In Phones by Ramon LopezLeave a Comment

POCO has just introduced a new member to its flagship F7 family — and this one might be the most intriguing yet. The POCO F7 is officially breaking cover in global markets, including the Philippines, where this latest sub-flagship is set to land with an aggressively competitive launch price.

Globally, the POCO F7 is set to retail for as low as $339 (roughly $19,304) for early birds.

For those eyeing it locally, the F7 is now available via POCO’s official Shopee store. It carries a suggested retail price of P23,999 ($422) for the base model, packing 12GB of physical RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Need more space? The top-tier 12GB/512GB configuration is priced at P25,999 ($457).

Now, those prices are already compelling, but here’s where it gets even better: POCO Philippines is slashing prices to P17,499 ($307) and P19,499 ($343) for the 256GB and 512GB models, respectively, when you claim vouchers worth up to P2,000 ($35) off. This limited-time offer ends June 30th, so if you’re interested, you may want to act fast. Color options include Black, White, and Silver.

Of course, the major highlight here is the specs — specifically, the recently announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. This chip promises to unleash flagship-level power in a far more accessible price bracket. And when we say “flagship-level,” POCO isn’t pulling any punches, claiming an eye-watering Antutu Benchmark score of 2,084,535 based on the Xiaomi sub-brand’s internal tests. Gaming is a major focus, too, with POCO boasting the F7 can tear through demanding titles like Genshin Impact at up to 120 FPS — a feat perhaps unmatched by any other device in its price segment.

For context, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 leverages TSMC’s latest 4nm manufacturing process. However, unlike its premium sibling, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the 8s Gen 4 opts for older Kryo CPU cores instead of the newer Oryon architecture. Still, this SoC is no pushover apparently, promising a 31% boost in CPU performance and a 49% jump in GPU performance, plus a claimed 44% boost to the NPU. It also introduces a new Adreno 825 GPU with on-device ray-tracing support and a suite of Snapdragon Elite Gaming features, including Snapdragon Game Super Resolution 2.0, an upscaling tech similar to Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR1, and Adreno Image Motion Engine 2.0.

To complement its powerhouse performance, the POCO F7 sports a vibrant 6.83-inch AMOLED flat display. This panel boasts a reasonably sharp 1.5K resolution and can hit a peak brightness of 3,200 nits for up to 25% of pixels. You’ll also find 3,840Hz PWM dimming, Wet Touch Display 2.0, and a highly responsive 2560Hz touch-sampling rate.

For photos and videos, the POCO F7 is equipped with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 main sensor featuring optical image stabilization, alongside a dedicated ultrawide camera and a 20-megapixel selfie shooter up front. Powering it all is a 6,500mAh battery — a slight downgrade from the rumored 7,500mAh cell — but still substantial. Thankfully, it supports 90-watt fast wired charging with the included adapter, letting you hit 80% capacity in just 30 minutes.
