A summary of POCO's official product description.

Official POCO source (Kang Lou, POCO Global Spokesperson)

POCO positions the F8 Ultra as entering a new premium era for the brand, with genuine flagship-tier hardware.

POCO launched the F8 Ultra globally on November 26, 2025 in Bali, Indonesia, built around a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a 5x periscope telephoto camera and 100W wired plus 50W wireless charging, aimed at buyers who want flagship performance without flagship pricing.

Review β€” 4.5 / 5
β€œAt its list price, the Poco F8 Ultra is well worth considering. At its current early bird pricing, on the other hand, it's shaping up as one of the best deals of the season.”

GSMArena praises the flagship chipset, camera system and charging speed for the price, calling it one of the best value flagships of the season, especially at early-bird pricing.

Caution
Editorial Analysis

Strengths and points to consider

Compiled by the Kacbu editorial team from spec sheets, independent press reviews and reported user feedback.

Strengths based on the specs
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship chipset at a price hundreds of dollars below most rivals carrying the same silicon.
5x periscope telephoto with OIS is rare at this price β€” most "flagship killer" phones skip a proper telephoto entirely.
100W wired and 50W wireless charging on a 6500mAh battery is a genuinely flagship-tier charging package.
3500 nit peak brightness AMOLED display handles direct sunlight well.
IP68 rating plus ultrasonic fingerprint and AI face unlock are unusually complete for the price.
Things to consider
Not launched in India β€” a notable gap given POCO's strong following there, and no official explanation was given for the omission.
HyperOS still carries more preloaded software than closer-to-stock Android rivals.
GSMArena's review specifically recommends buying at early-bird pricing rather than full list price for the best value.
Brand carries less resale value and support infrastructure than parent company Xiaomi's own flagship line.
Historical Product Info

Official launch details

Instead of tracking today's retail price, Kacbu keeps the product's official launch information as a reference.

AnnouncedNovember 26, 2025

ReleaseNovember 26, 2025

The start of the initial sales period.

EU launch price€830

POCO F8 Ultra's launch price.

POCO is designed in Beijing as a Xiaomi sub-brand; production runs through the Chinese contract manufacturers in Xiaomi's wider supply chain (such as Wingtech). Since the F8 Ultra is not officially sold in India, it is not covered by Xiaomi's local assembly partners there (Foxconn, Dixon, DBG, BYD).

This is not the current retail price β€” it shows the product's historical, official launch information.

FAQ

The most common questions about this product

What the numbers on the spec sheet actually mean in day-to-day use.

Should you buy the POCO F8 Ultra?
The Kacbu decision box currently says CONSIDER for the POCO F8 Ultra: the specs hold up, but there are not yet enough real owner reports to strengthen the call. Pros, cautions and alternatives are in the decision box at the top of this page.
Why isn't the POCO F8 Ultra sold in India?
POCO hasn't given an official reason, which is notable given how strong the brand's following is in India. If you're in India, you'd need to import a unit through a third party without official warranty support β€” worth checking POCO's other India-specific models first.
Is the 5x periscope telephoto actually good, or just a spec-sheet number?
It's genuinely functional β€” reviewers note real, usable zoom shots with OIS stabilization, unusual at this price where most "flagship killer" phones either skip a telephoto entirely or use a low-resolution one. It won't match the dual-periscope setups on pricier Ultra flagships, but it's a real advantage over most direct competitors.
Should I buy at list price or wait for a sale?
GSMArena's review specifically notes the phone is a much stronger deal at early-bird/promotional pricing than at full list price. If you can wait for a sale event, you'll likely get meaningfully better value.
