About the POCO F8 Ultra Black 12 GB 256 GB
POCO F8 Ultra Black 12 GB 256 GB is listed in the mobile phones category. The recorded configuration includes internal memory: 12 GB; internal storage capacity: 256 GB; product colour: Black; operating system installed: Xiaomi HyperOS 3 (manufacturer specification). This listing uses cor configuration reference COR-POCO-F8-ULTRA-12GB-256GB-BLACK-GB. Specifications come from the linked manufacturer or UK retailer record.
The 6.9 inches (approximately 6.85 inches full rectangle) display is specified at 2608 x 1200. Consider these together: a larger screen provides more physical space, while resolution determines the number of pixels available. Neither specification establishes brightness, colour accuracy or motion quality.
The listed maximum refresh rate is Up to 120 Hz. A higher refresh rate can make scrolling and supported games look smoother. The rate used depends on the app and display settings, and can affect battery life.
This configuration lists 12 GB of memory and 256 GB of storage. Memory supports active applications; storage holds software and files. Check upgradeability separately, because a capacity figure does not establish whether either component can be replaced.
