Poco Indonesia has officially confirmed that the Poco F8 Series will be available in the Indonesian market starting February 4, 2026. This announcement, made on January 29 in Jakarta, marks the debut of what Poco calls the “UltraPower Ascended” era, positioning the new flagship lineup as high-performance smartphones designed to meet the demands of power users, especially gamers.
The company emphasized the Poco F8 Series as its latest "True Flagship" offering under the #POCONYABERAKSI campaign. This initiative aims to strengthen the F Series’ reputation for delivering top-tier performance, targeting users who prioritize intensive gaming and heavy computational tasks on mobile devices. Novita Krisutami, PR Manager of Poco Indonesia, described the UltraPower Ascended concept as a core design philosophy that maximizes smartphone performance potential.
Two Main Models with Distinct Hardware Configurations
The Poco F8 Series comprises two main variants: the Poco F8 Ultra and the Poco F8 Pro. Each model features distinct hardware tailored to different high-performance needs. The Poco F8 Ultra stands out with its dual chipset configuration that combines Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with an additional VisionBoost D8 chip. This hybrid architecture is engineered to boost graphics performance and enhance stability for gaming at the highest visual settings.
Supporting extended use, the Poco F8 Ultra houses a large 6,500 mAh battery. It also supports advanced fast charging technologies, including 100W HyperCharge via cable and 50W Wireless HyperCharge. These features underline Poco’s focus on delivering superior user mobility, ensuring rapid recharge times whether on the go or at home.
In contrast, the Poco F8 Pro uses a single Snapdragon 8 Elite processor paired with proprietary WildBoost Optimization software. This combination is designed to maintain stable frame rates and responsive system performance during prolonged gaming sessions or resource-heavy applications. It also includes a sizeable 6,210 mAh battery and employs LiquidCool Technology, an advanced cooling system that dissipates processor heat to keep the device temperature under control.
Enhanced Audio-Visual Experience
Poco extends the UltraPower Ascended approach beyond just performance. The F8 Series benefits from a collaboration with Bose Technology to deliver superior sound quality. Bose’s expertise in acoustic engineering aims to improve sound clarity and audio detail precision, providing an immersive auditory experience for users.
On the display front, Poco equips these devices with its Poco HyperRGB AMOLED screen. This panel boasts high color accuracy and enhanced sharpness through refined sub-pixel arrangements. Notably, the series debuts globally with the M10 display panel, which offers better light efficiency. This advancement reduces power consumption by approximately 11.4% compared to previous generations, contributing to longer battery life without compromising visual quality.
Positioning in the Competitive Indonesian Market
The launch of Poco F8 Series aligns with the brand’s strategy to strengthen its foothold in Indonesia’s increasingly competitive high-performance smartphone segment. The country’s market is witnessing growing demand for flagship and upper mid-range devices capable of running demanding mobile games and AI-based applications efficiently.
Price details and distribution channels will be disclosed closer to the launch date. Poco encourages consumers to monitor its official Indonesian communication platforms for the latest updates.
