Executive summary
Poco has combined its new F8 series with the Bose project. Bose's contribution to the F8 stereo speaker is significant. Bose engineers enhanced the phone by adding a new custom sound mode to the devices.
Analyst insight
Thanks to Poco's collaboration with Bose, the use of a physical subwoofer is a rare move in the mobile world and gives the phone a competitive edge. This is welcome news for multimedia and gaming users. Most competitors only offer dual stereo speakers; there is no solution at the subwoofer level. The adjustment made with Bose gives Poco a quality that leaves its competitors behind in the “sound-focused phone” category. Poco's goal is no longer performance but is now focused on user experience. It wants to differentiate itself in this context in the Android market.
