0:00Hello there, James here for Yugate and
0:02today we're doing something different.
0:04So, on top of our standard reviews,
0:06we're also going to make an additional
0:08type of video we call device
0:10walkthrough. This is where we purely
0:12check out the devices hardware and
0:13software features in a more hands-on
0:15point of view kind of thing. No opinions
0:17from us whatsoever. If you want to hear
0:19our thoughts about the device itself,
0:21feel free to watch our full review here
0:23on the channel. Now that settled, there
0:25will be no intros next time. So, here we
0:28go.
0:31First up, flashing on your screen, the
0:32full specs for the Poco F8 Pro. You may
0:35pause the video if you need more time to
0:37read through the specs. Now, let's look
0:39at the IO's.
0:46We have an IR blaster over here, hidden
0:49beside the LED flash. There's the dual
0:51SIM tray, but no micro SD card slot.
0:58Flipping over to front, it has a 6.59 in
1:01flat AMOLED display.
1:09Checking out the RM info, it is Widevine
1:11L1 certified.
1:13Here's a quick audio test of the Poco F8
1:16Pro sound by Bose.
1:33You should see me in a crowd.
1:36I'm kind of nothing to
1:46Next. Let's have a look at the software
1:48experience. This phone ships with Hyper
1:50OS3 built on Android 16.
2:04For biometrics, there's the usual face
2:06unlock alongside an ultrasonic
2:08fingerprint sensor.
2:18Here's
2:30how the lock screen and control center
2:32customizations look like.
2:57In case you missed it, Xiaomi also
2:59implemented its own take on Apple's
3:01dynamic island and they simply call it
3:04the Hyper Island.
3:44If you're curious about the phone's AI
3:45feature, Here you go.
4:11Now, let's check out its battery and
4:13charging features.
4:19Sadly, still no pass through or bypass
4:21charging here.
4:26Speaking of, the F8 Pro supports up to
4:29100 W of wired charging. No wireless
4:32charging here, though.
4:45There's eim support that the previous
4:47models lacked before.
4:54Now, let's test out its Wi-Fi connection
4:56speed.
5:14As for the cameras, the PO F8 Pro
5:16features a 15 megapixel main, a 50 megap
5:19telephoto, and an 8 megapixel ultrawide
5:22from the rear. For selfies, there's a 20
5:24megap sensor up front. Here's a bit of a
5:26camera tour for reference.
6:25Hey,
6:31hey,
6:34hey.
6:48Woo! Woo!
7:06Okay, this is another sample shot from
7:08the Poco F8 Pro uh Poco F8 Pro shooting
7:13at 1080p at 30 fps. So, what do you guys
7:16think? Uh this is the front camera. It's
7:20a 20 megap sensor. Now, let's take a
7:23look at some benchmarks results.
7:24Powering the PO F8 Pro is the Snapdragon
7:278 Elite. And in Ant2 version 10, it got
7:30a score of over 2.6 million.
7:51Of
8:04course, we're going to do a bit of
8:05gaming. And for that, we installed
8:07Shizuku and an FPS meter to have a
8:10better idea of how the phone performs.
8:13Our first game is CarX Drift Racing 2,
8:15and it ran consistently at 120 FPS at
8:18high graphics.
8:20Heat. Heat.
9:01Next up, Withering Waves hitting 60fps
9:04with maxed out graphics.
9:25Hey,
9:28hey, hey.
9:55Last but not least, we have Call of Duty
9:57Mobile, which was able to run at 120 FPS
10:00on all game modes.
