Recently announced is the POCO F8 series which featured the POCO F8 Ultra and the F8 Pro smartphones. This launched played significant commemoration as it showcased the brand's entrance into a new era, bringing pro-level grade photography, display, performance and notably audio quality that is audiophile-worthy.
With the F8 Ultra holding a higher price tag and user experience aimed at demanding power users, POCO F8 Pro is committed to providing the same level of experience to its mid-range audience, proudly holding a set of balanced features to boot.
POCO F8 Pro: All-Round Flagship Power, Ultimate Daily Driver
POCO F8 Pro delivers a comprehensive and accessible high-performance experience, bringing smart features and seamless performance to every aspect of daily life.
Building on the same performance DNA as POCO F8 Ultra, POCO F8 Pro shares the same industry-leading POCO HyperRGB display, which delivers 2K-like clarity with a reduced 22.3% lower power consumption than the previous generation, while featuring Sound by Bose technology for a premium mobile acoustics experience.
The POCO F8 Pro also runs on Xiaomi HyperOS 318 and supports eSIM, Xiaomi Astral Communication, including Xiaomi Surge T1+ Tuner and Xiaomi Offline Communication.25
Refined Craftsmanship, Contemporary Elegance
Blending advanced technology with contemporary aesthetics, POCO F8 Pro embodies a new expression of design precision and balance.
Featuring POCO's first one-piece milled glass design, the back cover is sculpted from a single 2mm-thick glass block through CNC cold-carving, undergoing 3 carving stages and 41 processes. This forms a 1.3 mm6 deco around the camera, adding depth and texture while allowing the camera deco to transition seamlessly into the back panel. T
he design also achieves POCO's first glossy–matte effect on milled glass, combining a frosted back panel with a glossy glass rectangular deco for a more premium feel.
Encased in a flagship-level metal middle frame with a subtle micro-curved design, the edges transition gently into the back panel for a smoother, more organic contour. Complementing this, POCO's first 6.59-inch golden-ratio display features large rounded corners and a lightweight 199g body, striking a balance between immersive viewing and one-handed comfort. POCO F8 Pro is also certified with IP68 dust and water resistance.
Flagship Power, Smart Cooling
At its core, POCO F8 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform, delivering flagship-level performance for everyday tasks and demanding gaming alike.
Building upon the flagship foundation shared with POCO F8 Ultra, the integration of WildBoost Optimization enables refined CPU and GPU coordination.
This year's enhancements deliver an even more stable and precise gaming experience by intelligently predicting demanding in-game scenes to prevent frame rate drops. Powering this sustained performance is a massive 6210mAh (typ) battery that delivers over 16 hours of continuous use, paired with 100W HyperCharge12 that takes the device from 0 to 100% in just 37 minutes.
To maintain consistent power, LiquidCool Technology introduces POCO's first 3D triple-layer IceLoop system. This triple-layer design increases the distance between the screen and the liquid heat pipe (LHP) to minimize surface heat, while bringing the LHP closer to the SoC, enabling heat from the core to be absorbed and transferred more efficiently.
Together, these refinements achieve a 40% increase in maximum thermal capacity within a more compact body compared to POCO F7 Pro, ensuring stable performance even under sustained load.
Pro-Level Imaging, Elevated Creativity
The imaging system also represents a major leap forward, with POCO F8 Pro becoming the first in POCO Pro lineup to feature a dedicated telephoto camera, bringing versatile photography to everyday life.
Its set up includes a 50MP telephoto camera that introduces 2.5x optical zoom, ideal for half-body portraits, and 5x lossless zoom for detailed close-ups. With Telephoto motion, it capture ensures sharp snapshots of moving subjects, making telephoto photography both intuitive and precise.
Meanwhile, the 50MP main camera with the Light Fusion 800 image sensor and OIS effectively handles challenging lighting conditions such as backlit daytime scenes and urban neon nightscapes.
Coming with some software enhancements, similar to POCO F8 Ultra, imaging has been tweaked to elevate creative possibilities further for creators. POCO F8 Pro allows capturing 1440P ultra-clear dynamic shots and shooting expressive moments with positive and negative film filters.
