For years, Poco phones have been about raw performance at a fair price — speed first, cameras later. But the upcoming Poco F8 Ultra, the global version of the Redmi K90 Pro, might finally change that.
New leaks suggest Poco is going all-in on photography this time, with a triple 50MP camera system that could make it the brand’s first true flagship-level shooter.
Triple 50MP Setup: A Big Step Up
According to reliable tipsters, the F8 Ultra will feature three 50MP sensors — something even many premium phones don’t offer.
- Main camera: 50MP OVX9500 (~1/1.3″) sensor with OIS, likely shared with the Xiaomi 17 series.
- Periscope telephoto: 50MP Samsung JN5 (1/2.76″) with higher optical zoom and support for telephoto macro shots.
- Ultra-wide: 50MP OV50M (1/2.88″) for a wider field of view.
Three 50MP lenses across the board — that’s rare in this price range. It hints that Poco wants balanced image quality, not just a single great sensor.
Design and Camera Layout
Early renders show a large circular camera module, much like the Xiaomi 17 Pro. It looks clean, bold, and undeniably premium. The periscope lens sits at the bottom of the circle, with the main and ultra-wide lenses above it — a layout that clearly says “flagship.”
What to Expect from Image Quality
Given the hardware, the F8 Ultra should deliver noticeable improvements in everyday shooting.
✅ Low-light photos could look cleaner thanks to that large main sensor.
✅ The periscope lens should bring sharper zoomed shots and macro versatility.
✅ Xiaomi’s updated AI processing may help balance exposure and detail.
Still, Poco’s cameras have sometimes struggled with overdone HDR and skin smoothing, so fans will be watching to see if HyperOS finally fixes those quirks.
How It Stacks Up
On paper, the F8 Ultra’s camera setup could rival heavy hitters like the OnePlus 13R, iQOO 13 Pro, and Realme GT Neo 7 Pro. That’s a big deal — it might be the first Poco phone that truly competes with flagship imaging rivals.
Other Rumored Specs
The rest of the package sounds just as impressive:
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip
- 7,000 mAh battery
- 120Hz AMOLED display
- Up to 16GB RAM / 1TB storage
If those specs hold true, the F8 Ultra will easily earn its place among 2025’s top “value flagships.”
Final Thoughts
It seems Poco is finally ready to balance power with polish. If leaks from Digital Chat Station and Notebookcheck prove right, the Poco F8 Ultra (Redmi K90 Pro) could redefine what midrange camera phones are capable of in 2025.
