POCO looks ready to shake things up again in the mid-premium smartphone world, and the leaks around the POCO F8 Pro 5G are getting people talking. If these early specs are on point, this phone isn’t messing around. We’re looking at a device built for speed, loaded with fresh AI features, and aiming to be one of 2025’s top performers. Here’s what’s out in the open so far.
A Battery That Just Won’t Quit: 6210mAh
Let’s start with the battery – 6210mAh. That’s huge, especially for a phone targeting performance users. Most mid-range phones stick to around 5000mAh, so POCO’s going big here. If you game a lot, watch a ton of videos, or just hate carrying a charger everywhere, this means more screen time and less hunting for a plug. Heavy users won’t have to worry about running out of juice halfway through the day.
Charging also gets an upgrade. 100W fast charging is on the cards, promising a full charge in under half an hour. That’s faster than almost anything else in this space right now.
Serious Power Under the Hood
Word is, the F8 Pro will run on either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or the newer 8s Gen 3, with up to 12GB RAM and a massive 512GB of storage. That puts it right up there with much more expensive phones when it comes to raw power, whether you’re gaming, doing AI-heavy tasks, or shooting high-frame-rate video. POCO’s also throwing in a beefed-up vapor chamber cooling system, so the phone won’t get too hot when you’re pushing it hard.
Display and Cameras: Looks and Performance
On the front, you’ll get a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with sharp 1.5K resolution, a silky 120Hz refresh rate, and brightness that tops 2000 nits. So, yeah, it should look fantastic indoors and outside.
Camera-wise, leaks mention a 64MP main sensor with OIS, an ultrawide lens, and stronger night mode. POCO’s apparently working on new AI Image Boost tricks to make colors pop and keep photos clear even when the lights are low.
AI Features: Smarter Than Ever
The real wild card is all the AI stuff POCO’s packing in. Here’s what’s rumored:
- AI Task Scheduler to keep multitasking smooth
- Smarter scene detection for the camera
- AI Voice Summaries for turning notes and recordings into quick recaps
- AI Wallpaper Generator for fresh backgrounds
- AI Call Assist that can screen spam and even translate calls as they happen
All this should make the F8 Pro a lot more than just fast—it sounds like a real productivity tool too.
Is This the One to Beat?
Big battery, lightning-fast charging, flagship-level performance, and a pile of smart features—POCO’s aiming high. If the price is right, the F8 Pro 5G could be the phone that forces other brands to catch up.
