The Poco F8 Pro is expected to launch very soon in global markets, including India. A leaked image of its retail box has started trending online. According to reports, the new Poco F series phone may arrive without a charging adapter in the box. The Poco F8 Pro will succeed the Poco F7 Pro and could be the global version of the Redmi K90, which was recently launched in China.
It might come with a big 6.59-inch OLED display and a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This means it could be a very powerful smartphone for gamers and power users.
Design and box leak
A well-known tipster, Abhishek Yadav, shared an image of the Poco F8 Pro’s retail box. The box shows the ‘Sound by Bose’ branding. Interestingly, the Redmi K90 series also launched in China with the same Bose-tuned audio. This makes it very likely that the Poco F8 Pro is just a rebranded version of the Redmi K90.
The box leak also hints that Poco may remove the charging adapter from the package. This is quite surprising since the Poco F7 Pro came with a 90W charger inside the box. Even the Redmi K90 in China includes a charger, so this move might disappoint some fans.
Certification details
The Poco F8 Pro with model number 25102PCBE was seen on Singapore’s IMDA certification website. The listing shows that the phone supports 5G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC. This confirms that it will be a modern flagship device with all the latest connectivity features.
If the Poco F8 Pro is indeed a rebranded Redmi K90, we can expect very similar hardware and software specifications.
Expected specifications
The Redmi K90 runs on Android 16-based HyperOS 3, which means the Poco F8 Pro could also ship with the same software. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, one of the most powerful chipsets available.
The phone may come with up to 16GB of RAM and as much as 1TB of storage, giving users plenty of space for apps, games, and media. It’s also expected to feature a bright and smooth 6.59-inch OLED display, perfect for watching videos and playing games.
Here’s a quick look at the expected specs:
| Feature | Poco F8 Pro (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.59-inch OLED |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC |
| RAM | Up to 16GB |
| Storage | Up to 1TB |
| Rear Camera | 50MP (main) + 50MP (telephoto) + 8MP (ultrawide) |
| Front Camera | 20MP |
| Battery | 7,100mAh |
| Charging | 100W wired, 22.5W reverse charging |
| Audio | Sound by Bose |
| Software | Android 16 with HyperOS 3 |
| Connectivity | 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC |
Camera and battery details
If the Poco F8 Pro shares the same camera setup as the Redmi K90, it will include a triple-camera system at the back. The main camera is a 50MP sensor with a large 1/1.55-inch lens, which helps take bright and clear photos. There’s also a 50MP telephoto lens for zoom shots and an 8MP ultrawide lens for wide-angle photos.
For selfies, it could have a 20MP front camera. That should give clear and natural-looking photos, great for video calls and social media.
Powering the phone will be a massive 7,100mAh battery. It’s expected to support 100W fast charging, which means the phone could charge in less than 30 minutes. There’s also 22.5W reverse charging support, letting you charge other devices using your phone’s battery.
Price expectations
In China, the Redmi K90 starts at CNY 2,599 (around Rs. 32,000) for the base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. If the Poco F8 Pro launches in India with similar specs, we can expect a price in the same range. It could be one of the best value-for-money flagship phones when it hits the market.
What to expect from Poco F8 Pro
The Poco F8 Pro looks like a strong performer with a flagship processor, big battery, and premium display. If it really is a rebranded Redmi K90, users can expect smooth performance and high-quality audio tuned by Bose.
However, the possible removal of the in-box charger might be a drawback for some users. Still, with its overall specs, the Poco F8 Pro could easily become one of the most talked-about phones in its segment when it launches globally.
Conclusion
The Poco F8 Pro is shaping up to be a powerful and stylish phone that could make a big splash in the market. It may bring top-end features like the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a stunning OLED screen, and fast charging support. If priced right, it could easily win the hearts of Poco fans once again.
