Kathmandu, Nepal – June 18, 2025 – POCO, the popular smartphone brand, has officially confirmed the highly anticipated launch of its next F-series smartphone, the POCO F7, in India. The device is slated to make its grand debut on June 24, 2025, at 5:30 PM IST, with the event expected to be livestreamed across various platforms. This launch will also see the POCO F7 unveiled in global markets on the same day.
The POCO F7 is already generating considerable buzz, primarily due to a confirmed feature that positions it uniquely in the Indian smartphone market: it will house a massive 7,550mAh Silicon-Carbon (Si/C) battery, making it the largest battery capacity ever seen in an Indian smartphone. This significant battery, coupled with 90W fast wired charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging, promises unparalleled endurance and versatility for power users.
Design Teasers and Expected Performance
POCO has been actively teasing the design of the F7, showcasing a distinct aesthetic. Leaked renders and official teasers suggest a cyber-esque design language, with one “Limited Edition” variant featuring a dual-tone chassis with prominent screws and possibly RGB lighting around the camera module, hinting at a strong focus on a “gamer” aesthetic.
While specific official details on the processor are still under wraps, strong rumors and Geekbench listings indicate that the POCO F7 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC. This next-generation chipset is expected to deliver flagship-level performance, positioning the F7 as a formidable contender in the upper mid-range segment and a potential “flagship killer.”

Building on its reputation for offering powerful specifications at competitive prices, the POCO F7 is expected to come packed with:
- Display: A large 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a high 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. It’s also rumored to boast an impressive peak brightness of 3,200 nits and high-frequency PWM dimming for eye protection.
