But ever wondered what&#8217;s inside, especially with the built-in subwoofer? Well, the guys at PBKreviews have done a complete teardown showing off the internals, and there are some interesting findings.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with repairability. Previous Poco F generations have been criticized for being hard to repair, but the F8 Ultra appears to have improved on that aspect. Still, it&#8217;s not the easiest phone repair, especially with the stacked components and plenty of adhesive.<\/p>\n<p>Build quality-wise, we see nothing out of the ordinary. The middle aluminum frame is structurally reinforced inside, and so is the area around the camera island.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of, the subwoofer is placed beneath the camera bump.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the battery isn&#8217;t easy to access. It&#8217;s buried beneath dozens of components.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, the teardown video also shows the thermal pads and copper shield layers around the SoC and battery.  In other words, it&#8217;s business as usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Poco F8 Ultra sits atop the Poco portfolio, offering solid all-around performance at a sub-flagship price.
