Poco is gearing up to introduce a new M-series smartphone in India as fresh teasers point to the launch of the Poco M8 5G. The company had earlier teased an upcoming M-series device on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle. It has now been followed by another post confirming that the Poco M8 5G will launch soon in the Indian market.

The latest Poco India X post for this launch features a 10-second teaser video that shows a glimpse of the upcoming smartphone.

Moreover, a dedicated microsite for the smartphone is also now live on Flipkart.

Although the Flipkart page does not directly name the Poco M8 5G, the URL clearly mentions “Poco M8,” leaving little doubt that the microsite is meant for the upcoming device. Poco has also highlighted its previously launched M-series smartphones on the page, accompanied by the tagline “Designed to Slay”.

The microsite offers a partial look at the smartphone in a black colour option. The teaser image hints at a dual-texture rear design, featuring a matte-finished central panel surrounded by a vegan leather-style outer lining. The camera module design shown on the page appears similar to that of the Redmi 14C 5G, which is scheduled to launch in India on January 6th, 2026. This resemblance further strengthens speculation that the Poco M8 5G could be a rebranded version of the same handset.

Earlier reports suggested that Poco was planning to launch the Poco M8 series in India in January 2026. However, based on the latest official X post and the live Flipkart microsite, there is no mention of a Poco M8 Pro at the moment.

We can expect more confirmed details about the Poco M8 5G to surface in the days leading up to its official launch in India.
