POCO has finally made its move into the premium flagship space with the global launch of the POCO F8 Ultra and POCO F8 Pro in Bali. The brand also announced a partnership with Bose, bringing its audio tuning to the F8 Series for the first time, alongside two new tablets — the POCO Pad X1 and POCO Pad M1.
It’s a big shift for a brand best known for budget performance phones, signalling that POCO is now aiming directly at the high-end crowd without letting go of its “value-first” DNA.
POCO F8 Ultra — The New Flagship Centrepiece
Performance & Cooling
POCO F8 Ultra uses a dual-chip setup with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and VisionBoost D8, backed by WildBoost optimisation for smoother gameplay and better CPU/GPU balance. LiquidCool Technology keeps long gaming sessions stable.
Sound by Bose
The highlight: a triple-speaker system tuned by Bose. Clearer vocals, stronger bass, and a wider soundstage, with Dynamic and Balanced modes to suit different listening styles.
Display
The HyperRGB display brings a full RGB subpixel structure, lower power use, DC dimming, and a 6.9-inch screen with slim bezels.
Camera
The F8 Ultra packs a 50MP Light Fusion 950 main camera with OIS, a 50MP 5x periscope telephoto lens (up to 20x zoom), and a 50MP ultra-wide. Modes like Motion Capture, Super Moon, film-style filters, and dynamic shots add creative flexibility.
Battery, Charging & Build
A 6500mAh battery is paired with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
The design features an aluminium alloy frame, ultra-narrow bezels and IP68 resistance, with Denim Blue (textured) and Black (gloss-matte) variants.
Software & Connectivity
Runs on Xiaomi HyperOS 3 with eSIM, HyperConnect, HyperAI tools and Astral Communication for improved signal, GPS and device-to-device integration.
POCO F8 Pro — The Everyday Flagship
