Poco F7 Launch Alert! IMDA Listing Spills Secrets – What To Expect From Xiaomi’s Next Budget Beast
Poco fans!! Rejoice. The long-awaited and long-rumored Poco F7 has finally popped up on Singapore’s IMDA certification site indicating that a launch is around the corner. Poco is known for startling the world with flagship killers. And now we have heard thundering questions regarding the F-series. The F series does have a cult following. But with leaks suggestive of a Snapdragon chipset, 120hz display, and aggressive pricing does the F7 have what it takes to surpass the Redmi Note 13 pro and Realme 12 pro? Let’s try to decode the hype surrounding the phone.
IMDA Leak: WHATS CONFIRMED?
The Listing on IMDA(LISTING: 24069PC95G) confirms the name of the phone and also its 5G support. Although a lot of the specs are not revealed in this document, factors like previous rumors and Xiamoi’s track record gives us plenty to speculate on.
*Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 Chipset: Expect smooth multitasking along with gaming*
*New 120Hz AMOLED Display: First for the F series?*

Why the Poco F7 Could Be a Game-Changer
Flagship Features at Mid-Range Prices
If the F7 is priced below ₹25,000 as predicted, it will outperform competitors like the Nothing Phone (2a) and Samsung Galaxy F55. At this price range, a 120Hz AMOLED screen would be a steal.
Xiaomi’s Software Edge
Promises of HyperOS-based Android 14 include the removal of unnecessary performance-degrading applications, yielding a cleaner user experience, along with further customization—hypothetically better for customisers.
Gaming Credentials
Accompanying the processor with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 + vapor cooling combo could turn this into an affordable PUBG/BGMI gaming monster.
Red Flags: Where Poco Might Cut Corners
Plastic Build: Glossy back that is likely to be smudged and covered in fingerprints.
No Telephoto Lens: Having to depend on digital zoom in 2024? No thank you.
Average Selfie Camera: The 16MP front facing camera isn’t a great selling point, even for influencers.
Poco F7 vs The Competition
Realme 12 Pro: Packs a periscope lens, but comes with a lower tier chipset.
Redmi Note 13 Pro: Offers the same specs, but with MIUI bloat.
Moto Edge 50 Fusion: Better design and more expensive.
Launch Deadline & Cost Forecasts
The IMDA leak suggests devices will be available around June-July 2024. Speculation puts the cost between ₹23,999 to ₹27,999 with conferencia de la mujer being the likely offering from Xiaomi. If they hit the lower end, this phone could sell out immediately.
