POCO has started sales of its X8 Pro series in India, which includes the X8 Pro Max, X8 Pro, and a limited Iron Man Edition.
As seen with earlier X-series launches, this is more of a continuation than a shift. The lineup sticks to the same core idea POCO has followed for a while now, focus on performance hardware and large batteries, without changing much else around it.
What's new this time
The X8 Pro Max runs on the Dimensity 9500s chipset, while the X8 Pro uses the Dimensity 8500-Ultra. POCO is again positioning both devices around performance, with support for high frame rate gaming and updated cooling systems.
Battery capacity has gone up compared to previous models. The Pro Max features a 9000mAh battery, while the X8 Pro comes with a 6500mAh unit. Fast charging and reverse charging are supported on both.
The rest of the hardware remains in line with what the series has offered so far. There's a 50MP main camera, AMOLED displays with high brightness, stereo speakers, and IP-rated builds.
The phones run on HyperOS 3 and include a set of AI and ecosystem features.
The X8 Pro series is now available in India, with the Pro Max offered in three colour options and the standard Pro in three as well. Launch offers include bank discounts, EMI options, and bundled benefits. v
Like previous X-series releases, the X8 Pro lineup doesn't change direction. It mainly updates the core hardware while keeping the overall approach the same.
