Xiaomi’s sub-brand POCO is gearing up for one of its most anticipated flagship launches of the year, the POCO F8 Series. The smartphones were already announced in China last month under the Redmi K90 Series branding. The POCO’s official social media account has confirmed the date on 26 November in Bali, Indonesia. The POCO F series is the brand’s most loved series and builds on the reputation made by previous generation F series smartphones, the Poco F8 series is also bringing some crazy flagship technologies which is also POCO’s first. The Series contains two devices as of now, the POCO F8 Pro and POCO F8 Ultra with another third device POCO F8 to be launched next year.
Since the series is the rebranded version of Redmi K90 Series launched earlier, it’s not surprising that POCO is also bringing a fresh new design as Denim Blue color on F8 Ultra. This finish not only gives the devices a fresh, stylish appeal but also adds a premium touch that sets them apart from the more conventional smartphone shades.
POCO has also confirmed that they have teamed up with Bose to enhance the sound quality of the F8 Series. This collaboration marks a significant move for the brand, as Bose’s tuning is known for delivering balanced audio with rich clarity and depth.
The POCO F8 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset which is Qualcomm’s best Flagship chip after the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 whereas the F8 Ultra will have the latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The smartphones will also have a flagship 6.83 inch 120Hz Real RGB OLED display which was previously seen on flagship Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.
Overall this time, POCO F8 Series is equipped with cutting edge technologies with many POCO firsts. If priced aggressively, the smartphones will be a great competitor to recent launches such as OnePlus 15, IQOO 15 and Realme GT 8 Pro.
