  • POCO has just launched the POCO F7 Ultra, its first Ultra smartphone.
  • The phone has premium extras, such as a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, an IP68 rating, wireless charging, and a telephoto camera.
  • Expect to pay a recommended starting price of $649, but an early bird offer means you can get it for $599.

POCO isn’t typically known for flagship phones, as its best devices are typically upper-mid-range releases. However, the brand has just revealed the POCO F7 series, including its first Ultra phone.

The POCO F7 Ultra is a mostly rebranded version of the China-only Redmi K80 Pro. However, you can also think of it as a larger Xiaomi 15, bringing plenty of flagship-tier features to the table.
