EDITORIAL: Released on Jun 12th, 2025 the Pura 80 Pro is a slightly downgraded version of the Pro+. These two share the same size body, processor, battery, charging, screen, element protection, selfie and even software with the mighty Pura 80 Ultra. Difference is just in phone colors and the back camera tech: this Pro features a 1 inch sensor 50MP OIS PDAF main + 48MP PDAF telephoto + 40MP AF ultrawide while it's more expensive siblings have better imaging hardware. Still, expect some outstanding photos from it.
PROs
premium build, sub-45min 100W (80W wireless) charging, LTPO OLED screen, IP69 protection, excellent photography from a 50MP 23mm 1" OIS PDAF main + 48MP 93mm OIS PDAF tele + 40MP 13mm AF ultrawide, excellent 13MP 21mm PDAF selfie, full desktop replacement feature, fast USB-C 3.1 with OTG and Display Port 1.2 and a great sounding stereo speaker setup
CONs
219g heavy and built like a tank, mediocre (7nm) Kirin 9020 performance, only 24hr endurance from a 5170mAh old tech lithium battery (5700mAh China version lasts longer), ~1100nits of max brightness, gone is the memory expansion slot, uncertain software future of an OS based on Android 12 with limited (or difficult) access to Google apps

EDITORIAL: Another Ultra phone from Poco brings updates but also some downgrades to excellent F7 Ultra. F8 Ultra advantage of being a cheap flagship phone is fading with higher pricing and exposing it to last year’s best phones of the same price. Still, it offers top processor with fastest memory, great endurance and screen (tho non-LTPO) and solid performance main and periscope tele cameras. Bose partnered to create the first 2.1 sound on a phone – standard two channels that add a woofer speaker located in the camera island. It produces excellent sound.
PROs
top SD 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS4.1 performance, 36hr battery endurance from 6500mAh battery with sub-60min 100W (40W wireless) charging, good sub-420ppi AMOLED with Dolby Vision (tho non-LTPO and with sub-1100nits brightness), IP68 protection. many great pics from 50MP 23mm OIS PDAF main + 50MP 115mm PDAF periscope telephoto + 50MP 18mm ultrawide back cameras, up to 5 years of OS updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG and Display Out and excellent sound co-designed with Bose
CONs
almost 3mm wider then F7 Ultra, heavier too, poor performance under prolonged maximum load (gets very hot too). mediocre 32MP 21mm selfie, mediocre video recording, no expandable memory, lacking in advanced AI tricks competitors have and no desktop replacement functionality
