"But first, it's always worth pointing out which China-specific Redmi a new Poco actually is. It's not difficult to pinpoint the model - a standout feature on the back quickly reveals that to be the Redmi K90 Pro Max. Xiaomi has worked with US speaker specialists from Bose to come up with a 2.1 speaker system for the Redmi, and that same system now makes it to the Poco F8 Ultra."
"The F8 Ultra's ascension towards proper flagship territory is marked by its camera system, first and foremost. The main camera is being treated to a larger sensor (now 1/1.3"), the telephoto is given extra reach (the optical zoom is at 5x now), and the ultrawide has gotten more pixels too. That ultrawide is still missing autofocus and the selfie camera isn't exactly exciting either, but steps are being made in the right direction."
"Of course, a mandatory chipset update has taken place and the Poco F8 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 - appropriate for the phone's Ultra moniker and its highest standing among Pocos. In the year of normalizing big batteries, the 6,500mAh powerpack of the Poco is looking pretty good, if not as good as the Redmi's 1000+mAh bigger battery. The 100W charging doesn't sound half bad either."
The Poco F8 Ultra closely follows the China-only Redmi K90 Pro Max, adopting its standout rear design and a Bose-tuned 2.1 speaker system while differing mainly in cosmetics. The camera array advances with a larger 1/1.3" main sensor, a telephoto offering 5x optical zoom, and a higher-resolution ultrawide that still lacks autofocus; the selfie camera remains modest. Performance is handled by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Power is supplied by a 6,500mAh battery with 100W charging, slightly smaller than the Redmi's larger pack. The display grows to 6.9 inches, is a bit brighter, with a minor pixel-count reduction while retaining a 120Hz refresh rate.
