If you’ve been following Poco for a while now, you should be no stranger to the fact that their motto can be inferred to be “performance first, fast charge second and everything else last”. It’s funny but it’s true. So put that in mind as we discuss Poco F7 vs Poco X7 Pro.
The Poco F7 was released in June of 2025 as the base device of the Poco F7 series. This makes it the direct successor to the Poco F6. For all intents and purposes, it is a flagship killer by its performance alone. It actually posts a better AnTuTu score than the Poco F7 Pro.
The Poco X7 Pro on the other hand is slightly older, being announced in January of 2026. It is part of the X7 series and replaces the Poco X6 Pro. It is a premium mid-range device.
Without any further ado, let’s get into the comparison.
Poco F7 vs Poco X7 Pro
| Specs | Poco F7 | Poco X7 Pro | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body | Aluminum frame, glass back, IP68 | Plastic frame, plastic or polymer back, IP68 | F7 |
| Display | 2772×1280p AMOLED, 120Hz | 2712×1220p AMOLED, 120Hz | F7 |
| OS | HyperOS 2 (Android 15) | HyperOS 2 (Android 15) | Tie |
| SoC | Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (AnTuTu: 2,082,208) | Dimensity 8400 (AnTuTu: 1,633,597) | F7 |
| Camera | 50+8MP (rear), 20MP (selfie) | 50+8MP (rear), 20MP (selfie) | F7 |

| Sound | Stereo speakers, no 3.5mm jack | Stereo speakers, no 3.5mm jack | Tie |
| Comms | WiFi 7, BT 5.4, GPS, NFC, IR, USB-C 2.0 | WiFi 6, BT 6, GPS, NFC, IR, USB-C 2.0 | Tie |
| Battery | 6500mAh (global) / 7550mAh (India) | 6000mAh (global) / 6550mAh (India) | F7 |
| Fast Charge | 90W fast charge | 90W fast charge | Tie |
Body:
There’s no question here as to which device is better. The Poco F7 with it’s aluminum frame and glass back will probably hold up better than the Poco X7 Pro which has a plastic frame and a plastic or polymer back cover.
That being said, both phones have IP68 water resistance and can be kept under water for up to 30 minutes (I wouldn’t advise that though).
Display:
The Poco F7 ships with 1280p AMOLED display whilst the Poco X7 Pro has a 1220p AMOLED display. When it comes to resolution which is paramount in a display, the Poco F7 takes the win.
For other features, they both support 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and a peak brightness of 3200nits in sunlight. It should be noted that the Poco F7 has better screen dimming compared to the X7 Pro.
Software:
Both devices run on HyperOS 2 which runs on top of Android 15.
Performance:
The Poco F7 is powered by the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 whilst the Poco X7 Pro is powered by the Dimensity 8400. When it comes to performance there’s only one clear winner here and it’s the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 on the F7.
If you check my listing of the best smartphone processors in the world, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is 10th place whilst the Dimensity 8400 is in 18th.
On AnTuTu 10, here’s how they score:
- Snapdragon 8s Gen 4: 2,082,208
- Dimensity 8400: 1,633,597
Camera and video:
Both phones ship with a 50+8MP rear setup with a 20MP selfie in front. Funnily enough, they both use the same 20MP Omnivision OV20B selfie camera. The rear cameras however are different.
The Poco F7 uses a combination of a 50MP Sony LYT-600 main camera with an 8MP Omnivision OV08F ultrawide camera. The Poco X7 Pro on the other hand uses a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera and an 8MP Smartsens SC820CS ultrawide sensor.
In terms of picture quality on both cameras, the win clearly goes to the Poco F7 due to its better processing power especially as they’ll both be using the same software.
For videos, both phones can record videos of up to 4K@60fps. It would interest you to know that the Poco F7 can do up to 8K@24fps video and you might be able to unlock that with a Gcam.
Easy win for the Poco F7.
Sound:
Both phones come with stereo speakers and sadly do not have the legendary 3.5mm jack. In any case, they both support 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res & Hi-Res Wireless audio.
Comms:
They’re both 5G devices and they support GPS, NFC, Infrared and USB C (2.0).
The F7 supports WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 whilst the X7 Pro supports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 6. This means that the F7 had better WiFi but weaker Bluetooth and the case is vice versa for the X7 Pro. Make of it what you will.
Features:
Both devices use under display Fingerprint sensors (optical) and have support for accelerometers, gyroscopes, proximity sensors and compasses.
Battery and Charging:
The Poco X7 Pro ships with a 6000mAh battery for the global version and a 6550mAh battery for the Indian version. The Poco F7 does a better job by shipping with bigger batteries (6500mAh – global and 7550mAh – India).
Both phones support 90W fast charge and can do 0-100% under 45-50 mins.
Summary:
So let’s do a tally:
- Body: F7
- Display: F7
- OS: Tie
- Performance: F7
- Cameras: F7
- Sound: Tie
- Comms: Tie
- Features: Tie
- Battery: F7
- Charging: Tie
I have not gotten the prices for the F7 yet so I’m going to update when I do.
Regardless, in the Poco pecking order like I explained in my last video, F is always better than X in the same generation. If you haven’t seen it, please do.
Both phones are high end and are very good but in this particular contest, the winner is clearly the Poco F7.
