Xiaomi Poco F7 Pro in Testing

Snapdragon 8 General 3, 90 Watt Shop and 3K-OLED-POCO F7 Pro offers high class technology at a reasonable price. The test shows whether it is the mid-range king or not.

POCO F with the series-it stands for strong techniques at a reasonable price for years, which are traditionally trimmed to perform. With F7 Pro, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Snapdragon 8 GEN 3, a bright, bright 3K-OLED display and flat, brings a smartphone with chic design. 459 Euro,

The mid -range is only clear when it comes to the camera device, for example except for a tailness. Our test makes it clear how F7 Pro does in everyday life and under load.

Visually, Poco F7 Pro stands out of the typical mid -range goods. The angular look is reminiscent of current iPhones, flat housing looks elegant and high quality. The processing is innocent: a metal frame meets a glass, which is also the first with IP68 certification against water and dust in the F series.

With a depth of 8.1 mm, F7 Pro is one of the slim representatives in its class. The dimension of 160.3 × 75 × 8.1 mm and the weight of G does not make it a compact device, but it looks pleasant to its size. Single operation is hardly practical.

The striking is a large, round camera dement with two lentils and LEDs – it ensures a certain recognition value, but makes the device a light inclination on the table. The buttons sit clean in the housing and provide clearly defined pressure points. Poco adds a transparent protective cover.

The Poco F7 Pro offers an impressive AMOLED display that is not required to be hidden behind the transfer of more expensive tools and flagship levels. A high resolution of 3200 × 1440 pixels with a 6.67 -inch diagonal ensures a razor -sharap display with 526 PPI. The colors look strong and the contradictions are pronounced with the deepest black – specific OLED.

The screen is also read with direct sunlight, with maximum glow of up to 3200 nits. The variable of 60 to 120 Hz ensures fresh rate liquid representations, for example when scrolling or gaming. Touch Sampling Rate A sharp 480 Hz-This profit is mainly the advantage of rapid reactions in sports. The panel is preserved by Gorilla Glass 7i, the front camera sits inconsistently on a small punch hole position.

With the camera, the Poco F7 Pro shows its mid-range original. Instead of versatile triple setup, the manufacturer installs a dual camera with strong main and weak wide angle lens.

Optical image gives a 50-megapixel main camera (f/1.6) with natural color rendering and good mobility in daylight with good dynamics in daylight with optical image stabilization (OIS). Color style and contrast can be adjusted using software at request. Even digital zoom works with a low quality of quality with even four times the increase, up to ten times the pictures are still useful. Poco at night surprises with bright, well -coordinated photos – the noise appears, but remains within this price range.

The 8-megapixel wide-angle camera (f/2.2) is less confident. The dynamics of the image are restricted, the details are quickly washed. There is no dedicated macrome mode. On the other hand, 20 megapixel front camera shoots, fast selfie and makes a natural bokeh in portrait mode.

Video F7 Pro records FPS up to 4K with the main camera – stable, wide and color loyal. The front camera makes a maximum of 60 FPS film in HD, but also gives concrete results.

Bottom Line: The camera equipment is sufficient for everyday life and social media, but ambitious photographers have to do telezoom without more flexibility.

The F7 Pro is also well equipped in the interface: Wifi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and an infrared port board. Only negative side: USB-C port only supports USB 2.0, which leads to slow data transmission-but is still normal in this price range.

Stereo speakers provide a good sound in media playback. Acoustic quality is also assured while calling. The fingerprint sensor is integrated into the display and reacts firmly.

Hyper OS 2, Xiaomis user interface runs on Poco F7 Pro based on Android 15. The graphical surface looks streamlined, but a lot of blotware is pre -installed, but it can be removed. Practical: Xiaomi integrates some AI tasks for image processing, including a wise eraser or anti-ante-ante-reactive line.

At the time of testing, a security patch of April 1, 2025 was installed, nor updated, but still in green. Positive: Xiaomi has severely improved the updated policy. Security updates should now be available for six years, ie by 2031. The new Android versions are incorporated up to four years for Android 19. It has been a rareness in this price range so far.

Despite slim housing, the Poco F7 Pro installs a strong 6000 mAh battery. The smartphone exceeds sufficient reserves. In PCMark Battery Testing, the device achieved an excellent value of about 14.5 hours – enough for a long, with moderate use even two days.

The Poco F7 Pro is also clear while charging: With the attached 90-watt power supply, the battery level jumps up to 20 to 40 percent in just 10 minutes. The entire load from 20 to 100 percent lasts about 30 minutes, a complete charging process is done in about 40 minutes. Only negative side: wireless charging is not supported.

Meanwhile, prices have fallen significantly: the 256 GB version is currently a goal. 459 Euro 512 GB is available for version 480 Euro Payable. The colors have to be selected with silver, black and blue.

The Poco F7 Pro provides excellent price-demonstration ratio and hence it is a real no-brainer. The performance is at a major level of 2024. Slim housing is of high quality, and large batteries also ensure heavy terms. In addition, there is a first class OLED display that leaves nothing to be desired.

Dissatisfied smartphone should monitor the environment as mini-detta centers

If you can do without a telecast and do not have the highest value on photography, the Poco F7 Pro gets an extremely powerful smartphone for less than 500 euros – a real inner thread tip. The King of the Middle Class is not due to the missing tongue – but something like a sports car among the cheap smartphones.
