The Redmi Turbo 4 Pro has officially launched in China, and smartphone enthusiasts in India have a solid reason to get excited. Why? Because this same device is expected to launch in India very soon under a different name — POCO F7. And if you’re someone looking for a powerful smartphone between ₹25,000–₹30,000, this could be the one worth waiting for.
Why Talk About a China Launch?
You might be wondering why we’re discussing a China-only release. Simple — phones launched in China often make their way to the Indian market within 1–2 months, usually with a rebrand. Knowing the specs and early impressions helps Indian buyers make informed decisions before purchasing a new smartphone.
POCO F7: What Makes It Special?
1. Monster Battery: 7550mAh
One of the biggest highlights of the upcoming POCO F7 is its massive 7550mAh battery, making it one of the largest in a mainstream smartphone. You can expect 1.5–2 days of heavy usage, and possibly up to 3 days on moderate use. It also supports:
- 90W Fast Charging
- 22.5W Reverse Wired Charging (charge other phones!)
2. Performance Powerhouse: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3
The POCO F7 will be among the first smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (4nm TSMC process) in India. Key performance features include:
- AnTuTu score: 2.1 Million+
- Up to 59 FPS on Genshin Impact at High Settings
- LPDDR5X RAM
- UFS 4.0/4.1 storage
Expect a 30–50% performance boost compared to its predecessor.
3. Stunning Display for Multimedia Lovers
The phone comes with a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, and it’s loaded with features:
- 120Hz refresh rate
- 12-bit color depth
- Up to 3200 nits peak brightness
- 1.9mm chin & 1.5mm side bezels
- ~94% screen-to-body ratio
Whether it’s gaming, binge-watching, or daily use, the display won’t disappoint.
4. Premium Build & Design
While slightly heavy at around 223g, the phone has a solid in-hand feel thanks to its metal frame. It resembles an iPhone in design, giving off a premium vibe despite the mid-range pricing.
Available in:
- White
- Black
- Green
5. Connectivity & Multimedia
It checks almost every box:
- Wi-Fi 7 & Bluetooth 5.4
- 12–13 5G bands
- Stereo speakers
- IR blaster & NFC
- IP68 & IP69 certifications
What About Cameras?
The POCO F7 is equipped with:
- Rear: 50MP (Main) + 8MP (Ultra-wide)
- Front: 20MP selfie camera
- 4K 60FPS video recording support
That said, camera performance is not the main focus here. POCO F-series devices have traditionally focused on performance and gaming, and this phone follows the same philosophy.
Software & Updates
Out of the box, the device runs on HyperOS 2.0, which is based on Android 15. The Indian version will likely come with confirmed update timelines, and we’ll update you when that happens.
Pricing Expectations in India
In China, the 12GB + 256GB variant is priced around ₹24,000 (converted). In India, expect:
- 8GB + 256GB base variant to launch around ₹25,000–₹28,000
- Likely undercutting the competition in terms of performance
Should You Wait for the POCO F7?
Absolutely yes — if you’re someone who:
- Plays games on high settings
- Wants great battery life
- Prioritizes a vibrant display
- Seeks future-ready connectivity features
- Has a budget of ₹25,000–₹30,000
One Last Thing – POCO’s Legacy
Some users have raised concerns in the past regarding motherboard issues with POCO devices. However, it’s worth noting that such problems are not unique to POCO — similar issues have been reported with devices from other brands like OnePlus too.
Final Verdict
The POCO F7 (Redmi Turbo 4 Pro in China) is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases in 2025 under ₹30K. With cutting-edge performance, a monster battery, and a top-notch display, it could easily dominate the mid-range segment.
