Midrange
EDITORIAL: F7 marks a big change in Poco's direction - the phone grew significantly in size (now 3mm wider), battery and screen. Numbers doubled for PWM dimming frequency, improved for screen brightness, jumped 25% in compound performance tests. Imaging remained the same: a capable but very limited 2 lens setup in the back and a sans-AF selfie. The build is better (but heavier: 180g to 215g) with a IP68 and a aluminum frame instead of plastic.
PROs
better physical build, very good SD 8s Gen 4 with UFS 4.1 performance, >30hr endurance from a 6500mAh battery (7500mAh in India) with sub-60min fast 90W charging, >1500nits bright 450ppi AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP68 protection, stabile and feature rich HyperOS with a 4 year update promise
CONs
almost 80mm wide, afterthought imaging with an okay 50MP 26mm OIS PDAF main + unpredictable 8MP 15mm ultrawide, average 20MP 21mm sans-AF selfie, unreliable video recording, no expandable memory slot or desktop replacement functionality, slow USB-C 2.0 port (tho has OTG)
ZTE Nubia Z70S Ultra
77.1mm (3.04in) · Apr 28, 2025 · Rank #187

EDITORIAL: ZTE Nubia has always marched to it's own drum. Best known for it's beautiful selfie-notch-less screens, Nubia delivers another unique phone with a glass back that looks and feels like leather, tiny screen bazels, 144Hz bright screen but it's ambition is in the imaging department that brings a triple lens including a 35mm main and a two-stage camera shutter as well. There is another hardware button that can be asigned to different purposes.
PROs
original and unique, fast SD 8 Elite with UFS 4.0 performance, sub-50min 80W charging, >1400nits bright 430ppi 144Hz AMOLED screen, IP69 protection, excellent pics from 50MP 35mm OIS PDAF main + 64MP 70mm OIS PDAF telephoto + 50MP 13mm PDAF ultrawide back cameras, the under-display 16MP 24mm selfie is finally taking some nice pics, fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG
CONs
can get very hot under heavy load, only 24hr endurance from a relatively large 6600mAh Si-C battery, no Dolby Vision or HDR10+, camera software could be more intuitive, average video recording quality, no SD memory expansion, short OS update policy, no desktop replacement functionality or Video out
