The Poco F8 Ultra emerges as a compelling 'flagship killer,' merging high-end performance with surprising affordability. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a substantial 6,500mAh battery, ensuring all-day endurance and robust performance for demanding tasks like gaming and multitasking. A standout feature is its unique collaboration with Bose, integrating a dedicated subwoofer into the phone's rear panel, which, alongside dual speakers, creates a rich audio experience that challenges external sound devices.
Photography on the F8 Ultra is equally impressive, with a trio of 50MP rear cameras that consistently exceed expectations in various lighting conditions, including challenging low-light environments. Xiaomi's HyperOS 3 software enhances the camera experience with useful AI-driven features for photo refinement. While its design shares similarities with premium devices, the F8 Ultra offers a comfortable grip and a premium feel.
Launched in November 2025 for $729 / £749, the Poco F8 Ultra is now available at significantly reduced prices, especially in the UK. Its availability in the US is limited to third-party retailers like Amazon and eBay, while it is not available in Australia. The device promises four years of major OS updates and six years of security updates.
