Poco, the Xiaomi sub-brand known for powerful budget phones, has taken a surprising new step: it has partnered with Bose to upgrade the audio experience on its latest Poco F8 series. In a market crowded with look-alike smartphones, Poco is trying to stand out by focusing on sound — and yes, one of the phones even includes a built-in subwoofer.
Supercharged Audio With Bose
Both the Poco F8 Pro and F8 Ultra come with dual stereo speakers tuned by Bose, promising clearer, richer, and more immersive audio.
But the real standout is the F8 Ultra, which also includes a Bose-powered subwoofer for deeper, punchier bass. Poco claims this gives the Ultra a sound quality that feels closer to a small speaker than a phone.
You also get two sound modes:
- Dynamic Mode – adds more bass and depth
- Balanced Mode – clearer vocals and a smooth soundstage
Bose says the partnership has allowed them to blend their audio engineering with Poco’s design to “redefine what’s possible in mobile sound.”

Advice for Readers
If you care about loud, rich, cinematic sound on your phone, the Poco F8 Ultra is a surprisingly bold option — the built-in subwoofer is a rare feature you won’t find in most smartphones. But if you want strong performance at a lower price, the F8 Pro still offers Bose-tuned audio and solid specs.
Before buying, consider:
- Do you really need the extra bass of the subwoofer?
- Is a bigger screen important for your usage?
- Is the price difference worth the upgrade to the Ultra?
If audio quality matters to you, this new Poco-Bose partnership might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
