The verdict, up front

The global flagship-killer.

POCO F7 brings a 6,500 mAh battery, IP68 and Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 to a globally-available $399 phone — the spec the iQOO Neo 10 series only offers in China. Against the F7 Ultra (full SD 8 Elite, smaller battery) it trades peak performance for battery and price.

What works

  • IP68 rare in the flagship-killer tier.
  • Global availability (vs iQOO).
  • 4 OS + 6-year security commitment.
What doesn't
  • Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is not the full 8 Elite.
  • Weak 8 MP ultrawide.
  • 215 g heavy.
  • Wi-Fi 6 only.
