POCO has introduced the POCO X8, its latest X-series smartphone, featuring a massive 8,340mAh battery, a 6.83-inch 1.5K display, and the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor. Designed for everyday entertainment and mobile gaming, the new smartphone focuses on longer battery life, smooth performance, and durability, with promotional prices starting at ₱21,999 in the Philippines.
One of its biggest highlights is the 8,340mAh silicon-carbon battery, the largest ever featured in POCO’s X series. This represents approximately 63% more battery capacity than its predecessor, the POCO X7, which featured a 5,110mAh battery. For mobile gamers, the additional capacity provides more room for extended gaming sessions without frequently reaching for a charger.
The device also supports 67W HyperCharge, which POCO claims can recharge the battery to 45% in just 30 minutes. Additionally, it features 22.5W wired reverse charging, allowing users to share battery power with compatible devices.
Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 for Mobile Gaming
Under the hood, the POCO X8 is powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4, built using a 4nm manufacturing process. The chipset is paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, providing a balance of performance and efficiency for gaming, multitasking, and everyday applications.
According to POCO, the smartphone achieves an AnTuTu V11 benchmark score of approximately 940,000, making it an option for gamers looking for capable hardware without spending on a flagship device.
Larger 120Hz Display and Improved Durability
The POCO X8 features a 6.83-inch 1.5K flat display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a larger viewing area compared to the previous generation’s 6.67-inch curved screen. It also delivers up to 3,500 nits of peak brightness, helping improve visibility when gaming or watching content in bright environments.
Beyond gaming, the smartphone includes a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), dual speakers, and Xiaomi HyperOS.
The POCO X8 also features IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance under specified testing conditions. It comes in three color options: black, white, and orange.
