The Xiaomi Poco F7 is getting closer to its global debut, with industry insiders pointing to a launch by the end of May 2025. The phone, already highly anticipated among fans, is tipped to come with some differences between the Indian and global versions-most notably in battery size.
According to recent leaks, the global Poco F7 will feature a 6,500 mAh battery, while the Indian (and likely Chinese) version will sport a much larger 7,550 mAh battery. Both versions are expected to support 90W fast charging, ensuring quick top-ups despite the difference in capacity. This move follows a recent trend by Xiaomi, where global versions of their phones receive slightly smaller batteries than their Indian counterparts.
The Poco F7 is rumoured to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which launched in China with impressive specs like the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a 6.83-inch OLED display, and up to 16GB RAM. While full details for the global model are yet to be confirmed, expectations are high for similar performance and features.
For Indian buyers, the Poco F7 is expected to arrive with the Snapdragon 8s Elite chipset and could launch as soon as May or June 2025. The phone will succeed the popular Poco F6, which was praised for its value and performance.
This difference in battery capacity could impact users who prioritise longer battery life, especially in regions where a larger battery won’t be available. However, the 90W fast charging and powerful specs are likely to keep the Poco F7 competitive in the mid-premium smartphone market.
Stay tuned for official launch details and pricing as Xiaomi prepares to unveil the Poco F7 to global audiences.
