According to reports, Poco is developing the Poco F8 series for the global market, and its launch may be sooner than expected. A critical certification has already been awarded to the F8 Ultra, hinting at the launch’s closeness.
The Poco F8 and F8 Pro are reportedly rebranded versions of the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max, which were launched in China recently. A new post on X by tipster Kacper Skrzypek suggests that global models will have smaller batteries than Chinese models.
Skrzypek revealed that the Poco F8 Pro will have a 6,210 mAh battery, while the F8 Ultra will have a 6,500 mAh battery. The Redmi K90 series, on the other hand, packs larger batteries: the K90 offers a 7,100mAh battery, and the K90 Pro Max provides an even larger 7,500mAh battery.
Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra also had smaller batteries than Redmi K80 and K80 Pro. Poco F8 will feature smaller batteries than the K90 lineup, but the rest of its specifications will remain the same.
The Poco F8 Pro could have a 6.59-inch display, while the F8 Ultra could have a 6.9-inch display. It is expected that both models will feature OLED screens supporting 2K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor built into the screen. For enhanced sound output, the Ultra could offer a 2.1 audio system with an additional rear speaker.
