Review of Poco F7: Return to Basic Features
The Poco F7, a mid-range smartphone from Xiaomi's sub-brand, has made a significant impact in the market with its standout battery life and performance. This device, priced competitively, offers a battery capacity of up to 7550mAh (in the Indian version) or 6500mAh (international version), making it one of the biggest batteries in its segment.
The Poco F7's battery is powered by silicon-carbon battery technology, which offers more energy density than traditional lithium-ion batteries. This innovation contributes to longer endurance without increasing the phone's thickness. In real-world PCMark battery tests, the Poco F7 lasted more than 20 hours, surpassing competitors like the iQOO Neo 10 (7000mAh) and Vivo T4 Ultra (5500mAh) by roughly 5 to 7 hours.
Moreover, user feedback suggests that over 50% of users report the phone can last more than a day on a single charge, with many claiming two days or more. This is an excellent feat for a phone in this price range.
The Poco F7 also supports 90W Turbo Charging, allowing it to charge from 20% to 100% in about 45 minutes. While this charging speed is slightly slower than the iQOO Neo 10’s 120W charging that can do so in under 30 minutes, it still ensures quick recharging.
In terms of performance, the Poco F7 offers strong performance in gaming and streaming, typical for mid-range phones, and maintains standard power consumption relative to its competitors during use. The phone supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ streaming with Widevine L1 certification, offering a high-quality media experience.
In comparison, the Poco F7 outperforms many rivals in battery life, with a slightly slower charging speed compared to the fastest competitors. Its solid performance, long battery life, and fast charging make it a very competitive choice for users prioritizing battery and charging in this market segment.
The Poco F7 is available in the Indian market at a price of ₹31,999 for the base variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The device's premium-feeling design, water resistance rating of IP68 and IP69, and additional features like battery stats in the settings menu and multiple charging options further enhance its appeal.
- The Poco F7, a device popular in India, not only excels in technology with its long-lasting battery and efficient performance but also caters to the nation's love for cricket, offering long hours of uninterrupted entertainment on its Dolby Vision and HDR10+ compatible screen.
- Aside from being a viable choice for tech-savvy customers seeking smartphones, the Poco F7, with its silicon-carbon battery technology, also attracts enthusiasts of gadgets, boasting a battery capacity surpassing many competitors in its segment.
- While the Poco F7's 90W Turbo Charging may not be the fastest in the market, its ability to charge from 20% to 100% in about 45 minutes still makes it a compelling option for Indians who require the latest technology, including smartphones, to stay connected and productive throughout their day.
