For years, the brand Little bit It has been synonymous with “matagiants” in the mid-range. Today, from Bali, the company has decided that it no longer wants to kill giants; He wants to become one. With the global launch of LITTLE F8 ULTRA and LITTLE F8 PRO, the brand officially enters the territory PREMIUM, and it does so with an unexpected ally in the audio: Bose.
Poco F8 Ultra: The Ultimate Flagship Killer
The Ultra model is far from a simple incremental improvement; It comes as a true declaration of power. In terms of performance, it incorporates the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 next to a dedicated chip VisionBoost D8, achieving a score in antutu which exceeds 3.9 million. However, what is really remarkable is not the figure, but the integration of “AI Super Resolution” technology, capable of scaling the games to 1.5K and maintaining 120fps stably. Added to this is a 6500mAh battery, the largest in the entire series with 100W fast charging. The result is a device prepared for long days of play without suffering thermal throttling, thanks to its cooling system Iceloop 3D.
One of the most unexpected announcements was the integration of the “Sound by Bose” certification in the new series. In a market where audio is usually relegated to the background, especially in devices oriented to gaming or pure performance, this collaboration poses a significant change. For years, power-focused phones have offered functional speakers but without real quality: high volume, yes, but little fidelity and almost no sound spatiality. Little says he’s ready to break that pattern.
The Alliance with Bose: Marketing or Reality?
the incorporation of Bose It is not a minor detail. The American brand is recognized worldwide for its obsession with acoustic engineering, and its history of collaborations with smartphone manufacturers is extremely selective. This gives weight to the promise of Little bit, offer an audio system different from what is usually seen in the mid-high range and, above all, in gaming focus phones.
The speaker system is different depending on the model: double horn in the main variants and a triple speaker system in the Ultra model. But what really draws attention is that, according to Little bit, the calibration of these modules was done together with the engineers of Bose. This certification could translate into a more balanced sound signature, with deeper bass, clearer channel separation and a substantial improvement in voice and effects perception. This not only benefits players, but also those who consume multimedia content, whether it be music, movies or series.
POCO F8 Pro: The King of Equilibrium returns
While the Ultra looks for the headlines, the LITTLE F8 PRO It’s the one that will probably end up in your pocket. with a starting price $10,999 MXN, keeps the same processor Snapdragon® 8 Elite Let his older brother, but cut into strategic aspects like the camera (although he adds a very welcome 2.5x telephoto) and the battery size (6210mAh, which is still monstrous).
What is interesting here is the design. little abandons the plastic for a One-piece milled glass body and IP68 resistance. This elevates the feeling in hand, moving away from the perception of “powerful cheap phone” that the previous models had.
Verdict: The end of the “mid-range” for little
The F8 series Not only marks a technical leap; marks a change of identity. Little bit No longer looking to be the “best cheap phone”. Now it aspires to be the best phone, regardless of the segment. Her value proposition remains strong, but now accompanies her with premium design, internationally renowned alliances and a more mature approach.
This movement inevitably reopens the old debate:
Can it continue to be called “value-price” when its models are already around $11,000 MXN? Or is this simply the natural price of its evolution?
