Poco launched the F7 back in June, after having released the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra first, a few months prior. Now, the ‘vanilla’ model is receiving a new software update in India, which promises to fix a bunch of camera-related issues.
The official changelog promises that, once you have installed the new software, you’ll see “more natural skin tones and facial details”, with “improved facial contrast and accurate brightness in portraits”, crisper images overall with “better detail retention across lighting conditions”, “superior HDR control” with balanced highlights in bright areas and reduced overexposures, as well as “greens and landscapes” appearing “more real and accurate”.
Poco promises that thermal management has been improved too, and the update also includes the June 2025 Android security patch, which is obviously two months old at this point and Poco really should do better in this regard.

But wait, there’s more. Poco has promised another update for the end of this month, which will further improve things all-round for the F7. We’ll let you know when that one drops. In the meantime, today’s update identifies as OS2.0.102.0 and is supposedly based on feedback collected from Poco F7 owners and the broader Poco community.
