With a starting price of Php 36,999–and as low as Php 35k if you avail of the early bird promo–the POCO F7 Ultra is the most affordable phone in the Philippines to rock the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

You get an additional VisionBoost D7 chip to maximize its 6.6-inch 120Hz pOLED display that has a class-leading 2K resolution, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, an IP68 rating with an aluminum frame, a 5300mAh battery with 120W charging, and an improved camera setup.
Aside from the 50-megapixel Light Fusion 800 carried over from its predecessor, you also get an upgraded 32-megapixel ultrawide camera and (finally) a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 2.5x optical zoom and OIS. This makes the F7 Ultra the first POCO phone to have no filler cameras. ‘
