    Poco M8 Review

    shot of a hand holding the Poco M8 in black colourway in front of a yellow gradient background

    The Poco M8 looks great, offers a curved AMOLED screen, solid battery life, and fast charging. But its ageing chipset, average single camera, and cluttered HyperOS hold it back immensely. It is easily outmatched by its competitors in the segment, and feels like a weak entry into 2026 from the brand. It can be a decent buy, but only if it is heavily discounted; else there area a ton of better balanced phones out there.

    Pros

    • Lightweight and slim
    • Decent water protection
    • Bright AMOLED panel
    • All-day battery life
    • Daylight shots come out great

    Cons

    • Lacks ultra-wide camera
    • Lots of bloatware in the UI
    • Stereo speakers sound shrill and hollow
