The tech world is buzzing as Poco unveils its latest F7 series, just in time for Amazon's spring shopping event. While these devices arrive with impressive specs, they also face fierce competition from brands like Samsung, Google, and Vivo.

Poco F7 Ultra Features

Diving into the Poco F7 Ultra, priced at €700, it boasts top-tier performance powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a robust 5,300mAh battery that supports a lightning-fast 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. This device holds an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, and features a stunning 6.67” Poco Shield Glass display—a vibrant 120Hz panel with 1440p+ resolution that delivers 12-bit colors, Dolby Vision support, and reaches a staggering 3,200 nits peak brightness.

The camera system does not fall short either, featuring a sophisticated setup that comprises a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP 2.5x telephoto lens for impressive zoom and macro capabilities, and a 32MP ultra-wide camera, alongside a 32MP selfie camera for high-quality self-portraits.

Competition Heats Up

But the competition is heating up! The Realme GT 7 Pro, one of the first smartphones equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite in Europe, has entered the ring. Priced €50 more than the F7 Ultra, it features a larger LTPO display measuring 6.78” with an impressive 1264p+ resolution. Additionally, its 6,500mAh battery shines with a rapid 120W wired-only charging capability.

While the camera specs are formidable with a comparable 50MP sensor and a 50MP 3x telephoto module, it has fewer pixels for its ultra-wide (8MP) and selfie cameras (16MP), making the Poco F7 Ultra's camera system more appealing for photography enthusiasts.

More Rival Devices

Next, we have the OnePlus 13, which carries a slightly heftier price tag but mirrors the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and features a sizable 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Its 6.82” LTPO display, with a 1440p+ resolution, is equally enticing, while the camera setup includes a highly capable 50MP main lens, a further advanced 50MP 3x periscope lens, and another 32MP for selfies.

Interestingly, the Poco F7 Pro is positioned as a budget-friendly alternative, €230 less than its Ultra counterpart. Though it houses last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, it remains impressively fast and retains the same gorgeous display (with slightly different protective glass). The trade-offs include a downgrade to an 8MP ultra-wide camera, yet it does boast a larger 6,000mAh battery with 90W wired charging.

For those not ready to splurge on the F7 series, the Poco F6 stands strong at €170 less than the F7 Pro. Running on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, it still provides solid performance along with a similar display and good battery life.

Other Notable Mentions

In the broader landscape, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is making waves as a premier Android device, but it runs the risk of being overshadowed by formidable opponents. The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is an attractive alternative priced about €220 less for those prioritizing storage without sacrificing camera quality.

The Vivo X200 Pro also deserves a mention with its remarkable 50MP main and 200MP 3.7x telephoto camera system, offering incredible photography options at a more competitive price than its contemporaries.
