Does it have aptx lossless? Why are you still not testing which codecs are present in a phone without a jack?

    Same battery life as my s23+ with 4700mAh, what a poor optimization..

      Anonymous, 29 Mar 2025Why not pixel 9a as an alternative - wireless charging ... moreI think both of those are not an option for me - Xiaomi really really messed up with hyper os and cooling on Poco F7 series. Battery life is a disaster, compared to similar devices, performance -lower.

      Pixels are just Google spyware. I can't swallow pure naked Android. For me that's counter productive in any way, lacking important features and options (because of that we have oneui, hyper os,etc..)

      Nothing phone was my hope, but it ended up taking worst from all vendors and releasing a box with those drawbacks :(

      I'd say currently for me the only options are:
      -Poco X7 Pro
      -Galaxy S line..
      Nothing in between :(

          Why not pixel 9a as an alternative

          - wireless charging
          - longer software support with day-one updates
          - better ultrawide and selfie cameras, and main camera photos are probably also preferred by most people
          - USB 3.2
          - barometer

          at the cost of

          - no glass back
          - worse chip (in terms of multicore, GPU and efficiency)
          - lower display res (though 1440p is overkill, 1200-1280p is still perfect)
          - slower charging
          - no ultrasonic fingerprint reader
          - slightly newer Wifi/Bluetooth

          I think each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and I‘d personally prefer the 9a, also because of the form factor. And I‘m sure I‘m not alone with that.

            Xiaomi had a dedicated section on their website that talks about Eye-Care innovations. (High PWM Flickering rate, “Circularly Polarized light” & blue light reduction)

            Dear GSM Arena, it would be great if you include the PWM frequency on specs pages, or maybe start to include the different TUV certifications given to smartphones..

              Thanks! Bought the 512GB Blue variant after your review, finally upgrading my Poco F2 Pro after almost 5 years! :D

                Hikari, 28 Mar 2025Looks like good battery life to me.For 6000 mAh,I don't think so

                  Photos are quite likeable which proves that ISPs matter more than the sensors.

                      I actually think that the main competition for this phone may be the Poco X7 Pro.

                      Both are better value than the Ultra though in my opinion.

                        PorkataUK, 28 Mar 2025A56 and Nothing 3a pro as an alternative? Definitely not. A56 pretty much only wins on availability, whereas poco need importing. Yeah otherwise poco wipes the floor.

                        Nothing I feel is like those old Smartisan phones from China lots of PR but no sales. The fact that nothing's last flagship was in 2023 tell you all you need to know of where the company is.... That is.... Nowhere.

                          i would buy it if it tow things
                          1. instead of hyperos for poco, it had pure hyperos. xiaomi android ui already has enough bloatware and poco added more
                          2. more android and security updates.
                          3. battery life. xiaomi phones aren't that greate in terms of battery life when compare the to oneplus, apple, samsung and iqoo.
                          im gonna buy oneplus12 or 13r instead

                              Lister, 28 Mar 2025How is the battery life so bad They release so many phones that they dont bother optimizing them for their hardware used.

                                Lister, 28 Mar 2025How is the battery life so bad beacuse it's xiaomi
                                since HyperOS was introduced and the battery life is average or below average (except xiaomi flagship series)

                                  How is the battery life so bad

                                    I like this quite a lot more than the Ultra model to be honest. Vanilla F7 is shaping up to be good if it manages to have similar battery life to these two upper models.

                                      So camera and performance wise considering the price, better to buy f7 pro than f7 ultra

                                        tbh i thought the battery life would be worse, but ok
