Poco is reportedly developing the Poco F8 series for the global market, and its launch could happen sooner than expected. The F8 Ultra has already received an important certification, hinting that the lineup’s debut is near. The upcoming Poco F8 and F8 Pro are said to be rebranded versions of the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max, which were recently launched in China. However, a new post on X by tipster Kacper Skrzypek suggests that the global models will feature smaller batteries compared to their Chinese counterparts.
Poco F8 series battery sizes revealed
After examining the HyperOS code, Skrzypek revealed that the Poco F8 Pro will come with a 6,210mAh battery, while the F8 Ultra will include a 6,500mAh battery. In comparison, the Redmi K90 series packs larger batteries, with the K90 featuring a 7,100mAh unit and the K90 Pro Max offering an even bigger 7,500mAh battery.
For reference, the Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra also had smaller batteries than the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro. Similarly, while the Poco F8 series will feature reduced battery capacities compared to the K90 lineup, the rest of their specifications are expected to remain identical.
The Poco F8 Pro may feature a 6.59-inch display, while the F8 Ultra could come with a larger 6.9-inch screen. Both models are expected to use OLED panels supporting 2K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. The F8 may include a standard dual-speaker setup, whereas the Ultra could offer a 2.1 audio system with an additional rear speaker for enhanced sound output.
The Poco F8 series is likely to ship with Android 16, customised with the HyperOS 3 interface. Under the hood, the F8 Pro may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, while the Ultra edition could run on the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Both models are expected to offer up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage.
In the camera department, the F8 Pro may feature a 20-megapixel front-facing camera, while the F8 Ultra could sport a 32-megapixel selfie shooter. On the rear, the F8 Pro is expected to include a triple-camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel (OmniVision Light Fusion 800, OIS) main sensor, an 8-megapixel secondary lens, and a 50-megapixel (2.5x telephoto, OIS) sensor.
The F8 Ultra, on the other hand, may feature a 50-megapixel (OmniVision Light Fusion 950, OIS) primary sensor, alongside two additional 50-megapixel lenses, including a 3.5x periscope telephoto lens with OIS support. Both phones are expected to feature a metal middle frame and carry an IP68/69 rating, making them resistant to dust and water.
