In late November, Poco made waves by launching the F8 Pro and F8 Ultra in Bali, just eight months after their predecessors. This accelerated release schedule is uncommon, but the brand was eager to debut its new Ultra model with Qualcomm's latest flagship chipset, avoiding the delays experienced with the F7 Ultra.

We have already published comprehensive reviews of both the F8 Ultra and F8 Pro. Now, our video review of the Poco F8 Pro is available for viewing. Just hit Play and join us for an in-depth look.
The Poco F8 Pro offers solid value, especially when taking advantage of early bird pricing. While it features last year’s top chipset, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (marketed as Snapdragon 8 Elite), it remains highly capable. The F8 Pro lacks the subwoofer and 2.1 audio system found in the Ultra, but its speakers are still expertly tuned by Bose. The device includes three rear cameras, though the ultrawide is a modest 8MP. Notably, the addition of a telephoto lens is an improvement over the F7 Pro, and battery capacity has also increased.
Overall, the Poco F8 Pro stands as a very competitive option at its price point. Our video review covers every key feature—don’t miss it.
