The POCO F7 not only takes on the likes of iQOO Neo 10 and Moto Edge 60 Pro in a highly competitive mid-range smartphone market but also beats them in most areas. Independent testing by Digit Test Labs in Noida shows that the POCO F7 has the longest-lasting battery in the segment, delivering unprecedented runtime. But that’s not all — the F7’s top-tier performance and superior thermal management leave even the most ambitious competitors trailing.
Outclassing its rivals in both battery life and performance, the POCO F7 has proven itself as the ultimate segment leader. Here’s how the POCO F7 sets new benchmarks, leaving the Neo 10 and Edge 60 Pro in the dust.
If there’s one metric that truly matters to gamers, content creators, and binge-watchers alike, it’s battery life. The POCO F7, equipped with a massive 7550 mAh battery, outperformed its segment peers – the Moto Edge 60 Pro and iQOO Neo 10 – in a standardised battery drain test. While its rivals tapped out at 6 hours 45 minutes and 7 hours 26 minutes respectively, the F7 powered on for an impressive 7 hours 48 minutes.
The test included high-intensity tasks like continuous benchmarking (AnTuTu, Geekbench, PCMark, 3DMark, GFXBench), extended BGMI sessions, Instagram Reels, 4K video recording, and a YouTube final run at full brightness and resolution. Despite these power-hungry workloads, the POCO F7 remained cool and consistent, thanks to what appears to be a mature power management system and a thermally efficient SoC design. The battery is also supported by 90W fast charging, which helps with quick top-ups when needed.
Battery aside, the F7’s performance metrics tell a compelling story. Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, the device delivered a stunning AnTuTu score of 2,06,610, leading the pack. Even in intensive GPU-centric benchmarks like 3DMark Wild Life, the F7 scored 4154, comfortably ahead of its peers.
These numbers are backed by high-end internals, including LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, both typically found in premium flagship devices. Whether you’re multitasking between heavy apps or launching games with hefty asset loads, the F7 handles it effortlessly.
What further sets the POCO F7 apart is how it sustains this performance, thanks to the new IceLoop cooling system with a 6000 mm² VC. After two hours of continuous gaming, it maintained an average temperature of 35.53°C, cooler than the iQOO Neo 10 and Moto Edge 60 Pro, indicating refined thermal engineering.
Our results also underscore the F7’s in-game finesse, which results in a smooth, jitter-free experience even under prolonged load. There was minimal thermal throttling, high FPS stability, and no hiccups in smoothness even after long gaming sessions. Whether you’re deep in a BGMI face-off or recording high-res video on the go, the POCO F7 delivers peak power without compromise.
While the performance and battery stats dominate headlines, the POCO F7 doesn’t skimp on other essentials. It boasts a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 3200 nits, and HDR10+ support, delivering vibrant visuals ideal for gaming, streaming, and everyday use. Dual stereo speakers enhanced with Dolby Atmos provide immersive audio, while high-end connectivity features like 5G support, Wi-Fi 7, and an in-display fingerprint sensor round out a complete package for power users.
True to its legacy, the POCO F7 is a clear statement. In the ₹25K–₹30K bracket, it offers best-in-segment battery life, superior gaming credentials, and efficient thermals. Where many devices in this price range usually require users to choose between power and endurance, the F7 dares to offer both.
And it wraps all that capability in a body that’s as premium as it is practical. With a refined glass back seamlessly joined to a metallic mid-frame, the POCO F7 feels every bit as solid as it performs. It’s TÜV-certified to withstand pressures of up to 60 kg, yet remains impressively slim at just 7.99 mm. The bold camera deco adds a signature flair, while Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection on both sides and an IP69 rating ensure durability against dust, water, and life’s daily mishaps.
