The major Summer Sale from POCO brings significant discounts and several bestselling smartphones competing for buyers’ attention. However, it’s worth taking a closer look before making a decision, as each model is designed for a different audience and set of priorities.

During the promotion, POCO is offering discounts across multiple price segments, allowing every customer to find the most suitable option. The sale will run on AliExpress until June 16.
TABLE OF CONTENTS:
POCO F8 Pro
POCO F8 Pro delivers flagship-level performance thanks to the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor built on Qualcomm’s custom Oryon architecture. It features a configuration of two ultra-performance cores and six performance cores clocked at up to 4.3GHz. The upgraded Adreno 830 GPU boosts rendering performance by 40%. At the same time, the platform remains highly power-efficient and easily handles demanding workloads, AI tasks, and gaming. Even under maximum load, titles such as Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail run smoothly and consistently. The smartphone achieved an AnTuTu benchmark score of 3,284,129 points.
The device is equipped with three speakers: left, right, and a dedicated low-frequency unit, creating a surround-like audio experience. POCO F8 Pro features a 6,210mAh battery that supports 100W fast charging and reaches a full charge in just 30 minutes. On the front, there is a 6.59-inch HyperRGB AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness reaches 3,500 nits, ensuring excellent visibility even under direct sunlight. Meanwhile, ultra-low 1-nit brightness provides comfortable viewing in dark environments. The display also supports DC Dimming technology, maintaining stable brightness and minimizing flicker during extended use.
The F8 Pro features a triple-camera system consisting of a 50MP main sensor, an ultra-wide lens, and a 60mm telephoto camera. The Light Hunter 800 sensor captures 30% more light, delivering more accurate colors and improved detail. The 60mm telephoto lens supports 2.5x optical zoom and OIS, while the ultra-wide camera offers a broader field of view with minimal distortion.
Running on Xiaomi HyperOS 3, POCO F8 Pro delivers a smarter and smoother user experience thanks to Xiaomi HyperIsland, Xiaomi HyperConnect, and Xiaomi HyperAI. For creativity and productivity, Xiaomi HyperAI provides advanced tools, including AI Writing. AI Agent further expands the smartphone’s AI capabilities.
The smartphone is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for use in rainy conditions. Available in Titanium Silver, Black, and Blue, the model is offered with an especially attractive Summer Sale deal. POCO provides a $69 discount, while AliExpress offers an additional $65 in platform savings. As a result, the F8 Pro is available starting at $475.

The new Adreno GPU architecture boosts graphics performance by 23%. As a result, the smartphone achieved an AnTuTu benchmark score of 3,944,934 points. Cooling is handled by LiquidCool Technology, which includes a dual-layer 3D IceLoop system with a 6,700mm² cooling area and a dual-loop structure that also accounts for heat generated by the camera module.
POCO and Bose jointly developed a premium triple-speaker system based on a 2.1-channel architecture, overcoming the limitations of a compact smartphone design. The system combines two symmetrical speakers with a subwoofer, and thanks to Sound by Bose technology, it delivers powerful bass, detailed sound, and clear vocals. The F8 Ultra offers two Bose-tuned audio profiles: Dynamic, featuring deep and natural bass, and Balanced, focused on cleaner vocals and a more even soundstage.
On the rear, the POCO F8 Ultra features a triple-camera setup led by a 50MP Light Fusion 950 sensor with OIS. It delivers detailed photos with balanced highlights and shadows even in high-contrast scenes, sunset photography, and nighttime portraits. The smartphone also includes a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom and 20x UltraZoom. It captures sharp long-distance images and supports macro photography from as close as 30cm. Motion Capture intelligently adapts to moving subjects, while Super Moon Mode automatically activates at 20x zoom. The 32MP front camera features a smart 0.8x wide-angle mode.
The F8 Ultra comes equipped with a 6.9-inch POCO HyperRGB display. The display consumes 19.5% less power than the screen used in the POCO F7 Ultra, while text appears sharper in e-book mode. The display adapts to virtually any lighting condition, reaching a peak brightness of 3,500 nits. DC Dimming technology also helps reduce eye strain. F8 Ultra features a 6,500mAh battery, the largest ever used in the POCO F Series. A single charge provides more than 15 hours of continuous use.

An intelligent charging system monitors device temperature and dynamically adjusts charging speed based on battery level, temperature, and app usage.
POCO F8 Ultra runs Xiaomi HyperOS 3, delivering a smooth user experience through Xiaomi HyperIsland, Xiaomi HyperConnect, and Xiaomi HyperAI. The latter enhances creativity and productivity with tools such as AI Writing. AI Agent supports deep search, image and video generation, Gemini Live, and more. Connectivity features are expanded through eSIM support. Summer Sale is the perfect opportunity to save on the F8 Ultra, as POCO offers a $70 discount and the platform provides an additional $65 reduction.
POCO X7 Pro
POCO X7 Pro became the first smartphone powered by the 4nm Dimensity 8400-Ultra processor, allowing it to stand out in its price segment with an AnTuTu score of 1,704,330 points. The device comes with Xiaomi HyperOS 2, delivering a faster, smarter, and smoother user experience. X7 Pro features a 6,000mAh battery capable of providing up to 14.5 hours of continuous use and supports 90W fast charging. As a result, a full charge takes only 42 minutes. According to the brand, the battery retains 90% of its original capacity even after 1,000 full charging cycles.
The redesigned camera module gives the X7 Pro a distinctive look inspired by a racetrack. The smartphone features a 50MP main sensor with OIS that minimizes camera shake and helps capture professional-grade photos. Thanks to its larger f/1.5 aperture, the Sony IMX882 sensor gathers significantly more light, delivering excellent image quality both in daylight and low-light conditions.
On the front, there is a 6.67-inch CrystalRes AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen reaches a peak brightness of 3,200 nits and offers a 2,560Hz touch sampling rate. Thanks to three TÜV Rheinland eye-care certifications, 16,000 brightness adjustment levels, and PWM dimming, the POCO X7 Pro remains comfortable to use even during extended sessions. The display also supports Wet Touch technology. Additionally, the smartphone is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i and is the first device in POCO’s history to receive an IP68 rating.
During the promotion, the POCO X7 Pro is available with a $35 discount using the LTBY40 promo code.
POCO M8
POCO M8 doesn’t try to compete with flagship models in terms of performance; instead, it focuses on delivering a smooth and comfortable everyday user experience at an affordable price. The combination of a 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, slim curved design, and a 5,520mAh battery already makes it stand out from the average device in its segment.
Its performance is more than sufficient for social media, video streaming, messaging, navigation, and casual gaming. The display remains one of the strongest selling points, offering not only an AMOLED panel but also eye-care features that improve long-term comfort. At the same time, the POCO M8 does not look or feel like a budget device. It features a slim 7.35mm body, curved design, and IP66 protection.
Of course, there are compromises. Camera capabilities are more modest, gaming performance trails behind the X Series models, and heavy multitaskers will eventually notice the difference. Nevertheless, the smartphone remains a dependable device capable of handling the tasks most people use every day. And don’t forget the Summer Sale deal. With the SSUA35 promo code, buyers can receive a $35 discount, bringing the final price of the POCO M8 down to $214.
As a reminder, the Summer Sale on AliExpress will continue until June 16.
