Design and Specs Insights
While official technical details haven’t been confirmed, rumours and earlier leaks hint that the X8 Pro series will resemble the recently announced Redmi Turbo 5 lineup, which appears to share many core internals and features.
Expected specifications include:
- POCO X8 Pro: Likely a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a high refresh rate, possibly powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor.
- POCO X8 Pro Max: Possibly equipped with a larger 6.83-inch panel and the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset.
- Both models could sport OLED screens, fast charging, and large batteries — making them appealing for everyday use and gaming.
In addition, official listings have shown multiple colour options and similar design language for both models — hinting that POCO could be positioning them with a unified aesthetic.
Launch Expectations & Market Impact
POCO hasn’t yet revealed the global or Indian launch date, but leaks and certifications suggest both phones are nearing release. The Max variant has already received certification in India, hinting at an imminent launch.
If these leaked prices hold true, the X8 Pro series could appeal strongly to customers seeking premium features without flagship-level costs, potentially giving POCO a strong foothold in the mid-to-upper segment in 2026.
