POCO F8 Ultra Review Roundup: Budget Flagship or Just Loud Speakers?

Is the POCO F8 Ultra finally a real flagship killer – or just the loudest mid‑ranger on the block? We watched all the big reviews so you don’t have to. From TechSpurt and HaylsWorld to Flossy Carter, Created by Ella, TechTablets, Lim Reviews & more, here’s the consensus on POCO’s denim‑backed, Bose‑tuned beast.

👖 Denim Design & In‑Hand Feel
That nanotech “waterproof denim” back and huge camera bump are a statement. Most reviewers loved the grip and comfort… as long as you don’t have small hands.

🔊 2.1 Speakers by Bose (with Subwoofer!)
Three speakers, an actual subwoofer, and crazy loud output. Several reviewers said these are the best phone speakers they’ve ever heard — good enough to replace a cheap Bluetooth speaker in a pinch.

📺 Hyper RGB Display
POCO’s Hyper RGB panel combines OLED‑like blacks with LCD‑style sharpness, 1.5K resolution, 120 Hz, and up to 3,500 nits peak brightness for outdoor use.

🔋 Battery & Charging
A 6,500 mAh battery, 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Reviewers consistently got all‑day (often multi‑day) use with super fast top‑ups.

🎮 Performance & Gaming
A blazing Snapdragon, huge benchmark numbers, and stable FPS in popular titles. Great sustained performance for serious gamers.

📷 Camera Reality Check
Excellent low‑light and portraits with 5x periscope zoom, but motion (kids, pets, action) still trails true camera flagships — and some feel Xiaomi is holding it back in software.

🤖 HyperOS 3 & AI
Refined animations, Hyper Island, and a full AI suite (Circle to Search, Gemini & more), though not everyone loves the iOS‑inspired direction or launcher limitations.

🏁 Verdict: Ultra vs Pro & Who Should Buy
If you care about media, gaming and speakers, most reviewers say the Ultra is absolutely worth the extra over the Pro. If you need top‑tier, kid‑proof photography, you may want to look elsewhere.
