POCO F8 Pro Gets a Rs. 5,000 Price Hike: Now Crosses the Rs. 1,00,000 Mark

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The POCO F8 Pro price in Nepal is Rs. 1,04,999 (12/512GB).
  • Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor powers the F8 Pro.
  • It features a 6,210mAh battery with 100W fast charging.

The POCO F8 Pro was one of POCO’s strongest launches this year. It packed flagship-grade hardware at a competitive price, making it a genuine rival to last year’s flagship, the Galaxy S25. But just like the M8 and X8 Pro series before it, the F8 Pro has now become more expensive too.

Ever since the F8 Pro landed in Nepal, POCO has expanded its lineup with the X and M series. Yet, the F8 Pro continues to sit near the top of POCO’s portfolio. With the price hike, let’s see whether the hardware still makes a strong case for itself.

POCO F8 Pro Overview

With a 6.59-inch display, the POCO F8 Pro isn’t the biggest phone on the block, but it’s far from compact either. It sits right in that sweet middle ground, making it comfortable to use one-handed without feeling bulky.

Compared to last year’s F7 Pro, the phone has actually gone slightly smaller. POCO has also ditched the circular camera module and switched to a more iPhone-like camera plateau. Other than that, the overall design remains familiar: a flat body, aluminium frame, and a glass back.

Up front, you’re greeted by an AMOLED panel. The bezels here are impressively thin, just 1.5mm on the sides, with the bottom chin measuring 1.68mm. On paper, that sounds uneven, but in real-world use, the display looks almost perfectly symmetrical.

This is a 1.5K resolution panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, and POCO has pushed brightness even further this year. High Brightness Mode is now 200 nits brighter, topping out at 2,000 nits, while peak brightness goes all the way up to 3,500 nits, making outdoor visibility a non-issue.

Audio is another pleasant surprise. The stereo speakers support Dolby Atmos and are tuned by BOSE, which is not something you usually see at this price point.

Powering the POCO F8 Pro is last year’s flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite (also known as 8 Gen 4 or 8 Elite Gen 4). As for trims, it comes with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage in Nepal, even though lower variants are available elsewhere in the world.

Cameras are where POCO has made one of its biggest upgrades. The F8 Pro now gets a 50MP telephoto lens with 2.5x optical zoom. For a phone in this price segment, having a dedicated telephoto lens is a very welcome addition. The rest of the setup remains unchanged, with a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, it has a 20MP camera.

Battery life also sees a modest bump. The phone now packs a 6,210mAh battery, 210mAh larger than last year, paired with blazing-fast 100W charging. And according to Xiaomi, it charges from 0-100% in 37 minutes, and it even supports 22.5W reverse charging. Lastly, out of the box, it runs the latest Android 16 with HyperOS 3 layered on top.

The POCO F8 Pro delivers solid specs across the board. From the display to the processor, everything feels dialled in, and at this price point, it goes head-to-head with 2025’s Samsung flagship base model—the Galaxy S25.

And when you look purely at the spec sheet, the F8 Pro actually comes out on top in most areas. It runs the same flagship processor, offers a better telephoto camera, packs a much larger battery, and supports significantly faster charging.

As such, the POCO F8 Pro looks like a very compelling deal even with this price bump.
