Get ready, Poco fans — the Poco F8 series is on its way! Like before, these phones are rebranded versions of the Redmi K series, made for markets outside China. But this time, Poco seems to be moving faster than usual.
Last year, the Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra launched in March, a couple of months after their certifications. Now, the Poco F8 and F8 Pro have already appeared on Thailand’s NBTC certification list, hinting at an early launch — maybe sooner than anyone expected!
A new leak adds more excitement. A photo of the Poco F8 Pro box surfaced online, showing the words “Sound by Bose.” That means Poco has partnered with Bose to fine-tune the phone’s audio — just like the Redmi K90 Pro Max. This also confirms that the F8 series is closely related to the Redmi K90 lineup.
There’s one small downside, though. The box seems thinner than usual, and the leaker says there might be no charger included. It’s unclear if that’s only for Europe or everywhere. Fingers crossed Poco keeps the charger in most regions!
As for specs, leaks suggest the Poco F8 Ultra will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, while the F8 Pro might use the previous-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite. The battery sizes are slightly smaller than the Chinese models — the F8 Pro could have a 6210mAh battery, and the F8 Ultra a 6500mAh one.
All signs point to a powerful and premium lineup with a focus on sound and speed. The Poco F8 series is shaping up to be one of the most exciting launches of the year — stay tuned!
