The POCO F7 series has been generating buzz for quite some time, and recent developments suggest that the launch could be just around the corner. The lineup is expected to include three models: the vanilla POCO F7, POCO F7 Pro, and the high-end POCO F7 Ultra. With multiple certifications already secured, the POCO F7 Ultra has now appeared on Geekbench AI, reinforcing speculation that an official unveiling is imminent.
POCO F7 Ultra Appears on Geekbench AI
A mysterious POCO device carrying the model number 24122RKC7G has been spotted on Geekbench AI, as first reported by Xpertpick. The ‘G’ at the end of the model number strongly indicates that this is the global variant of the POCO F7 Ultra.
Interestingly, the same model number was previously listed on both FCC and Indonesia’s SDPPI certification databases, with the SDPPI listing confirming its official marketing name as “POCO F7 Ultra.” This further supports the theory that the phone is nearing its global release.
Key Performance Details from Geekbench AI
The Geekbench AI listing provides insights into the chipset and hardware of the POCO F7 Ultra:
- The motherboard section lists ‘sun’ as the codename.
- The CPU includes two high-performance cores clocked at 4.32GHz and six cores at 3.50GHz.
- The source code references the Adreno 830 GPU, strongly indicating that the device is powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC.
- The tested variant features 16GB of RAM (14.76GB usable).
- The device runs on Android 15 OS, aligning with earlier FCC certification leaks that mentioned HyperOS 2.0.
POCO F7 Ultra: What We Know So Far
According to reports, the POCO F7 Ultra is expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi K80 Pro, which launched in China in November 2024. If this is the case, the POCO F7 Ultra could inherit flagship-level hardware and features, making it a powerful contender in the global premium smartphone segment.

POCO F7 Ultra Pricing & Availability
The Redmi K80 Pro debuted in China at a starting price of CNY 3,699 (approximately ₹44,500). Given POCO’s pricing strategy, the POCO F7 Ultra could be priced competitively in global markets, potentially undercutting other flagship devices.
However, a recent leak suggests that the POCO F7 Ultra might not launch in India. If this turns out to be true, the device will likely remain exclusive to global markets, much like how the POCO F6 Pro was never launched in India.
