POCO X8 Pro Overview
Design and Display
The POCO X8 Pro features a 6.95-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling. It also has a 3840Hz PWM dimming with peak brightness up to 3500 nits for eye comfort and outdoor use. The display is impressively bright and vibrant. Colors look natural, and even when pushed hard with fast-motion games, the screen response felt snappy and smooth.
On the design side, the POCO X8 Pro uses a glass front and an aluminum frame, with a thickness of 8.2mm. Honestly, holding the device, it feels solid and premium for a mid-range phone — a big improvement over previous X-series models. You also get an IP68/IP69K rating in this device. Likewise, there's a funky Iron Man Edition that looks dope!
Performance
Under the hood, the POCO X8 Pro packs the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset with eight Cortex-A725 performance cores, including a prime core running at a robust 3.4GHz. The performance bump isn't that massive compared to POCO X7 Pro's Dimensity 8400 Ultra. It is just around 8-10%.
Likewise, the Mali-G720 MC8 GPU handles the graphics side here. The phone delivers very stable FPS, good 5% lows, and overall smooth gameplay. Thermals are also quite impressive, considering this is a relatively compact phone. You also get LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, so overall, the performance side of things is very solid. Moreover, Poco X8 runs on Android 16 with HyperOS 3.
Cameras
As for the optics, it features a 50MP Sony IMX822 primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide camera on the back that supports 4K video at 60 fps. Up front, there is a 20MP selfie shooter that can also record 1080p video at 60 fps. With this setup, the phone is just decent enough for casual photos; portraits are also not that spectacular due to the lack of a telephoto lens.
Battery and Rest
In terms of battery, the phone gets its juice from a 6500mAh cell, which lasted pretty well in our usage. You get 100W fast-charging support for quick top-ups, plus 27W reverse-wired charging.
Extras include an optical fingerprint sensor, Wi-Fi 6, an IR blaster, and stereo speakers.
