POCO F7

POCO F7 — what matters when choosing accessories

The POCO F7 is a smartphone with a flat 6.83-inch screen with 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. The body measures 163.1 × 77.9 × 8.2 mm and weighs 215.7 g, and the frame is aluminium. The phone is IP68 rated, has an in-display fingerprint reader and two rear lenses (50 and 8 MP). It charges over USB-C at up to 90 W.

The flat panel is good news if you prefer tempered glass — it adheres across the entire surface without the problems typical of curved screens. The in-display reader, on the other hand, needs protection that does not interfere with how it works.

POCO F7 cases — which to choose?

Accessories in this category are designed for the dimensions of the F7 and do not fit its siblings: the POCO F7 Pro and POCO F7 Ultra have a smaller 6.67-inch screen and a different camera layout, and the older POCO F6 has a different body.

Silicone and clear

Soft silicone cases grip well in the hand and slightly raise the lip around the screen. Clear and semi-clear cases with a coloured frame show off the pattern on the back of the phone. This is the lightest everyday protection.

Rugged and with holder

Rugged cases have reinforced corners and thicker walls — handy for physical work and outdoor activities. Some cases have a metal finger ring or a magnetic ring on the back that lets you use magnetic holders and accessories. The POCO F7 itself has no magnets, so the case provides the mount.

Flip cases

Flip cases also cover the screen when the phone is in a bag, and usually have a card pocket inside.

Tempered glass, films and camera protection for POCO F7

• Tempered glass — rigid protection against scratches and cracks; versions with a black frame mask the edges.
• Hybrid glass — thinner and flexible, less prone to chipping at the edges.
• Hydrogel and ceramic films — flexible, conform well to the edges of the screen.
• Matte and privacy films — reduce glare or narrow the viewing angle, so the person next to you on the tram cannot see your screen.
• Camera glass and back film — protect the lenses and the back of the phone from scratches.

What to look out for when choosing POCO F7 accessories?

• Case compatibility — the glass and case should work together; glass that is too wide may lift under the lip of the case.
• In-display reader — after fitting protection, it is worth registering your fingerprint again.
• Charging — for fast charging, a powerful wall charger with a USB-C output will come in handy.

Accessories for other models in the series are in the POCO F Series category.

Frequently asked questions

Does a POCO F7 Pro case fit the POCO F7?

No. The F7 is larger and has a different camera island, so it needs a case made for this model.

Is the POCO F7 waterproof?

The manufacturer states an IP68 rating. A case and glass do not change this rating, but they protect the phone from damage that could weaken its sealing.
