POCO has officially unveiled the new POCO F8 Pro.
The new POCO F8 Pro was showcased alongside the F8 Ultra. While it may be a cheaper alternative to the former, the Pro model still packs a lot of power that reinforces its position in the market as a bang-for-the-buck smartphone.
It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, with 12GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of internal storage.
The series also marks the brand’s partnership with Bose, with the branding “Sound by Bose”. It has the audio tuning from the prominent audio brand, sans the tertiary speaker that the Ultra has.
Compared to its predecessor, the F8 Pro now has a bigger 6,210mAh battery, paired with 100W fast charging. It runs on HyperOS 3 based on Android 16.
We then have two 50-megapixel cameras on the back, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 20-megapixel lens for selfies.
The POCO F8 Pro 12GB/256GB retails for Php29,999, and the 12GB/512GB for Php31,999. You can get them from November 26 to December 9 with an early-bird price of Php26,299 and Php28,299, respectively. For a limited time, you can get it with an additional Php500 voucher on Shopee.
