POCO F8 Pro

Technical specifications

I have used many smartphones, mainly flagships: S23+, S22, Moto 60 Pro, Xiaomi 15 and others. So, everyone knows the advantages, so the disadvantages: the wide angle camera is weak ? but that is understandable given the price; the speakers ? I expected more because there is depth, but the Motorola plays louder and more powerfully, there is a total lack of bass; the number of advertisements, games etc. is excessive and it takes a long time to get rid of some of them. It gets hot while using TikTok or Facebook ? it gets very hot, just like the Xiaomi 15. I thought it would be better here, but it is not. The screen is fine. In short, for up to 2500 it is a decent phone. The processor performs its task well.

I have had this phone for a week and I am not a gamer. I value performance, convenience, and the ability to decide for myself. It is excellent, from the battery to the keyboard and all the software! Previously I had a Samsung, and what prompted me to change was the devious way I was being forced to use a Samsung account. I could not turn it off, the option to delete the account was disabled, and notifications from Samsung applications arrived constantly. In POCO, what is unnecessary can be uninstalled and there are no constant disturbances :) I recommend it to people who value convenience and complete peace of mind! Samsung? Never again!

I highly recommend this phone; I switched from a Samsung Galaxy S24 flagship and returned to POCO phones. I previously had the X3 pro, X4 pro, and X6 pro, but despite the great battery and performance, I always missed two things in them. Firstly, water resistance and a good camera.

There are no compromises in this phone; it has everything. Super performance at a level of over 3 million points in AnTuTu, a battery that is practically impossible to drain in one day; I tried from morning to evening and always have about 20% left, even though I use it very frequently, which means 1.5-2 days of normal use. The camera is really decent; obviously there are better ones, but POCO has improved significantly in this area, 120w fast charging which I lacked in the Samsung, and finally the IP68 water resistance certification.

It has eSIM, really good speakers, a really decent display, 120 Hz refresh rate, a case and a USB cable are included in the set, unfortunately there is no charger and it must be purchased separately. I bought a 90-watt one instead of 120-watt, but it is completely sufficient. If you are considering the purchase, there is nothing to think about. I highly recommend it.

POCO F8 Pro (12/512 version) very good phone, comfortable to use, powerful components and a large battery. Cameras very good during the day, at night it performs slightly worse but overall there is no reason to complain - obviously it is not the level of "flagship models" but compared to phones at a price up to 3,000 PLN it is very good. Battery could be slightly larger but for me it is sufficient for 1.5 days without any issues. It does not overheat as some people write - okay, the first startup and configurations plus updates - yes, the phone became warm but did not reach high temperatures. Overall a very good, versatile phone at a price below 2,300 PLN - obviously there are better phones but... I am satisfied with the purchase.

There is not much more to say. At the price of 1969 PLN for the 12GB+256GB version, I am satisfied. Applications install lightning-fast. The sound enhancement is noticeable. I do not use 5G because where I live LTE works better and the internet speeds are higher than on 5G, with a difference of 30 Mbit. Additionally, the jump in LTE performance compared to my old Poco M4 pro without 5G is from 40-50 Mbit to 170 Mbit. I do not have fiber optics at home, so for downloading games while sharing the network with a computer, it performs fantastically.

I received this phone as a gift. Not much to say, I used the F7 for a while, which is also a great phone. I had slight doubts about how it would work and look.
Zalety:
- AMOLED 120Hz screen, very bright
- Processor
- Graphics
- Smoothness of operation
- Battery works very well
- It does not heat up
- Build quality!!! Absolutely excellent
- Camera takes very good photos
- System
If anyone finds it on promotion, they should purchase it. A very good phone for this price.
I recommend it 100%

The phone is very good, fast, with a strong battery and a decent screen. However, from December 2025 to July 2026, it did not receive a SINGLE security update. Zero updates for over half a year and complete silence from Xiaomi; it is unknown if and when any updates will occur.
