POCO has announced the launch of its new F8 series of smartphones on the global market. The presentation will take place on November 26 in Indonesia. The company will introduce the F8 Pro and F8 Ultra models. The series also plans to include a base model, the F8, but its announcement will most likely take place later.
Official images confirm that the new POCO smartphones will receive branded acoustics from BOSE. Its logo is indicated on both the F8 Pro and the F8 Ultra versions, confirming the collaboration. Of particular interest is the Ultra model, which will receive an improved 2.1 audio system, similar to that used in the Redmi K90 Pro Max model for the Chinese market.
The company has not yet revealed the specifications of the smartphones, but according to preliminary data, the POCO F8 Pro will be the global version of the Redmi K90, and the F8 Ultra will correspond to the K90 Pro Max model. If this is the case, the F8 Pro should receive the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, while the F8 Ultra is the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform.
Also, the F8 Pro, probably like the Redmi K90, will have a 6.59-inch OLED display, and the F8 Ultra model will have a 6.9-inch display, like the K90 Pro Max. The screens are expected to have a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The battery in the Pro version should be at the level of 7100 mAh with support for 100 W fast charging. The Ultra will receive a battery of about 7560 mAh and a similar capacity for wired charging. But since global Xiaomi smartphones often come out with smaller batteries than models for China, there is a possibility that the POCO F8 Pro and F8 Ultra will have smaller batteries compared to the Chinese Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max. In addition, POCO devices may come without a charging adapter, which is in line with current industry trends.
