Earlier today, Xiaomi revealed more information about its upcoming Poco F8 Ultra sub-flagship smartphone. As previously mentioned, the Poco F8 Pro will also launch at the same time, likely priced lower than its Ultra counterpart, similar to how the Poco F7 Ultra and Poco F7 Pro were released (curr. $595 on Amazon).
Specifications Unveiled
With both phones expected to hit the market by the end of the month, Xiaomi has confirmed that the Poco F8 Pro will be equipped with last-gen Qualcomm flagship chip. The Snapdragon 8 Elite has been chosen, supporting rumors that Xiaomi is rebranding the Redmi K90 for international buyers. Furthermore, Sudhanshu Ambhore has highlighted the similarities between the two models in a detailed leak.
Display and Camera Features
For example, the Poco F8 Pro will feature the same 6.59-inch, 120 Hz LTPS AMOLED display from the Redmi K90, along with its 50 MP main camera, 50 MP telephoto lens, 20 MP selfie camera, and an 8 MP ultra-wide camera. Nevertheless, Ambhore emphasizes previous claims that Xiaomi will downgrade the battery from 7,100 mAh to a 6,210 mAh capacity, which will support 100 W wired charging.
Battery Life Concerns
Sadly, the EU Energy rating suggests that the Poco F8 Pro’s battery can only endure 1,000 charge cycles before its capacity falls below 80%. Also, it appears Xiaomi has only certified the Poco F8 Pro with an IP68 rating for regions outside of China, despite asserting it has an IP69 rating domestically. While the exact pricing is yet to be confirmed, Xiaomi has announced its plans to launch the Poco F8 Pro globally on November 26.
