Xiaomi confirmed that the Poco F8 series would be unveiled on November 26.

The lineup includes the vanilla Poco F8, Poco F8 Pro, and Poco F8 Ultra. However, the standard model could be announced on a different date. The Pro and Ultra variants, on the other hand, are expected to be rebadged versions of the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max, which are now available in China.

 

Despite being rebranded, the Poco F8 Pro and Poco F8 Ultra are rumored to arrive with some minor differences from their Chinese counterparts, including smaller batteries. The colors and configuration options for the Poco phones are also fewer in comparison to their Redmi counterparts. The F8 Pro is available in three colors: Black, Blue, and Titanium Silver, with configurations including 12GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB. The Ultra model, meanwhile, is available in Black and Denim Blue colors, and comes in 12GB/256GB and 16GB/512GB configurations. The camera department of the Ultra model is also reportedly receiving a minor change in its periscope telephoto unit, which will feature a 3.5× optical zoom, down from the 5× optical zoom in the Chinese variant.

As for other sections, such as the display, IP ratings, chips, and more, the Poco F8 Pro and Poco F8 Ultra are expected to adopt the same details as their Chinese siblings. To recall, the Redmi phones debuted with the following details:
