Last week, Poco unveiled the much-awaited Poco F7, packed with a massive 7,550mAh battery. Now, a new leak from well-known tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that the upcoming Poco F8 may feature an even larger 8,000mAh battery.
Redmi Turbo 5 Pro / Poco F8 battery size rumor
That said, it’s worth noting that the Poco brand has not been active in the Chinese market recently, and DCS has not directly mentioned the Poco F8 in his post. Instead, the leak refers to an upcoming high-performance Redmi phone, expected to launch in 2026, which will sport a flat display of around 6.8 inches and a battery that exceeds 8,000mAh capacity.
The tipster could be referring to any one of the successors to the Redmi Turbo 4, Turbo 4 Pro, or the Redmi K80 Ultra. To recap, these models came with 6,550mAh, 7,550mAh, and 7,410mAh batteries, respectively. Based on this trend, the new leak implies that the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, the K90 Ultra, or both could surpass the 8,000mAh mark.
Considering that the Poco F7 (Indian variant) is a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, it’s highly likely that the Poco F8 could be based on the upcoming Redmi Turbo 5 Pro. If that turns out to be the case, the F8 might also offer an 8,000mAh battery and a 6.8x-inch flat display, aligning with DCS’s leak.
As of now, it’s too early to speculate on 2026 launches. For 2025, DCS has hinted in another Weibo post that the Redmi Note 15 series may arrive around the middle of second half of the year, suggesting a September launch in China. The Xiaomi 16 series and the Redmi K90 lineup are also expected to launch soon after. Multiple reports suggest that the Xiaomi 16 series could debut by the end of September in China.
