Updated: 28-06-2025, 10.56 AM

Xiaomi’s Poco brand has officially unleashed its next-generation duo — the Poco F7 and Poco F7 Pro — and both aim to disrupt the upper mid-range smartphone market. These two phones bring near-flagship specs at aggressively competitive prices. But with only a €100 / ₹10,000 price gap between them, which one offers better value for your money?

Poco F7 vs Poco F7 Pro

Here’s a full breakdown across display, performance, battery, camera, and more — helping you decide whether to go with the standard Poco F7 or spend a little more for the F7 Pro.

📱 Design & Build: Premium vs Practical

Poco F7: Slightly larger and heavier, with a plastic back
Poco F7 Pro: Slightly more compact and lighter, with a glass back

Both share the same design DNA, symmetrical bezels, IP68 water resistance, Gorilla Glass Victus on the front, and a plastic frame designed to mimic metal. The Pro model feels more premium in hand thanks to its glass back, making it a better pick for those who appreciate tactile quality.

Winner: Poco F7 Pro (for premium feel)

🔁 Display: Size vs Sharpness

F7: 6.83″ AMOLED, 2772x1280px, 120Hz, 1525 nits
F7 Pro: 6.67″ AMOLED, 3200x1440px (QHD+), 120Hz, 1478 nits

Both displays support Dolby Vision and offer top-tier brightness, but the F7 Pro wins in pixel density (526 ppi vs F7’s 440 ppi). The F7, however, gives you more screen real estate for media and gaming.

Winner: Tie (F7 for size, Pro for sharpness)

🔋 Battery & Charging: Bigger vs Better Efficiency

F7: 6500 mAh, 90W charging, 39 min full charge
F7 Pro: 6000 mAh, 90W charging, 34 min full charge

Despite the F7’s larger battery, the F7 Pro delivers better real-world battery life in most scenarios thanks to superior power management. The exception is gaming, where the F7’s larger battery lasts longer.

Winner: Poco F7 Pro (for overall efficiency)

🎮 Performance: Powerful vs Flagship-Class

F7: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (3.2 GHz), 12GB RAM, UFS 4.1
F7 Pro: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 12GB RAM, UFS 4.1

Both are ultra-fast, but the F7 Pro’s Gen 3 chip leads in GPU-heavy tasks like gaming and video rendering. The difference is minor in day-to-day tasks but significant for gamers and power users.

Winner: Poco F7 Pro

📷 Camera Showdown: Subtle But Noticeable Gains

Rear Camera Setup (Both):

50 MP main with OIS
8 MP ultrawide
20 MP front camera (OmniVision OV20B)

Key differences:

F7 Pro uses a better main sensor for HDR and ultrawide low-light shots
F7 captures sharper 2x digital zoom and slightly better low-light photos from the main cam

Video: Both shoot 4K@60fps, but F7 Pro has more stable and detailed footage across conditions.

Winner: Poco F7 Pro (for overall camera + video refinement)

🔊 Audio, Haptics, & Extras

Both phones feature Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, USB-C, IR blaster, and high-quality haptic feedback
F7 supports DisplayPort video output, which the Pro oddly lacks

Winner: Tie (F7 for versatility, Pro for refinement)

💰 Price & Value

Poco F7 (12+256 GB): €449 / ~₹35,000
Poco F7 Pro (12+256 GB): €499 / ~$499 / ~₹45,000

The F7 delivers outstanding performance, battery, and camera sharpness for its price — and may be the best pick for most users. The F7 Pro is for those who want a more refined flagship experience, sharper display, and better video/photo consistency.

✅ Verdict: Which Should You Buy?

Buy Poco F7 if you want:
A larger display
Longer gaming battery life
Better 2x digital zoom shots
Near-identical performance at lower cost

Buy Poco F7 Pro if you want:
