Poco F8 Pro Retail Box Leak Reveals ‘Sound by Bose’ Branding, No Charger in the Box

Poco F8 Pro Retail Box Leak Hints at Bose Audio Partnership and No In-Box Charger

The Poco F8 Pro appears to be nearing its global debut, including a likely launch in India. A recent leak has revealed an image of the smartphone’s retail packaging, hinting at some of its key features and surprising omissions. The upcoming device will succeed the Poco F7 Pro and is rumored to arrive as the global variant of the Redmi K90, which was recently introduced in China. Early reports suggest the handset will feature a 6.59-inch OLED display and be powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, promising top-tier performance.

The leaked image, shared by reliable tipster Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) on X (formerly Twitter), showcases the Poco F8 Pro’s retail box. One of the most eye-catching details is the “Sound by Bose” branding printed on the packaging. This marks a major new partnership between Poco and Bose, mirroring the audio collaboration seen in Xiaomi’s Redmi K90 series. The association hints at a significant audio upgrade for Poco’s F series, potentially offering more refined sound quality for music, calls, and media playback.

However, the leak also reveals a detail that might disappoint some users — the Poco F8 Pro may not ship with a charger in the box. If accurate, this would be a notable departure from the Poco F7 Pro, which included a 90W fast charger. Interestingly, even the China-exclusive Redmi K90, which the F8 Pro is expected to mirror, includes a charger. Poco could be following a growing industry trend of removing chargers from retail packaging, possibly to reduce electronic waste and packaging costs.

Despite this omission, the Poco F8 Pro is shaping up to be a powerful contender in the flagship killer segment, with premium features and top-end hardware. If the leaks are accurate, the combination of Snapdragon 8 Elite performance, a vibrant OLED display, and Bose-tuned audio could make it one of the most compelling Poco devices yet. With its launch expected soon, fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation and a first look at the company’s next big release.
