The Poco F7 is set to enter the global smartphone market soon, and Pakistani consumers are eagerly awaiting its arrival. While Poco has not officially confirmed a launch date for Pakistan, the phone has already appeared on global certification platforms, suggesting an imminent debut. Based on previous trends, the Pakistani launch may follow shortly after the global unveiling, possibly by the end of June.

Powerful Hardware: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and Performance

The Poco F7 is expected to feature the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. According to Geekbench listings, this chip includes:

• 1 Prime core at 3.21 GHz

• 3 Performance cores at 3.01 GHz

• 2 Additional performance cores at 2.80 GHz

• 2 Efficiency cores at 2.02 GHz

• Adreno 825 GPU

While the specs look impressive on paper, real-world performance, thermal management, and battery efficiency remain to be tested. Additionally, the phone may come with 12GB RAM and run Android 15-based HyperOS, making it one of the first devices in its price range to launch with the latest Android version.

Expected Features: Display, Battery, and Camera

Rumors suggest that the Poco F7 could be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. If true, Pakistani users can expect:

• 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED display with up to 3,200 nits brightness

• 7,550mAh battery with 90W fast charging

• IP69 rating for dust and water resistance

• Dual rear camera setup with a 50MP main sensor

While these features are enticing, the actual user experience will depend on Poco’s optimization. Large batteries and high-brightness displays often raise concerns about heating and throttling during gaming and extended video playback.

Expected Price in Pakistan and Competition

The Poco F6 was positioned as a mid-range performance device globally. However, due to rising import duties and PTA taxes, the Poco F7 is likely to be priced between PKR 115,000 to PKR 125,000 in Pakistan. At this price point, it will face tough competition from brands like vivo (V50), Samsung (A36), and Oppo (Reno 14), which offer more refined software ecosystems and better after-sales support.

Should You Wait for the Poco F7?

If you prioritize high performance at a relatively moderate price, the Poco F7 could be worth waiting for. However, given the increasing costs, there are strong alternatives in the market. Poco will need to deliver more than just raw specs—real-world performance and optimization will be key factors in making a final decision.
