Summary: POCO has announced the F7 Ultra and F7 Pro handsets. These are the company’s new high-end smartphones, and their price tags are great. The POCO F7 Ultra is the flagship model, and comes with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, plus a great set of specs. Despite all that, its pricing starts at only $649. It is even cheaper now thanks to early bird pricing.
The POCO F7 Ultra has arrived, and we already have our review to offer you, as we’ve been using the phone for quite some time now. In any case, the company announced not only the ‘Ultra’ model, but the POCO F7 Pro too.
Both of these phones are quite compelling. The ‘Ultra’ is the more powerful model, and the one that most of you will likely be interested in. It offers great specs, and the price tag is not all that high.
The POCO F7 Ultra & F7 Pro look almost identical
First and foremost, the design. These two phones look almost the same, there are some tiny differences only. They have a flat display with a centered display camera hole up top. The bezels are thin, and POCO used the quad micro-curved approach here both for the display and the backplate. The display is flat, but the glass on top if curved on all four sides.
The sides of these phones are flat all around, while there is a round camera island on the back, in the top-left corner. It has three cameras on the inside, while the POCO logo is placed at the very bottom of the backplate.
