Poco X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max: full specs leak

Poco is gearing up to launch two sizable devices – the X8 Pro Max and X8 Pro – with a near-complete spec sheet just leaked. From the “feature list,” the Pro Max looks like a heavyweight contender in battery life and multimedia, while the standard Pro is a more compact, slightly lighter model that shares a similar feature set.

Price and release date

The leak covers nearly every spec but doesn’t reveal pricing or the exact launch date. By its positioning, this is clearly Poco’s play for the mainstream “power user” segment: massive batteries, 100W charging, and a boosted focus on audio and display quality. This combination is aimed squarely at buyers who prioritize battery life and media consumption over lightness and compactness.

In terms of competition, these Poco models will go head-to-head with Xiaomi/Redmi’s internal brands and Realme’s lineup: UFS 4.1, LPDDR5x, and Wi-Fi 7 are familiar features in upper-midrange and flagship smartphones. If Poco keeps up its signature aggressive pricing strategy, these phones could steal some market share from rivals whose brand premiums push prices higher.

The trade-offs are clear: the X8 Pro Max tips the scales at 219 grams and measures 8.15mm thick – the cost of packing an 8,500mAh battery. For some users, that weight could be a dealbreaker; for others, battery endurance and blazing-fast 100W charging will win out. The claimed IP68/IP69/IP69K durability and Wi-Fi 7 support further add to the argument these devices are built for long-term use without needing an upgrade anytime soon.

Quick outlook

Poco is sticking to a proven formula: take flagship-grade components (UFS 4.1, LPDDR5x, powerful chipsets) and pack them into an aggressively priced chassis with a large battery. If Poco nails the price-to-performance balance, the X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max might become some of the most feature-packed devices in their price bracket. Now we just have to wait for official pricing and regional availability to see which competitors lose out as a result.
