Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra 256GB gelb

Kein Flagship-Killer. Das Poco F7 Ultra stellt das Spitzenprodukt des Jahres 2025 der Xiaomi-Tochter dar und überzeugt mit einem leistungsstarken Gesamtpaket, einer vielseitigen Kamera und offeriert auch einige KI-Funktionen. Damit reicht es zwar nicht zum proklamierten Flagship-Killer, aber dennoch zu einem richtig guten Smartphone.

A fantastic performance-focused smartphone at a mid-range price, though it still falls short of true flagship performance in key areas.

The Poco F7 Ultra is crammed with value. Its design feels solid, its screen is very good, it packs near-gaming phone levels of power, and the camera is more versatile than established competition like Samsung's Galaxy S25 and the Google Pixel 7, thanks to a telephoto with telemacro focus. There are caveats – no eSIM, no RAW capture, and some heavy-handed photo processing – but even accounting for drawbacks, the F7 Ultra delivers a huge amount while undercutting alternatives.

POCO always knew how to make phones with great hardware, but its devices didn't have the best cameras. It's changing that with the F7 Ultra; the phone is an all-rounder that delivers the latest Qualcomm silicon, a sizable battery, vibrant OLED with 120Hz refresh, and IP68 ingress protection. But where it stands out against its predecessors is the cameras; POCO finally outfitted high-quality auxiliary lenses in addition to a great main camera, and the phone takes much better photos as a result. It still doesn't quite measure up to the best Chinese phones in this regard, but considering what you pay for the phone, the F7 Ultra is the ultimate value-focused flagship of 2025.

Poco’s greatest is a fine sub-flagship. There are some compromises of course – but you can’t expect anything more at this price.
