The following is a closer examination of its price in Bangladesh, specifications, and performance in the real world.

An In-Depth Review on Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra

The Poco F8 Ultra is not an exception and the Poco series has been associated with offering impressive features at a good price. It aims at tech fans and people who do not need to spend a lot of money to have a flagship-level performance but still have a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a bright 6.9-inch AMOLED screen, and a huge 6500mAh battery. Naturally, nothing is the best phone, and there are some aspects that the Poco F8 Ultra needs to take into account. This review will discuss its price in Bangladesh, its main strengths, and possible weaknesses so that you make an informed choice.

Box Content

This is what you get inside the Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra box:

• Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra Smartphone
• USB Type-C cable
• Silicone case
• User manual
• SIM tool

We have to have a look at what is in the box. The package is solid and high end. The Poco F8 Ultra phone a USB Type-C cable, a clear silicone case, a SIM ejector tool, and some paperwork (manuals and warranty information) are included inside. Like most of the present-day smartphones, earphones are also not provided, so this can be a disappointment to some users. Nevertheless, the box contains everything that is needed to begin using the phone immediately without additional buying.

Design & Build Quality

The design and the quality of the build is always a huge selling point of any smartphone and the Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra does not fail to impress. The phone is really premium, with a glass front that is covered by Poco Shield Glass, an aluminum alloy frame, and a back of either fiber-reinforced plastic or silicone polymer. I tried the black one that weighs 218 grams and the Denim Blue weighs a bit more at 220 grams. Although the phone has a big 6.9-inch screen, it is well balanced and comfortable to hold with a height of 163.33 mm, a width of 77.82 mm and a thickness of 7.9 mm with Black or 8.3 mm with Denim Blue.

The phone is dust-proof and water-resistant to 1.5 meters in 30 minutes, which is one of the most remarkable characteristics because of its IP68 rating. The positioning of the buttons is perfect, and haptic feedback is responsive and good. The glass back is smooth and looks classy, but it may be slippery, which is why it is best to use the provided case. It is also liable to fingerprints particularly in darker colors.

The Poco F8 Ultra is more refined in terms of materials and finish compared to the competing products such as the Realme GT Neo series or OnePlus Nord. But it still has several minor flaws: some users can be annoyed by the lack of a headphone jack, and the large camera bump on the rear side can cause the phone to shake on flat surfaces.

All in all, Poco F8 Ultra provides a sleek, quality, and strong design. The smooth appearance, strong construction and IP68 rating not only make it appealing but also useful in daily life, providing a balance between style and durability.

Display

One of the most impressive aspects of Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra is its display. It has a huge 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display, with a 1200 x 2608 FHD+ resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and pixel density of 416 ppi. The screen is near bezel-free and has a punch-hole design and is covered with Poco Shield Glass which makes it look and feel like a premium and durable device. It has a peak brightness of 3500 nits, which is excellent in direct sunlight hence suitable to use outdoors.
It is an immersive experience, with deep blacks, rich colors, and support of HDR10+ and Dolby 

Vision, watching videos, streaming Netflix, or playing games. The refresh rate of 120Hz provides extremely smooth scrolling and playing, which can really be experienced in everyday life. The display of the Poco F8 Ultra stands on its own, especially in terms of brightness and color saturation, compared to other competitors such as the OnePlus 15R or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5.

There are some minor shortcomings to the screen. Its curved edges can be accidentally touched, and the FHD+ resolution is very impressive, but is not as sharp as the actual 2K panel of certain flagship models.

These minor concerns notwithstanding, the display of the Poco F8 Ultra provides a close to flagship experience at a mid-range cost. Be it watching movies, or playing some high-end games or surfing the web, the clarity, brightness and smoothness makes daily usage a pleasure and this is one of the best features of this phone.

Camera

The camera is now one of the greatest features of a smartphone, and the Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra does not fail in this regard considering the price. The phone has a flexible triple rear camera system: 50 MP Sony IMX989 main sensor with f/1.7 aperture and OIS, 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 50 MP ultra-wide camera. It has a 32MP wide-angle selfie camera with a f/2.2 aperture on the front.

Daylight Photography:

The 50 MP main sensor is able to take clear and fine images during the day. Colors are natural, the dynamic range is balanced, and OIS allows keeping the shots sharp when recording a video. The Poco F8 Ultra stands its ground and even has a little better result in stabilization when recording videos compared to its competitors such as the OnePlus 15R or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5. The ultra-wide camera is good at landscapes and group shots, but the shots may be soft, particularly at the edges.

Low-Light Performance:

The primary sensor is still impressive in low-light situations. Even in poor light, night mode and OIS minimize blur and retain detail. Bright spots are managed well but some noise is observed in very dark places. The ultra-wide camera is less successful in low light, creating less sharp images.

The front camera is 32MP with a clear and lifelike selfie. The background is effectively blurred in the portrait mode, but since it does not have autofocus, there is a possibility that some shots are out of focus unless your hands are steady.

The Poco F8 Ultra is also good with video, up to 8K at 30 fps, 4K at 60 fps, and slow-motion at 960 fps. Videos are fluent and sharp, and OIS is an additional stabilizer. Food footage is clear and useful even without OIS, which is why it is a good option among content creators.

Although the ultra-wide camera is not very impressive, and the camera does not have a special macro sensor, the primary camera and the telephoto lens are outstanding. In general, the Poco F8 Ultra has a powerful camera system that provides high-quality photography, great video quality, and is not expensive enough, which is suitable both to the everyday user and the future creator.

Performance & Software

Next, we are going to discuss one of the most significant features of smartphone performance and software. The Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra runs on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.1 storage. The phone can manage all tasks without difficulties in everyday life, whether it is surfing social media or multitasking, gaming, and video editing. The apps open fast, the effects are smooth, and even the intensive games such as Genshin Impact or PUBG Mobile can be played on the highest settings.

The LiquidCool 4.0 system is one such feature that can be distinguished to make the phone cool even after extensive gaming. I did not observe any thermal throttling, which is evidently an advantage over other phones in this category like OnePlus 15R or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5.

The Poco F8 Ultra operates on HyperOS 3.0 on Android 16. The interface is responsive and clean, and it presents a lot of customization. It is light and fluid unlike the heavier skins, but there is still a bit of Xiaomi bloatware, although most of it is removable. The phone will offer two big Android updates and three years of security patches, which will provide long-term value.
Although the software experience is generally well-rounded, such minor problems as delays in notifications or theme glitches can be observed. Getting used to HyperOS may require some time in case you are used to another UI.

In general, the Poco F8 Ultra provides the flagship level of performance and refined software experience. Whether it is gaming or productivity, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, lots of RAM, and HyperOS 3.0 are a combination that will provide a smooth, reliable, and responsive performance that can easily perform any task.

AnTuTu Benchmark Score & Geekbench Score

Poco F8 Ultra scores an average of approximately 37,24,546 points in AnTuTu benchmark10 tests, and contributes well in CPU, GPU, memory, and UX categories. This makes it one of the best-performing Android devices in general synthetic performance and demonstrates the performance under heavy workloads of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

It has a single-core score of approximately 3550 and a multi-core score of approximately 10,880 on GeekBench 6, indicating superb raw processing performance on the low-end tasks, multi-user tasks, and demanding applications. 

Such standards are in line with the real-life experience, as applications start immediately, transitions are smooth, and even intensive resources, such as games and productivity tools, operate without any problems. Synthetic scores alone are not everything, but they prove that the Poco F8 Ultra is capable of performing as well as many more expensive flagship phones and provides you with speed and responsiveness in real-life situations.

Battery & Charger

The huge 6500 mAh battery of the Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra is an impressive feature because it can easily last a day of heavy use, including browsing, streaming, social media, and photography. During light days, it may go up to a day and half without a charge, which is perfect when the user depends on his phone during the day.

Another highlight is charging. The phone has 100W wired HyperCharge, which charges it between 5% and almost 80 percent in less than 25 minutes, and charges it completely in approximately 38-40 minutes. It also has 50W wireless charging, which charges 50 percent in approximately 31 minutes and 22.5W reverse wireless charging. The phone remains fairly cool when charging and this makes it more comfortable and safe.

The battery life and the charging speed of the Poco F8 Ultra is better than the competitors such as the Realme GT Neo 6 or OnePlus Nord CE 4. Although the lack of a specific wireless charging pad could be a disadvantage to others, the battery work, including the fast wired and wireless charging, is one of the strongest points of the phone. The massive battery does have some weight, however, it does not impact the daily usage.

Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra price in Bangladesh

The unofficial prices of the Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra in Bangladesh are approximately BDT 110,000 in the version with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. 

Compared to the other upper-middle and close-flagship phones at this price, it competes effectively, with a strong combination of performance, display, camera, and battery life that prove to be worth the investment. 

Given the specifications and the real-world performance, the Poco F8 Ultra can provide a good value to the users who do not want to spend flagship prices but still receive flagship-level specifications and practical performance.

Final Word

Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra is a beast that combines the performance of a flagship and the practicality of the real world. It has an impressive Snapdragon 8Elite Gen 5 processor, a vivid 6.9-inch AMOLED screen, a triple camera system, and a huge 6500mAh battery, which makes it a strong contender among gamers, content creators and regular users. Although it has minor limitations such as an ultra-wide camera and headphone jack, in general, Poco F8 Ultra can be described as an outstanding value, providing high-end functionality at a lower price.
