Leaked Image Reveals POCO F7’s Bold Rear Design — And It’s Clearly Built for Gamers

POCO’s next “budget flagship” is inching closer to launch — but the internet may have just jumped the gun. A freshly leaked image gives us a first glimpse at the POCO F7, and its aggressive rear design isn’t exactly subtle. The image, posted by reliable tipster Abhishek Yadav on X (you might still know it as Twitter), hints at more than just updated hardware. The F7’s back panel sports an angular layout, an oval-shaped dual camera housing, and what appears to be a transparent window exposing the Snapdragon chip beneath. It’s a look that leans heavily into gaming territory — unapologetically so.

A Design That Speaks to Gamers

According to the leaked image, the rear of the POCO F7 doesn’t just whisper “performance”—it shouts it. Between the geometric lines and a probable peek at its internals, this isn’t your standard budget phone look. The “50MP OIS” branding near the camera module confirms optical image stabilization, likely for the main shooter.

The overall layout bears a strong resemblance to Xiaomi’s Redmi Turbo 4 Pro — and that’s no coincidence. Rumor has it, the F7 is essentially a rebranded version of that device. So if the leaks hold true, we already have a decent idea of what’s under the hood.

Under the Hood: Snapdragon Power Without the Flagship Price

Performance-wise, the F7 won’t disappoint. It’s expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset — a slightly stripped-down version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but still more than capable of handling high-intensity gaming sessions. Expect plenty of power without the eye-watering price tag typically tied to top-tier silicon.

Someone shared this with me yesterday and claimed that this is the upcoming Poco F7.

What Else to Expect

POCO hasn’t confirmed anything just yet, but industry whispers suggest a global announcement between June 17 and 19 — with India being one of the key launch markets. Up front, the F7 could feature a 6.83-inch flat LTPS OLED display boasting a 1.5K resolution and a silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. On the software side, it’s likely to ship with Android 15 skinned with POCO’s HyperOS 2.0.

And that’s not all. The leaked specs hint at some serious durability: an IP68 or IP69 rating for water and dust protection, an infrared blaster, and a beefy 6,550mAh battery capable of 90W wired fast charging. That’s a serious spec sheet, especially for a phone that’s supposed to stay within reach for most buyers.
