Designed around the demands of modern smartphone users, the new series brings together powerful performance, expansive displays, versatile cameras, large-capacity Silicon-Carbon batteries and robust durability, giving users the freedom to do more across work, entertainment and everyday life.
Whether it is moving between multiple apps during a busy workday, watching content on the commute, capturing moments while travelling, staying connected through a long day or simply spending more time away from a charger, the POCO X8 Series is built to handle it. Both smartphones feature a 1.5K AMOLED Display, Silicon-Carbon battery technology, fast charging, IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings, Corning®️ Gorilla®️ Victus®️ 2 and Five-Star Quality Certification from SGS and TÜV.
For Power That Keeps You Going
A smartphone that sits at the centre of the day needs to move easily between tasks. The POCO X8 is powered by the Snapdragon®️ 6s Gen 4 Mobile Platform, built on a 4nm process with CPU speeds of up to 2.4GHz, and comes with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. This combination is designed for everyday productivity – from switching between work apps and calls to browsing, navigation and entertainment.
For users with heavier everyday demands, the POCO X8 Power brings the India Debut of the Snapdragon®️ 6 Gen 5 Mobile Platform, with CPU speeds of up to 2.6GHz, up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The additional performance and memory make it suited to people who regularly juggle multiple applications, large files and content-heavy usage.
For Commutes, Couch Time and Everything in Between
From catching up on a series during a commute to scrolling through social feeds, viewing photos or getting through a presentation, the 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED Display gives both smartphones a large canvas for everyday viewing.
With 2772 × 1280 resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, 12-bit colour depth and up to 3500 nits peak brightness, the display is designed for comfortable viewing across different environments, while DCI-P3 wide colour gamut and TÜV Triple Eye Protection enhance the overall experience.
The POCO X8 Power takes entertainment further with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision®️, making compatible movies and shows more immersive. Both devices also feature stereo dual speakers with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio, with up to 300% volume boost on the X8 and 400% on the X8 Power.
For Travel Days and Moments Worth Capturing
A weekend away, a family gathering or an everyday moment can call for different ways to capture a scene. The POCO X8 combines a 50MP main camera with OIS, f/1.8 aperture and 5P lens with a 2MP depth camera. Features including Portrait Mode, HDR, Live Moments, Ultra HD Mode, Pro Mode and Dual Video give users flexibility across everyday photography, portraits and video. Its 16MP front camera also supports Portrait, HDR, Live Moments and AI Beautify.
For users who want greater flexibility when travelling or creating content, the POCO X8 Power pairs a 50MP OIS main camera with an f/1.5 aperture and 6P lens with an 8MP ultrawide camera. Auto Scene Detection and 2X in-sensor ultra-clear zoom make it easier to approach different subjects and perspectives, while 4K video recording at 30fps on both the rear and 32MP front cameras gives creators more room to capture and share.
For the Days You Don’t Want to Think About Charging
Long commutes, travel, navigation, calls, streaming and content creation can quickly turn battery life into a daily concern. The POCO X8 addresses this with a 9000mAh Silicon-Carbon battery, supported by the Xiaomi Surge G1 Battery Management Chip, alongside 67W Xiaomi HyperCharge and 22.5W wired reverse charging with a 67W charger in box.
The POCO X8 Power is built for those who want even greater endurance, with a 10,000mAh Silicon-Carbon battery, 100W Xiaomi HyperCharge and 27W wired reverse charging. Whether heading out for a full day of travel, spending hours consuming content or using the phone extensively for work and communication, its larger battery is designed to reduce the need to constantly look for a power socket. The device also includes a 100W charger in the box.
For Life That Doesn’t Always Happen Indoors
Smartphones travel everywhere – into busy commutes, outdoor environments, trips and unpredictable everyday situations. The POCO X8 Series is built with this in mind, with Corning®️ Gorilla®️ Victus®️ 2, IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings, and Five-Star Quality Certification from SGS and TÜV.
