Frequently asked questions

How long will the Poco F7 Pro get updates?

Xiaomi promises four major Android upgrades (through Android 19) and six years of security patches, putting end of support around March 2031.

Does the Poco F7 Pro have a telephoto camera?

No. It pairs a 50MP main sensor with only an 8MP ultra-wide, so optical zoom is not available; the Pro relies on digital crop for zoomed shots.

Is the Poco F7 Pro waterproof?

It carries an IP68 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and can survive immersion in fresh water, though water damage is generally not covered by warranty.
