An “Ultra” smartphone for around 500 euros? What sounds like a marketing promise turns out to be a serious challenge to the upper class. The Poco F7 Ultra not only surprises with strong performance and long battery life but also with a build quality usually expected in much more expensive models.
The Poco F7 Ultra made waves in the COMPUTER BILD test. Priced at about 500 euros, the smartphone impresses with speed, endurance, and performance, competing with the industry’s top devices. The design is particularly outstanding, featuring a matte aluminum frame and a rounded glass back for a pleasant feel.
Matte Back and Elegant Look
The Poco F7 Ultra’s casing consists of a matte aluminum frame and a satin glass back, rounded on all four edges. This results in no noticeable edges between the display and frame, making the smartphone comfortable to hold.
The copper-colored ring around the camera module on the black model and the yellow ring on the yellow model add visual highlights. Additionally, the matte back is largely resistant to fingerprints, with only the area around the camera being glossy.

Water and Dust Protection
The Poco F7 Ultra is protected against water and dust according to the IP68 standard. The display is also optimized for use in the rain. These features offer an advantage over other smartphones, which often become less functional when wet.
Compared to other devices that quickly tip over on a table, the Poco F7 Ultra remains stable unless you tap in the upper left quadrant. This is another plus for the design.
Test Results and Conclusion
Overall, the Poco F7 Ultra receives a test score of 1.3. The successful design, combined with display quality, performance, and endurance, justifies the “Ultra” name. Only the camera could be improved compared to other top models.
Overall, the Poco F7 Ultra shows no tactile weaknesses, even surpassing more expensive models like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which was less convincing with its sharp edges.
