The wait for Poco’s next performance-driven smartphone seems to be almost over. The Poco F8 Pro is gearing up for its global debut, including the Indian market, and recent leaks have given fans an early look at what’s coming.
A leaked retail box image of the device has surfaced online, revealing some exciting and surprising details.
While the phone promises flagship-level specifications and premium design, there’s one update that might leave users a little disappointed.
Poco F8 Pro: The Next Big Step After the F7 Pro
The Poco F8 Pro will launch as the official successor to the Poco F7 Pro, which was praised for its powerful performance and 90W in-box fast charging support.
According to several reports, the upcoming model will essentially be a rebranded version of the Redmi K90, which recently launched in China with top-tier features and cutting-edge technology.
Bose-Tuned Audio Confirmed via Retail Box
Renowned tipster Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) has shared an image of the Poco F8 Pro’s retail box online. The most eye-catching detail is the “Sound by Bose” branding clearly visible on the box.
This confirms Poco’s partnership with the premium audio brand, ensuring a rich and immersive sound experience. The same technology was featured in the Redmi K90 series, further supporting claims that the F8 Pro is indeed its global variant.
Poco Might Drop the In-Box Charger
In a move that aligns with the growing industry trend, the Poco F8 Pro may not include a charging adapter in the box. This is a significant shift from the Poco F7 Pro, which offered a 90W charger, and even from the Redmi K90, which still ships with one.
While Poco’s decision may be aimed at reducing electronic waste, many fans may find this change disappointing, especially given the phone’s premium positioning.
Certification Hints at Global Rollout
Adding weight to the leaks, the Poco F8 Pro has been spotted on the IMDA certification website in Singapore with the model number 25102PCBE.
The listing confirms support for 5G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC, suggesting that the device is ready for a global release very soon.
Expected Specifications (Based on Redmi K90)
If Poco follows Redmi’s template, the F8 Pro will likely offer the same flagship-grade specifications as the Redmi K90, which include:
Display: 6.59-inch OLED panel with vibrant colors and deep contrast
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for high-end performance
Rear Cameras: Triple camera system featuring a 50MP primary sensor (1/1.55″), a 50MP telephoto lens and an 8MP ultra-wide lens.
Front Camera: 20MP selfie shooter for detailed portraits
Battery: 7100mAh battery with 100W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging support
Operating System: Android 16 with HyperOS 3 custom UI
Audio: Bose-tuned sound system for enhanced clarity and balance
Expected Price and Variants
In China, the Redmi K90 is available at 2,599 Yuan (approximately ₹32,000) for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant.
The Poco F8 Pro is expected to launch in a similar price segment globally, offering premium-grade features at a competitive price point.
The Poco F8 Pro appears set to continue the brand’s tradition of delivering flagship performance at an affordable price.
With a top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, Bose-tuned audio, and HyperOS 3 software, the device is shaping up to be one of Poco’s most refined smartphones yet.
However, the absence of an in-box charger could be a divisive choice among loyal fans.
