While the Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra have already made their official debut this year, one member of the flagship trio is still missing — the standard Poco F7. That may not be the case for much longer. The phone has just received IMDA certification in Singapore, suggesting that its global launch is just around the corner.
Certification and Model Numbers
The Poco F7 has appeared on the IMDA database under the model number 25053PC47G for global markets and 25053PC47I for the Indian market. These identifiers hint at a wide rollout, which is in line with Poco’s usual strategy of releasing its core devices across multiple regions.
Interestingly, the model numbers align closely with the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro — launched in China last week with the model number 25053RT47C. The numerical pattern is a match, with only the brand-specific suffixes differentiating them. This strongly suggests that the Poco F7 will be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro tailored for global audiences, a common strategy for Xiaomi’s sub-brands.
Expected Specifications
Assuming the F7 is indeed a global version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, here’s what we can expect:
- Display: 6.83-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1280 x 2772 pixels, 120Hz refresh rate, and a staggering 3,200 nits of peak brightness
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, the latest premium-tier chip offering flagship performance at a slightly lower cost
- RAM & Storage: Options of 12GB and 16GB RAM paired with 256GB, 512GB, or even 1TB of storage
- Main Camera: 50MP primary sensor with OIS for stable shots
- Secondary Cameras: 8MP ultra-wide and a 20MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls
- Battery: 7,550mAh battery with 90W wired fast charging
One word of caution — there’s a possibility that the global variant may see a reduced battery capacity. This has been a recurring trend with Chinese brands when adapting devices for international markets, often due to regional certification constraints or weight considerations.
Design and Software
Design-wise, the F7 should mirror the Turbo 4 Pro, with a sleek rear panel, minimal camera bump, and a front design dominated by the massive AMOLED display. As for software, it’s expected to run MIUI for Poco, based on Android 14, featuring the same blend of Poco UI customisations and Xiaomi’s core software enhancements.
What It Means for the Market
With its high-end specs, the Poco F7 will likely slot in just below the F7 Pro in terms of price, offering a value-driven option for users who want flagship performance without going all-out. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 makes it especially appealing for gamers and power users looking for strong performance in the sub-premium category.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the expected specs:
| Feature | Poco F7 (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.83″ AMOLED, 120Hz, 3,200 nits |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 |
| RAM | 12GB / 16GB |
| Storage | 256GB / 512GB / 1TB |
| Main Camera | 50MP with OIS |

With the IMDA certification in place and strong evidence pointing toward it being a rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, the Poco F7 seems ready for an official reveal this May. Whether it arrives with its massive battery intact or sees some tweaks for global markets remains to be seen — but it’s shaping up to be one of the most compelling mid-to-flagship devices of 2025.
