Video Description
Reviewing Xiaomi's Poco F7 Ultra, a step up vs the Pro with a triple lens camera setup and Snapdragon 8 Elite gaming performance. If you want a flagship phone on a tighter budget, the Poco F7 Ultra is a Xiaomi 15 Ultra alternative with some downgrades to lower the price. Alternatives at this cost include OPPO's Reno 13 Pro 5G (see review next week!), the Nothing Phone 2 and Apple's iPhone 16e. But seriously, don't buy that. It's arse juice. The Poco F7 Ultra is a powerhouse with that 8 Elite chipset, so gamers will enjoy a smooth frame rate at all times. Battery life is also excellent, even if the capacity isn't a match for the Redmi K80 Pro. With 120W fast charge on board, this phone powers back up in a crazy short time. As for the camera tech, well, the Poco F7 Ultra has made some sacrifices there vs proper 'Ultra' smartphones. The zoom lens isn't as capable, while you can't shoot 4K video with the selfie camera. Still, most people should be happy enough with the Poco F7 Ultra's skills. So that's what I think of this affordable flagship. Let us know your own verdict below!
