Both devices feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite processor at 4.32GHz. Both devices offer silky-smooth gaming and multitasking with the processor and 12GB RAM. Xiaomi 15 does have 512GB inbuilt storage as opposed to 256GB in Poco F7 Ultra, and is a preferable choice if you require more space for your apps, games, and videos. No one likes expandable storage, so the storage capacity is a differentiator here.
Poco F7 Ultra features a bigger 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 1440 x 3200 pixels and 526 ppi density. It features HDR10+, Dolby Vision support, and 3200 nits peak brightness, offering vibrant visuals even in outdoor sunlight. Xiaomi 15 features a 6.36-inch OLED screen with 1200 x 2670 pixels and 460 ppi density. It also offers HDR formats, Dolby Vision, and superior eye comfort certifications, but its dimensions can be too small for those who want big screens.
Battery life is another point of divergence. Poco F7 Ultra carries a 5300mAh cell, 120W wired charging, and 50W wireless charging for speedier top-ups. Xiaomi 15 comes with a lesser 5240mAh battery and 90W wired, 50W wireless charging. Although both offer excellent longevity, Poco's quicker wired charging gives it the edge for heavy usage.
Both phones sport triple 50MP cameras with OIS support and 32MP front shooters. The distinction lies in the sensors Poco F7 Ultra uses, Light Fusion 800, while Xiaomi 15 upgrades to Light Fusion 900. For video, Poco handles 8K at 24fps, whereas Xiaomi manages 8K at 30fps, which could mean smoother footage. Selfies remain almost identical, but Xiaomi's improved sensor might deliver sharper details.
Poco F7 Ultra will be priced at ₹54,990, making it the least expensive one. Xiaomi 15, which is available now, is priced around ₹64,997, which is nearly ₹10,000 more. Value shoppers are better off with Poco, while Xiaomi is for those who need a bit more refinement with more storage and somewhat improved camera hardware.
