POCO’s back in Nepal with the POCO F8 Pro and they’re not playing around this time. After being quiet for a while, they’ve dropped what looks like their strongest Pro phone yet. The standout feature? A proper telephoto camera – something that’s been missing from their Pro lineup. Add the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a battery that lasts forever and you’ve got a phone worth checking out.
Display & Design
POCO went premium with the POCO F8 Pro’s design. The back panel is carved from one solid piece of glass, which gives it a clean, high-end look. Weighing 199g and measuring 8mm thick, it feels good in your hand without being a brick. The 6.59-inch AMOLED screen gets ridiculously bright at 3500 nits – you’ll have no trouble using it outdoors. The 120Hz refresh makes everything feel fast and responsive. Plus, it’s IP68 rated, so splashes and dust won’t damage it.
Performance
The POCO F8 Pro runs on Snapdragon 8 Elite, which scored over 3.2 million on AnTuTu benchmarks. That’s proper flagship power right there. POCO added their IceLoop cooling setup that manages heat way better than the previous model – 40% improvement, they claim. You get 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, so multitasking and storing stuff isn’t a problem. Gaming? This phone eats through demanding titles without stuttering.
Camera
Here’s the real upgrade – POCO finally added a telephoto lens to their Pro series. The 50MP telephoto does 2.5x optical zoom, great for taking portraits from a natural distance. Push it to 5x and the photos still look sharp. The main camera is a 50MP sensor with stabilization, so your shots come out clear even when you’re moving. There’s an 8MP wide-angle camera too. Video recording goes up to 1440P and you get some cool filters to play with.
Battery
The 6210mAh battery is huge – POCO says it’ll run for over 16 hours straight. But what’s really cool is the 100W fast charging that fills it up completely in just 37 minutes. Need to charge your earbuds? The 22.5W reverse charging has you covered. There’s also a smart system that adjusts charging speed based on how you’re using the phone and its temperature, keeping the battery healthy longer.
Audio & Speakers
POCO teamed up with Bose for the dual symmetric speakers on the POCO F8 Pro. The sound is loud and clear, with two profiles to choose from – Dynamic for bass-heavy tracks and Balanced for vocals. You get Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos support too. While it lacks the F8 Ultra’s subwoofer, the audio quality still beats most phones at this price
