Xiaomi POCO F7 Ultra
What does Jen say about the Xiaomi POCO F7 Ultra?
The POCO F7 Ultra offers a top processor, a big battery, fast charging and a good everyday camera at a price far below typical flagships. There is criticism of the update policy. The impression is based on only a few days of testing in Singapore.
Pros
- Snapdragon 8 Elite with Vision Booster and cooling system
- Battery with 5,300 mAh, 120 watts wired and 50 watts wireless
- 6.67-inch 2K AMOLED with 120 Hz and 3,200 nits
- Good everyday camera, ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, only 212 g
- Price from €749 RRP
Cons
- Only 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security updates
- Security updates from Xiaomi and its subsidiaries sometimes come very late
- Camera can't keep up with the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and its Leica camera
- Round camera module looks lost on the side to Jen and makes the device wobble on the table
