POCO F8 series smartphones launch in Hong Kong and Taiwan with varied specs and pricing

POCO introduced two flagship‑grade models in Hong Kong: the F8 Ultra priced at HK$4,999 and the X8 Pro Max at HK$3,099, creating a HK$1,900 price gap. The F8 Ultra is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, Bose dual speakers, a 50 MP main camera plus a 50 MP ultra‑wide lens and supports wireless charging. The X8 Pro Max trades a slightly lower‑end chip for a massive 8,500 mAh battery and 100 W wired fast‑charging, while retaining a 50 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultra‑wide lens.

In Taiwan, POCO promoted the F8 Pro, a model featuring “Sound by Bose” audio tuning, dual stereo speakers, a flagship‑class processor, high‑refresh‑rate AMOLED display, large battery and fast charging. The phone’s suggested retail price is NT$16,999, with a promotional discount to NT$15,290 at select retail locations.
