Get ready to be blown away by the latest leaks in the smartphone world! The Poco F8 series is shaping up to be a powerhouse, but there’s a twist that might just divide opinions. Just yesterday, we spotted the Poco F8 Ultra making its way through the Geekbench database, and today, its sibling, the Poco F8 Pro, has followed suit. These benchmarks have spilled the beans on their chipsets, confirming that the F8 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite—a detail that’s sure to excite tech enthusiasts. But here’s where it gets controversial: while the F8 Ultra is rumored to be a rebranded Redmi K90 Pro Max, whispers suggest the F8 Pro might share a similar fate, potentially being a rebranded Redmi K90. Is this a clever strategy or a missed opportunity for originality?
The prototype tested on Geekbench packed a solid 12GB of RAM, though we wouldn’t be surprised if Xiaomi offers even beefier configurations at launch. And this is the part most people miss: the F8 Pro is set to debut with Android 16 straight out of the box, layered with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 for a seamless user experience. Certifications are already in place, and a recent box leak teased 'Sound by Bose,' hinting at a premium audio experience—though, interestingly, it seems the charger won’t be included in the package. Is this a step forward in sustainability or just a cost-cutting measure?
If the rebranding rumors hold true, the F8 Pro could boast a stunning 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2,560Hz PWM, and a jaw-dropping 3,500-nit peak brightness. Under the hood, expect up to 16GB of RAM and a whopping 1TB of storage. Photography lovers will appreciate the triple rear camera setup, featuring a 50MP main lens with OIS, a 50MP telephoto lens with 2.5x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide shooter. Selfie enthusiasts aren’t left behind, with a 20MP front camera. And let’s not forget the massive 7,100 mAh battery, supporting lightning-fast 100W wired charging. But here’s the question: does rebranding make sense in a market craving innovation, or is it a smart move to bring high-end specs to a wider audience? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this is one debate you won’t want to miss!
