Xiaomi is preparing to bring the POCO F7 on international markets, with the device now certified by IMDA Singapore. Following the presentation of the models POCO F7 Pro and POCO F7 Ultra, the base variant is poised to become a competitive option in the mid-range segment. However, one change from the Indian and Chinese versions might raise some eyebrows among users: The global model's battery will be reduced to 6.500mAh, compared to the 7.550 mAh of the variants sold in India and China.
POCO F7 Certified by IMDA: Global Launch Imminent
Il POCO F7 is a repurposed version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro and aims to offer high-end specifications at an affordable price. After the BIS certification in India, the device was initially intended for the Indian market only. Now, with the IMDA approval, the POCO F7 is ready for global deployment.
Reducing battery capacity is nothing new for Xiaomi: already with the POCO X7 Pro, the global variant received a 6.000 mAh battery, while the Indian version retained 6.550 mAh. A choice probably linked to market regulations or cost strategies.
Despite the battery change, the POCO F7 retains many of the premium features seen in previous models. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor and it presents a 6,83-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. With a maximum brightness of 3.200 nits, the panel offers an excellent visual experience, ideal for gaming and multimedia content.
The hardware configuration ensures smooth performance, while the 50 MP main camera with OIS optical stabilization promises detailed shots and good performance in variable lighting conditions.
Despite the reduction in battery capacity, the POCO F7 maintains support for 90W fast wired charging, a feature that allows for significantly reduced charging times. The reduction in battery life could impact battery life compared to the variants sold in India and China, but it is still higher than the 5.000 mAh of the previous generation.
With the company POCO F7 Pro sold at the list price of €549,90 and the POCO F7 Ultra at €729,90 POCO The F7 should be positioned in a price range between the two.
