Oh, absolutely! This is exactly the kind of juicy tech news we live for! The buzz around Poco’s new F8 series is truly turning into a roller coaster of excitement.
Look, all the little whispers surrounding the F8 series are no longer just whispers—we have most of the crucial data right in front of us! Honestly, the way these specifications for the F8 Ultra and F8 Pro models are leaking out of the benchmark databases, it’s clear that Poco is gearing up to deliver a massive punch in terms of performance. There’s no doubt that Qualcomm’s powerful new chipsets are the key to their strength.
We spotted the Poco F8 Ultra on Geekbench just yesterday, remember? When a prototype ran that test, it immediately confirmed that the flagship phone will be powered by the brand-new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. I mean, just imagine the raw performance! And today’s news is that the slightly more accessible Poco F8 Pro isn’t far behind. It also ran Geekbench, and it proved that the phone will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Interestingly, while the prototype showed 12GB of RAM, my personal feeling is that we’ll have plenty more configuration options once the device hits the market.
The real excitement, however, lies in the user experience! Both phones are expected to ship running Android 16 from day one, and naturally, they’ll have Xiaomi’s own HyperOS 3 layered on top. I really believe this software combination is going to be great for everyday users. There’s more: the F8 Pro has already begun acquiring some of its certifications. But the most exciting piece of information comes from a leaked image of the box, which prominently features “Sound by Bose”! Seriously, anyone who loves great audio must be jumping for joy after hearing this detail!
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room—is it just a rebranded Redmi? The gossip strongly suggests that the F8 Ultra is a rebranded Redmi K90 Pro Max. And if that holds true, then the same pattern is likely to continue for the F8 Pro, meaning it’s probably a rebranded Redmi K90. This Poco-Redmi guessing game is just never-ending, is it?
If all the leaked details turn out to be accurate, what exactly are we getting with the F8 Pro? We’re looking at a phenomenal 6.59-inch AMOLED screen with an 1156×2510 resolution. The display will have a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, along with 2,560Hz PWM and a brilliant 3,500-nit peak brightness—so display visibility is the least of our worries! It may come with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The camera system also sounds premium, featuring a triple setup on the back: a 50MP main sensor (with OIS), a 50MP telephoto lens (for 2.5x optical zoom), and an 8MP ultrawide. Up front, you’ll get an excellent 20MP selfie camera. And powering this whole beast will be a massive 7,100 mAh battery, complete with 100W fast charging support! Believe me, seeing these specifications makes me think Poco is about to set the affordable flagship segment on fire.
