After multiple teasers and updates, Poco has finally made the Poco X8 Pro 5G official in India. It is joined by the Poco X8 Pro Max 5G and ships with a flagship killer Dimensity processor, a large battery, the latest OS update and more, packaged inside a compact form factor.
Poco X8 Pro 5G Specifications and Features
The Poco X8 Pro 5G ditches the plastic build of the Poco X7 Pro for a glass and metal sandwich. It now offers a more minimal and elegant look with red accents on the power button and camera rings.
Moreover, this is also the first Poco phone to feature a compact palm-friendly design with a 6.59-inch 1.5K display. However, this choice has not compromised the battery capacity and performance. It is packed with a respectable 6,500mAh capacity and is fueled by the flagship killer Dimensity 8500 Ultra processor (an overclocked model of the Dimensity 8500 chipset). The phone also gets several other key upgrades and here is a complete list of everything new with the Poco X8 Pro 5G:
