though—almost creepy how it finishes your thoughts.
Perks they all share:
- 5G (duh)
- NFC
- Stereo speakers that slap, especially with bass-heavy tracks
- IR blaster (yes, it’s still a thing—useful if you lose remotes a lot, like me)
Price & Value: Are You Getting Ripped Off or Nah?
Model | Price (India) | Price (UK) |
---|---|---|
F7 Pro | ₹42,990 | £499 |
F7 Ultra | ₹54,990 | £649 |
Let’s be honest—the Ultra is spicy on the wallet. You’re paying for the camera, charging speed, and a chipset you may not even max out. But… it does feel premium. The Pro? More reasonable. You still get 90% of the experience. Just no wireless charging and a few megapixels short.
Which Poco F7 Should You Buy?
TL;DR with feels:
- Go Ultra if you’re that person who needs the best everything—even if you won’t use half of it. No judgment.
- Go Pro if you want flagship power without selling a kidney. Also, great battery.
- Go 5G if you’re budget-conscious but still want speed and vibes. Good enough, especially if you’re not obsessed with cameras.
Personal side note: I ended up sticking with the Pro. That 6000mAh battery? Kind of saved me during a 2-hour traffic jam with no charger. True story.

Final Thought?
Buying a phone in 2025 is like online dating. Specs look great on paper, but you won’t really know until you’re a few weeks in. So trust your gut. Or at least your battery meter.
