As competition in the smartphone market increases, some phones come out that at first glance seem…It’s not like the others. Poco has always tried to strike a balance between power and price with its F-series. From the Poco F1 to the F7, this series has always been popular with performance-centric users. And the new Poco F8 Ultra, which is truly an exceptional device.
This is the first Poco phone where equal importance has been given to all four aspects – design, display, speakers and power. And for the first time, Poco has added Bose tuned stereo speaker system, which turned it into an audio monster.
Let’s take a detailed look at the full review of the Poco F8 Ultra.
Design and Build – Truly Ultra
What catches the eye first is the design of this phone. Premium and stylish design।
As soon as you pick up the phone, you’ll feel like it’s a premium flagship device.
Design Highlights
- Textured matte back, which looks like jeans texture
- Full metal frame
- 8.3mm thickness and weighs about 214g
- IP68 Water & Dust Resistance
- Huge Horizontal Camera Bar Module
- Premium hand-feel in the hand grip and curved sides
The phone feels a bit wide, but the weight balance is good. The feel you get when you hold it in your hand shows that Poco is seriously targeting the premium segment this time.
Display – The best in Poco’s history
This phone has a6.9-inch Hyper RGB AMOLED Curved display, which is one of the most surprising parts of this review.
Display Specifications
- 6.9-inch edge-curved panel

- 120Hz high refresh rate
- 2000 nits HDR brightness / 3500 nits peak brightness
- Extremely thin bezels with symmetric chin

The screen’s color, contrast, brightness, and sharpness—everything is perfectly balanced.
Colors pop-out vibrantly, and video consumption feels like a movie theater.
Outdoor visibility is also great—the display is noticeably bright even in sunlight.
This is undoubtedly Poco’s best so far. The best display experience.
Speakers & Audio – The Magic of Bose
This is the first phone where Poco has added Bose tuned stereo speaker system।
This takes the phone to a new level of audio experience.
- The sound is very loud and clear.
- Bass punchy and rich

Whether it’s music, movies, or gaming—there’s no need for a separate Bluetooth speaker.
The true power of this audio is that you can feel the sound with your chest, not your ears.

However, skin tone processing and consistency sometimes show a mismatch,
Portrait edge detection ~80% accurate, needs further improvement.

The camera is good, but not “True flagship level”.
Software and UI
- Runs on Hyper OS based on Android 16
- Something Bloatware and ads It can be seen
- The UI is smooth, but the presence of ads is not acceptable.
Will it come to India?
