The Poco F7 is all set to launch in India on June 24, but ahead of the official event, fresh leaks have given away some key details, including the potential price range. According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the upcoming Poco smartphone could be priced between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000. While this has not been confirmed by the brand, the leaked range aligns with Poco’s past pricing strategy for its F-series phones.

In recent years, Poco has positioned its F-series as performance-driven devices at aggressive prices. The F6 and F5 both started at Rs 29,999, while the F4 was launched at Rs 27,999. Considering the tough competition under the Rs 35,000 segment from rivals like iQOO and OnePlus, Poco is expected to keep the F7 within reach of value-focused buyers.
The Poco F7 is already listed on Flipkart, giving a glimpse of what to expect. The biggest highlight appears to be its massive 7,550mAh battery — potentially the largest ever seen on a smartphone in India. Poco claims the battery can last more than two days on a single charge under normal usage. This is made possible by silicon-carbon battery tech, which also supports 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging, turning the device into a power bank when needed. If the specs are accurate, the Poco F7 could surpass existing leaders like the iQOO Z10 and Vivo T4 in battery capacity. However, the final design is still under wraps, so questions remain about whether the phone will be bulky due to its large battery.

In terms of performance, the Poco F7 is expected to come with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. A recent Geekbench listing hints that the phone could feature this processor, paired with 12GB of RAM in at least one variant. This new chip is designed for high-end performance, and early benchmarks indicate that it might deliver speeds close to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
To give some context, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 uses a balanced core setup, including one Cortex-X4, five Cortex-A720, and two Cortex-A520 cores. In comparison, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is tuned more for multi-core performance, with one Cortex-X4 and seven Cortex-A720 cores, but it skips the smaller efficiency cores. As a result, users may get strong processing power but slightly lower battery efficiency. If the Poco F7 does launch around the Rs 30,000 mark with this chipset, it could be one of the most powerful phones in its segment. That said, since these details are based on leaks and not yet officially confirmed by Poco, it’s best to wait for the launch before drawing conclusions.
The Poco F7 is also said to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which launched recently in China. If that is true, the Indian variant could offer a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and IP68 water and dust resistance. Storage options may go up to 1TB, and the RAM could go as high as 16GB. On the camera front, leaks point to a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 20MP front shooter for selfies and video calls.
With the official launch just days away, Poco fans will soon find out how accurate these leaks are. If the pricing and features turn out to be true, the F7 could give strong competition to other mid-range heavyweights in India.
