Xiaomi sub-brand Poco launched its flagship F7 5G mobile phone in India on Tuesday, introducing several hardware and software upgrades over its global counterparts. The Indian variant stands out with a significantly larger 7,550mAh battery—1,050mAh more than the global version—and a design refresh that includes a limited edition Cyber Silver variant with a distinct “Neon Flare Deco” finish.
The device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, supported by a 6,000mm² vapour chamber cooling system and WildBoost Gaming Optimisation 4.0 for thermal control during extended gaming sessions.
The phone is equipped with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15 and comes with a software support promise of four years of major updates and six years of security patches.

In the world’s youngest nation—where over 65% of the population is under 35—India’s future is already being shaped by those bold enough to lead it. From boardrooms to breakout ideas, a new generation of business leaders is rewriting the rules. This year's Fortune India’s 40 Under 40 celebrates these changemakers—icons in the making like Akash Ambani, Kaviya Kalanithi Maran, Shashwat Goenka, Parth Jindal, Aman Mehta, and Devansh Jain—who are not just carrying forward legacies but boldly reimagining them for a new era. Alongside them are first-generation disruptors like Sagar Daryani, scaling Wow! Momo with a vision to take ₹100 momos to 5,000 cities, and Palak Shah, turning the Banarasi weave into a global fashion story with Ekaya Banaras. These are the entrepreneurs turning ambition into scale. And even beyond traditional industry, the entrepreneurial wave is pulling in creative forces—Ranveer Singh, for instance, is shaking up wellness and nutrition with Bold Care and SuperYou, proving that passion, backed by purpose, is the new blueprint for building brands.
The Poco F7 features a 6.83-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 3,200 nits peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. The phone retains a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor and an 8MP ultrawide lens. The 20MP front camera supports multiple AI-assisted photography and video features, including Magic Eraser Pro and AI Sky Replacement.
The 7,550mAh battery supports 90W fast charging and 22.5W wired reverse charging. Poco claims up to 2.18 days of moderate usage and 1,600 charge cycles with 80% capacity retention. Despite the larger capacity, the phone maintains the form factor of a typical 5,000mAh unit.
The Poco F7 carries IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance—a rare combination in this price segment—and uses a glass back with an aluminium frame. Connectivity features include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, USB-C, and support for multiple navigation systems, including NavIC.
The phone is priced at ₹29,999 for the 12GB+256GB variant and ₹31,999 for the 12GB+512GB model. It will be available via Flipkart starting July 1, with launch-day offers including a ₹2,000 card discount and one-year screen replacement under Poco Shield. Colour options include Frost White, Phantom Black, and Cyber Silver Edition.
