The Poco F6 Pro was recently launched in India, and rumors about its successor, the Poco F7 Pro, have already surfaced. The upcoming device has reportedly been spotted on the IMEI database, hinting at its imminent global debut.
Gizmochina was the first to identify the device on the IMEI listing, with the model number 24122RKC7G. This discovery has fueled speculation about the phone’s features and release timeline.
The Poco F7 Pro is anticipated to launch initially in China as the Redmi K80, according to the model number 24122RKC7C found in the IMEI database. The 'C' in the model number indicates its China debut, while '2412' suggests a possible launch date in December 2024.
This timing aligns with the company’s pattern of releasing new devices towards the end of the year. The previous generation saw a similar scenario with the Poco F6 Pro, which was released as the Redmi K70 in late 2023.
The Poco F7 Pro is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, following the trend of its predecessor, the Poco F6 Pro, which featured the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
This latest chipset promises enhanced performance and efficiency. Additionally, the Poco F7 Pro is rumored to come with a substantial 6,000mAh battery. This increase in battery capacity is in line with recent leaks suggesting that 2025 devices may include larger batteries for extended usage.
The upcoming Poco F7 Pro is likely to sport an OLED panel with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, maintaining the display quality of its predecessor. These features are expected to provide a smooth and vibrant visual experience.
Furthermore, there are rumors about a potential Redmi K80 Pro version launching in China alongside the Poco F7 Pro. The Pro version might feature the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC and could include additional enhancements such as a 2K display, 120Hz refresh rate, 120W fast charging, and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding the Poco F7 Pro’s global launch or its exact release date. The company has not yet acknowledged the existence of the smartphone.
If the launch is planned for the near future, further details are expected to emerge through leaks or official announcements. The anticipation surrounding the Poco F7 Pro continues to grow as more information becomes available.
