Xiaomi has repeated its magic formula: "Ferrari engine in a Sedan body." The Poco F7 Pro, powered by the mighty Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (or the optimized 8s Gen 3 variant), a stunning 2K OLED display, and blistering 120W charging, is here to humiliate the Galaxy S24 and iPhone 16 in raw benchmarks—at half the price. But is it all about speed? In this exclusive Tekin Plus review, we put the cameras, build quality, and thermal performance of this beast under the microscope to see if it's the best value phone of 2025.
1. Introduction: The Return of the Budget King 1.1. The F-Series Philosophy: Pure Speed The Poco F-series has always sent a clear message: "We don't care about telescopic cameras or titanium bodies; we

boxes under the guise of environmentalism, Poco remains generous. Inside the large black and yellow box, alongside the phone, you find a thick 6A cable, a high-quality silicone case, and most importantly,
a 120W GaN Adapter . This charger alone is worth around $50 in the accessory market. 2. Design & Build Quality: The Achilles Heel? 2.1. Glass or Plastic? With the F7 Pro, Poco has attempted to offer a
more luxurious feel. The back panel is now made of matte glass, which resists fingerprints and feels cold and premium to the touch. However, the frame remains the cost-cutting victim. It is made of compressed
polycarbonate (high-quality plastic) rather than aluminum. While sturdy, it lacks the cold metal touch of an iPhone. The rectangular camera module on the back has grown larger, embracing a rugged, industrial
