Poco today confirmed that it’s launching the Poco F8 Pro and F8 Ultra globally on November 26th. The company has also revealed the design of the two phones, confirming one key detail: both are rebranded Redmi K90 models.
The standard Poco F8 Pro comes in three finishes: Black, Grey, and Aqua Blue. Its rear design closely mirrors what we’ve already seen on the Redmi K90 in China, including the same rectangular camera block with rounded corners.
The higher-end Poco F8 Ultra will be available in Blue and Black, but the Blue version stands out with a textured leather-style back panel. The camera module layout follows the Redmi K90 Pro Max pretty closely, and there’s a noticeable “Sound by Bose” badge near the cameras. This confirms the phone uses Bose’s tuning for a more detailed and immersive audio experience.
None of this is surprising, though. The F8 Pro and F8 Ultra have long been rumored (and in some markets openly acknowledged) to be rebranded versions of the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max.
The biggest difference seems to be battery size, with the POCO models reportedly carrying slightly smaller cells than their Redmi counterparts.
Both devices have already been through several certification listings, and recent Geekbench entries fill in some of the performance details. The F8 Pro appears to ship with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the F8 Ultra steps up to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The listings also point to Android 16 out of the box and a 16GB RAM option.
With the design now confirmed, all that’s left is pricing and full specs, and we won’t have to wait long. The POCO F8 series will make its global debut in less than a week.
