Privacy controls include clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not present. Productivity features cover full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, Live Text, sharing intents, customizable notifications, notification permissions, a child lock, app offloading, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. On-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, and voice commands are all supported, and the system includes phone tracking and a battery health check; Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, and Quick Start are not available, and OS updates do not come directly from the platform vendor.

The Poco F8 Pro houses a rechargeable 6210 mAh battery that supports 100W wired fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. The battery is non-removable and does not support wireless charging or reverse wireless charging. A battery level indicator is built into the system for monitoring charge status.

The Poco F8 Pro includes stereo speakers and a triple-microphone setup, but does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack or a built-in radio. Bluetooth audio codec support is broad, covering aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and LDAC, though aptX Lossless is not available.

The Poco F8 Pro supports 5G cellular connectivity alongside dual-SIM capability, and wireless networking covers Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, and 7, with download speeds reaching 10000 MBits/s and upload speeds up to 3500 MBits/s. Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC are both present, while the USB Type-C port operates at USB 3.1; there is no external memory slot, HDMI output, or DLNA certification. Onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, barometer, GPS with Galileo support, and an infrared sensor, and the device has a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication; 3D facial recognition, an iris scanner, a heart rate monitor, ANT+ support, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are all absent. Crash detection and emergency SOS via satellite are also not supported, and no stylus is included.

The Poco F8 Pro includes a video light for recording in low-light conditions, while its display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
