Battery Rumors Surrounding the Poco F8
There are talks about a new Redmi phone featuring a battery over 8,000mAh being developed. It’s important to mention that recently, the Poco brand has not been very active in the Chinese market, and the tipster did not specifically mention the Poco F8 in his post. Instead, he referred to a high-performance Redmi device expected to be released in 2026, which will have a flat display measuring about 6.8 inches and a battery that exceeds the 8,000mAh capacity.
Possible Successors to Previous Models
The tipster might be talking about successors to the Redmi Turbo 4, Turbo 4 Pro, or the Redmi K80 Ultra. To remind you, these previous models had batteries of 6,550mAh, 7,550mAh, and 7,410mAh, respectively. This new leak suggests that the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, the K90 Ultra, or both could potentially have batteries that go beyond the 8,000mAh threshold.
Future Speculations
Given that the Poco F7 (specifically for the Indian market) is essentially a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, it seems plausible that the Poco F8 could be based on the forthcoming Redmi Turbo 5 Pro. If that is the case, the F8 might also feature an 8,000mAh battery and a 6.8-inch flat screen, which aligns with the information from DCS.
At this moment, it’s premature to make guesses about the launches in 2026. For the upcoming year, DCS hinted in another post on Weibo that the Redmi Note 15 series might be released around the middle of the second half of the year, likely suggesting a launch in September in China. Additionally, the Xiaomi 16 series and the Redmi K90 lineup are expected to follow closely after. Various reports indicate that the Xiaomi 16 series could potentially debut by the end of September in China.
