When we talk about POCO, we're talking about one thing: disrupting the industry. The term "flagship killer" was practically invented for the F series. And now, get ready, because the new generation is about to change the game... in two very drastic ways.
A bombshell announcement just leaked today, November 7, 2025: the highly anticipated POCO F8 Pro isn't just coming to compete in terms of power, but now it also aims to dominate the sound market. But with this incredible news comes the biggest controversy in POCO's history.
This is the announcement of a premium collaboration with **Bose** and, at the same time, the **goodbye to the charger in the box** for the Pro model.
Is POCO maturing and becoming a "premium" brand like Apple or Samsung? Or is it betraying its original philosophy? As the leading store in Chile where you can buy the POCO F8 and F8 Pro , we've prepared the most in-depth 1500-word analysis of what this double announcement means for you.
The Leap into High-End Audio
Let's start with the most exciting news. The POCO F series has always had good stereo speakers, but they've never been its strongest point. They used to be merely "okay." That's over now.
The leak confirms a strategic collaboration: "Sound by Bose." This isn't just a simple logo on the casing. Bose is one of the most respected and legendary brands in the audio world. They are known for their acoustic engineering, noise cancellation, and above all, their deep, defined, and distortion-free bass.
What does this mean for the POCO F8 Pro?
- Immersive Audio: We expect that Bose engineers have worked not only on the physical speakers, but also on the software (EQ, signal processing) to create a much wider soundstage.
- Rich Bass: The weak point of mobile phones is physics: there's no room for bass. Bose's magic could achieve a "bigger" and more powerful sound than the phone's size allows.
- Competitive Advantage: This puts the F8 Pro in direct competition with iPhones and Galaxy S Ultra phones in terms of multimedia consumption. Watching movies, playing games, or listening to music without headphones will be a top-tier experience.
It's a brilliant move. POCO is attacking where its price competitors (like Realme or Motorola) can't compete: the prestige of a luxury audio brand.
Goodbye to the charger on the POCO F8 Pro
And now, the news that will set the internet ablaze. The same report that confirms the Bose deal also confirms that the POCO F8 Pro will NOT include a charger in the box .
It's a shock. POCO, the brand that used to laugh at Apple and Samsung. The brand that made a point of including 67W, 90W, or even 120W chargers as part of its value proposition.
Before we light the torches, let's analyze the "why".
1. The Environmental Argument: This is the official excuse. Smaller boxes mean more phones per pallet, reducing the carbon footprint of shipping. And yes, many of us already have one (or more) fast chargers at home.
2. "Premiumization": With the added cost of the Bose license and hardware, POCO has to cut costs somewhere to keep the F8's price down. The charger is the prime suspect. This signals that the F8 Pro is moving upmarket.
3. The Market Trend: Let's be honest, it was inevitable. Apple did it, Samsung followed suit, and so did Google. POCO is simply the last domino to fall.
Which Charger Will You Need for Your POCO F8 Pro? (The Solution)
This is where this news becomes crucial for your purchase. The POCO F8 Pro will support Xiaomi/POCO's highest charging speeds (likely 90W or 120W HyperCharge).
Attention! Using your old 33W charger or a generic Samsung charger won't give you those speeds. To charge your F8 Pro from 0 to 100% in under 25 minutes, you'll need an original Xiaomi/POCO charger compatible with those power levels.
Don't worry. At [Your Shopify Store Name], we don't just sell you the phone. We have the complete ecosystem. Along with your POCO F8 Pro, you can add the **official 120W charger** (or 90W charger) with its 6A cable to your cart to unleash its full power.
POCO F8 vs. POCO F8 Pro (The Dilemma)
This news also clarifies POCO's new strategy. The segmentation between the standard and Pro models will be greater than ever.
POCO F8: The Traditional "Flagship Killer"
The standard POCO F8 will be the phone for brand purists. According to the source, this model **WILL keep the charger in the box** (likely a 67W or 90W charger).
To achieve a lower price, it will sacrifice Bose sound (it will have standard stereo speakers) and use a slightly less powerful, but still high-end, processor (likely the rumored Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 or a Dimensity 9400). It will still be a performance beast, but without the "premium" luxuries.
POCO F8 Pro: The "Premium Killer"
The POCO F8 Pro moves up. It's for the user who wants maximum power (it will almost certainly have the **Snapdragon 8 Gen 4**), the best multimedia experience (Bose sound), and the best cameras, but who understands (or accepts) the new industry standard of buying the charger separately.
| Feature | POCO F8 (Rumor) | POCO F8 Pro (Confirmed/Rumor) |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (or similar) | Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 |
| Sound | Standard Stereo | Sound by Bose |
| Charger in Box | Yes (67W or 90W) | Not Included |
| Supported Load | 90W (Estimated) | 120W (Estimated) |
| Cameras | High-end (Sony IMX) | High-End-Premium (Telephoto Lens) |
| Ideal User | Purist (Power/Price) | Enthusiastic (Power + Experience) |
Other Specifications (What We Expect from the POCO F8 Pro)
Although today's news focuses on audio and the charger, the POCO F8 Pro will be the successor to the F7 Pro and likely the global twin of the (future) Redmi K80 Pro. Based on this, we can expect:
- Screen: A state-of-the-art 1.5K or 2K AMOLED panel, with LTPO technology, 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness exceeding 2500 nits.
- Battery: A capacity of 5000 to 5500 mAh. A 120W charger (sold separately) would fully charge it in about 20-22 minutes.
- Cameras: A 1-inch or similar main sensor (Sony IMX 9-series), a high-resolution wide-angle lens, and hopefully a 3x optical telephoto lens, which would make it the most versatile POCO ever.
- Construction: We expect Bose's "premium leap" to come with a metal frame and glass back, abandoning the plastic of previous generations.
Is the "Flagship Killer" dead?
No. It hasn't died. It has evolved.
POCO understands that the market has split in two. The standard POCO F8 will take the throne as the original "Flagship Killer": raw power at the lowest possible price, with the magazine in the box and no unnecessary frills.
The POCO F8 Pro becomes something new: a "Premium Killer". A phone that isn't afraid to cost a little more to offer an audio experience (Bose) and power (Snapdragon 8 Gen 4) that competes with €1,200 phones, adopting their same rules (no charger).
The choice is yours. Do you want the original POCO philosophy? The F8 is the phone for you. Do you want the ultimate expression of POCO, competing in the big leagues? The F8 Pro is the answer (and just remember to add the charger to your cart).
