Poco partners with Bose to put a subwoofer in its latest phone — and it’s one of the boldest audio upgrades we’ve seen on a smartphone in years. Many users are now asking: How good is the bass? What makes the Poco F8 Ultra different? Is Bose actually tuning the audio?
Poco’s big move brings Bose-tuned stereo speakers to both the F8 Pro and F8 Ultra, but the Ultra takes it further with a dedicated subwoofer. This third driver adds noticeably deeper, more impactful bass—something rarely seen in phones. Bose engineers also created two custom audio modes: Dynamic for heavier bass and Balanced for clearer vocals.
The brand wants to stand out in a crowded smartphone market by focusing on premium sound. With Bose’s acoustic engineering and Poco’s hardware design, the F8 series aims to deliver richer clarity, stronger low-end output, and a listening experience closer to portable speakers than typical phone audio.
Yes—according to Poco, the subwoofer adds fuller depth and punch that standard stereo speakers can’t match. While both models share Bose-tuned stereo drivers, only the Ultra benefits from a dedicated bass channel designed for music lovers, gamers, and heavy media users who want immersive audio without accessories.
