The much-anticipated Poco F7 is gearing up for a global debut, with several certification leaks suggesting an imminent launch — possibly in India. The device was recently spotted on the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website, fueling speculation that Poco’s next big mid-premium offering will soon break cover.
Global Certification Confirms Launch Readiness
According to a report by XpertPick, the Poco F7 appeared on the FCC under model number 25053PC47G, with the ‘G’ indicating a global version. The listing confirms key connectivity features such as multiple 5G band support, Wi-Fi 802.11ax/be, Bluetooth, and NFC — essential for a premium user experience across global markets.
The same model number has also surfaced on the IMDA website, and a variant with the model number 25053PC47I was recently spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website. These parallel listings strongly indicate that India will be among the first markets to receive the new smartphone.
Design and Software
Certification screenshots suggest that the Poco F7 will sport a hole-punch display, staying consistent with modern design language. On the software front, the phone is expected to ship with HyperOS 2.0, based on Android 15 — potentially making it one of the first Poco phones to debut with the latest Android version out of the box.
Expected Specifications: Rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro?
If rumors hold true, the Poco F7 will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, launched in China last month. If so, here’s what we might see:
- Display: 6.83-inch OLED, 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate
- Processor: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
- Battery: Massive 7,550mAh with 90W fast charging
- Camera: Dual rear setup, likely featuring a 50MP primary sensor
- OS: HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15
These specs would position the Poco F7 as a powerful contender in the upper mid-range segment, ideal for gamers and power users.
Price Expectations and Launch Timeline
There is no official launch date yet, but the frequency of certifications — including from FCC, IMDA, and BIS — suggest the launch could take place within the coming weeks.
To recall, the Poco F6 was launched in May 2024, with pricing starting at ₹29,999 for the 8GB RAM + 256GB variant. Higher-end models were priced at ₹31,999 and ₹33,999. Given the rumored specs of the F7, it’s likely that pricing may start in a similar range or slightly higher.
