Audio Innovation: Sound by Bose
Setting a new standard for POCO devices, the F8 Ultra introduces a partnership with Bose for a transformative audio experience:
- 2.1-Channel Setup: The device boasts a unique three-speaker system, including a dedicated rear speaker that functions as a subwoofer. This is engineered by Bose to provide deep, impactful bass and premium, immersive audio clarity for media consumption and gaming.
