With the POCO F8 Pro, here is a phone that might be soon released, at least according to the rumor engine. There has been a lot of speculation and leaks that have created a huge excitement among the fans even before it is officially announced. Even though it has a reputation of providing flagship-level performance on disruptive prices, POCO has been reported to be developing another disruptive device. The next POCO F8 Pro may have the best-in-the-market specifications, a new look, and a high charging speed, and its price can compete with the largest participants of the industry. This is what we know up to date about this possible flagship killer.
Design and Appearance: High-end Design in the contemporary times
There are rumors that the POCO F8 Pro will have a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh ratio, which will provide a smoother display to play games and stream. The handset can have a thinner bezel, a punch-hole display camera and a more sleek camera island on the backside.
In case that leaks are correct, it is also likely that Gorilla Glass and, potentially, IP68 dust and water resistance will be available; the latter feature would bring POCO closer to the real flagship status. Nevertheless, as these facts are not checked, the readers are to be cautious about them.
Performance: Snapdragon Power Under the Hood
The POCO F8 Pro, according to the initial reports, might offer the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the most powerful and the latest Qualcomm processor. This would be a huge improvement of the performance over the predecessors. The chipset may support the maximum of 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, allowing the chip to operate at breakneck speed when it comes to the game, multitasking, and AI-powered capabilities.
There are also rumors that it has an advanced vapor cooling system to ensure it has been able to keep up its performance under load although this remains to be confirmed.
Camera: Huge Sensor Update
The POCO F8 Pro is expected to come with a 200MP main camera sensor, which may be accompanied by an ultra-wide and a telephoto camera. This would be a significant improvement of the POCO line and put it at the same level of its photography as flagships.
The front camera with a 32MP may be used to take selfies and make video calls, and new AI algorithms can improve the quality of images and low-light capabilities. There are also leaks that indicate 8K video recording capability – however until it can be confirmed officially, these are just speculations.
Quick and Mighty Battery and Charging
The POCO devices have great battery life and charging as its strong points, and the POCO F8 Pro may follow the trend. There are rumors about a 5,000mAh battery, which supports 120W fast charging, in which case the battery can be charged within less than 25 minutes.
It also supports some sources that state wireless charging, which will be the first POCO phones in case. Still, all these facts are unproven and should be considered as the initial assumptions instead of facts.
Software and Features
The POCO F8 Pro will use HyperOS on Android 15, providing a more coherent custom user experience. It is expected to have 5G connection, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, fingerprint sensor on the screen, and Dolby Atmos stereo speakers.
With that said, POCO has made no statements to confirm these specifications and thus all such features are not proven at this time.
Predicted Price and India Introducing Schedule
With the confirmation under the anticipation of the fans, POCO F8 Pro is said to be launched in early 2025, in the global markets, and then to India. POCO F8 Pro may have an Indian starting price of 39,999-44,999, or varies with the configuration.
Provided it is the case, it would compete directly with the OnePlus 13R, iQOO 13, and Realme GT 6 Pro. No prices have been approved or even a launch date confirmed by POCO.
Important Rumor Disclaimer
The POCO F8 Pro is a speculated phone and it is not officially confirmed by POCO or any authentic source. Everything regarding its design, specifications, price, and release date is grounded on unverified leaks and premature news. No one can be sure that it will be released, or that it will be exactly what it is, and no one can make conclusions until it is officially announced.
Final Verdict
Provided that the leaks are correct, the POCO F8 Pro might be able to change the definition of what a flagship in the mid-range can provide, or in other words, its alleged Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 200MP camera, 120W charger, and high-end design. But because this device is yet to be tested, then it would be better to consider all the talk as an opinion until POCO opens its mouth and makes it official.
One thing is certain: in the event POCO releases a phone with these speculations, the POCO F8 Pro will certainly be able to draw eyes in the year 2025.
