POCO, a leading technology brand among young tech enthusiasts, today introduced POCO X8 — an endurance ace featuring longer battery life, a larger display, and an enhanced user experience designed to keep users powered, entertained, and connected all day and beyond.
Exceptional Endurance for Everyday Confidence
At the heart of POCO X8's marathon endurance is a fully upgraded battery with greater capacity, faster charging, and a longer lifespan. POCO X8 redefines mobile freedom with a massive 8,340mAh (typ) battery, delivering 63.2% more capacity than its predecessor.¹ Built on silicon-carbon battery technology with a 13% silicon content, it delivers high energy density and supports beyond 2-day battery life on a single charge.² The battery is also built for long-term endurance, retaining 80% or more of its capacity after 1,600 charge cycles, providing reliable performance for an equivalent of roughly six years of regular use.³ Moreover, POCO X8 has passed extensive demanding tests across extreme temperature environments, mechanical stress, and battery life cycles, earning TÜV SÜD 5-star Battery Performance Certification for strong battery reliability.⁴
Complementing this upgraded endurance is support for 67W HyperCharge⁵ and 22.5W wired reverse charging⁶, enabling rapid power-ups while allowing the phone to serve as a portable power bank for other devices on the go.
Comfortable Viewing with Large Eye-Care Display
Designed to maximize every moment on screen, POCO X8 packs a massive 6.83-inch 1.5K ultra-bright display, offering a more immersive field of view for entertainment, gaming, and everyday browsing. With up to 3,500 nits peak brightness across 25% of the screen,⁷ content stays clear and easy to see even under direct sunlight. Empowering this experience is a flagship-grade luminous material, delivering brighter visuals with greater power efficiency.⁸ To support comfortable viewing throughout the day, POCO X8 features TÜV Rheinland eye-care certifications, allowing users to enjoy their favorite content with enhanced visual comfort for longer.
Design and Durability Elevated to the Next Level
Designed for a modern lifestyle, POCO X8 embraces a clean, minimalist look with geometric elements and sharp lines. The middle frame adopts a sandblasting finish, presenting an improved texture and a more comfortable grip. On the front, the flat screen with narrow bezels delivers a spacious and immersive visual experience.
Adding the finishing touch to the elegant design is exceptional durability. The device delivers industry-leading IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K water and dust resistance ratings⁹ to keep the phone safe across everyday scenarios. Taking this even further, POCO X8 debuts POCO's first Underwater Mode, unlocking entirely new experiences from this new perspective.¹⁰ The innovative feature is ideal for capturing fun moments with friends and family in the water, or even snapping fish inside fish tanks. On top of these, the display is protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2. POCO X8 delivers excellent anti-drop and anti-scratch performance that protects the screen from direct drops of up to 3 meters.¹¹
All-Round Performance for Daily Essentials
Running on the Snapdragon® 6s Gen 4 Mobile Platform built on an advanced 4nm process, POCO X8 delivers solid everyday performance and enables fast app launches, smooth multitasking, and responsive task switching. An integrated Adreno GPU further enhances the experience, delivering smooth visuals for high-definition gaming and demanding 3D workloads.
Powered by Xiaomi HyperOS 3,¹² POCO X8 delivers a smarter, more connected everyday experience. With Xiaomi HyperIsland¹³ for intuitive smart features and Google Gemini¹⁴ as a built-in AI assistant, it helps streamline daily tasks.
For enhanced communication and connectivity, Xiaomi Offline Communication¹⁵ keeps users connected even without network coverage, ensuring seamless communication in remote areas. The device also supports up to a 300% volume boost¹⁶ for louder and more immersive audio on the go or at home.
Authentic Portraits and Smart Image Editing
POCO X8's upgraded imaging system elevates portrait quality across all scenarios to help users capture the moments with true authenticity. The 50MP main camera, equipped with both OIS and EIS, is complemented by a 16MP front camera, delivering natural-looking portraits with greater detail in diverse lighting conditions. With Dual video, users can capture both front and rear views at the same time, combining two perspectives in one recording to create more dynamic and engaging content.
After shooting, intuitive AI editing tools like AI Glare Removal, AI Erase Pro, AI Image Expansion, AI Image Enhancement, and AI Beautify make it easy to refine every shot and create polished visual stories.¹⁷
