Poco F7 Ultra: True Flagship or Hype?

Just as phones have become smaller, more powerful, and more advanced, so too have the names that identify them. Terms such as “Plus,” “Pro,” and now “Ultra” are not merely marketing jargon—they are actual levels of innovation, performance, and status.

Poco, a brand celebrated for its no-nonsense performance and unbeatable value, is making its boldest move yet. After redefining the flagship killer category with the legendary Poco F1, Poco now unveils the Poco F7 Ultra—its most premium device to date—at a grand event at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.

But the real question remains: Does the Poco F7 Ultra live up to its “Ultra” name?

Ultra Performance That Redefines Speed

Performance has always been Poco’s DNA, and the F7 Ultra stays true to that heritage. Driven by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor fabricated using a leading-edge 3nm process, it delivers—and exceeds—promises with a 45% increase in CPU performance and 44% improvement in GPU speeds over the last model.

Topped with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, the F7 Ultra annihilates demanding multitasking, premium gaming, and professional content editing with ease. It even hits a record-breaking 2.84 million points on AnTuTu, cementing its status among the fastest smartphones today.

The VisionBoost D7 graphics chip further enhances gaming by delivering 2K resolution at 120FPS in demanding titles like Genshin Impact, offering crisp visuals, vibrant colors, and smooth frame rates.

Ultra Display: Stunning Visuals, Ultimate Durability

Poco F7 Ultra has a 6.67-inch 2K Flow AMOLED with 3200×1440 resolution, 526 ppi, and up to 3200 nits peak brightness. With support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and 12-bit colors, the screen delivers stunning images with exceptional color accuracy.

Certified by TÜV Rheinland for low blue light and flicker-free comfort, and equipped with 3840Hz PWM dimming and 16,000-level auto brightness, the display ensures a smooth viewing experience in all lighting conditions.

On the design front, the F7 Ultra flaunts a quad-curved glass back, aerospace-grade aluminum frame, and IP68 water-and-dust resistance. However, while the device feels premium and durable, the yellow color variant could have been more strikingly integrated into the overall design.

Ultra Cameras: Poco’s True Breakthrough

Historically, camera performance has been Poco’s weakness—until now.

The Poco F7 Ultra introduces a 50MP Light Fusion 800 main camera with a large 1/1.55″ sensor, OIS, and advanced pixel-binning for superior low-light performance. It is complemented by Poco’s first-ever 50MP floating telephoto lens, offering 2.5x optical zoom, 5x in-sensor zoom, and highly detailed macro photography at just 10cm.

What sets the F7 Ultra apart is the new Poco AISP (AI LM Computational Photography) engine, dramatically enhancing dynamic range, nighttime photography, and portrait shots. Features like Dynamic Shots and UltraSnap add creative flair for social media enthusiasts.

Battery, Charging, and Software: Built to Last

A 5300mAh battery powers the device, paired with 120W HyperCharge and 50W wireless charging. It charges to 100% in just 34 minutes, while Poco’s Surge P3 and G1 chips ensure long-term battery health over 1600 charge cycles.

Running on Xiaomi HyperOS 2, the F7 Ultra delivers smooth performance, enhanced device integration, and smart AI-powered features, with full Google Gemini integration for a modern, intuitive experience.

Final Verdict: Is the Poco F7 Ultra Truly “Ultra”?

The Poco F7 Ultra remains faithful to the brand’s mantra: “Everything you need, nothing you don’t.” It provides incredible performance, a flagship-level display, substantial camera improvements, and lightning-fast charging—all at a very aggressive price point starting at Rs.35,999.

While there’s room for improvement in design flair and camera fine-tuning, this is undeniably Poco’s best flagship yet—a true “Ultra” that’s now accessible to more power users, gamers, and creators than ever before.
