Xiaomi Poco F7 has cleared yet another regulatory hurdle, appearing on Thailand’s NBTC certification site. The listing confirms once again that it’s headed for the global market. While it was initially expected to launch in late May, the timeline seems to have shifted, with a release likely happening next month instead.
The Poco F7 has been assigned the model number “25053PC47G.” The letter “G” at the end indicates that the device will be making a global debut soon. Thailand’s regulatory body NBTC has green-lit the Poco F7 for launch in the region. Now, we wait for the company to make an official announcement.
There are no official details to be found on the web, though leakers have been relentlessly following the Poco F7 throughout its development phase. Apparently, this device is a rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro that’s exclusively available in China.
Xiaomi often passes on the Redmi Turbo models to the global markets as rebranded Poco devices. If the latest Poco Xiaomi mobile is indeed the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro with the nameplate switched out, we might be looking at a near-flagship device with a powerful SoC and a massive battery.
Poco F7 might show up on the global stage with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, 12GB or 16GB RAM, and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The display is also set to impress, as it claims to have an HDR brightness of 3200 nits. This will be an AMOLED 6.83” screen with 1.5k resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The camera here is not as over-the-top as the Poco F7 Pro or Ultra, but it is serviceable, giving you a 50 MP sensor for the primary lens and an 8 MP ultrawide shooter. The selfie camera will probably be a 20 MP sensor hidden inside a punch-hole cutout.
Redmi Turbo 4 Pro has a behemoth 7550mAh cell (rechargeable at 90W), but the regulatory restrictions might cause the battery to shrink on the international Poco F7 variant. We’ll soon know how closely the Poco F7 follows the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro’s specifications. The phone is expected to launch in June, so stay tuned for pricing and availability details in the following month.
