Poco X8 5G Global Launch Officially Teased

Poco has shared a teaser on X hinting at the arrival of a new X-series smartphone. While the company has not revealed the name of the device, the timing and recent certification activity suggest that it could be the Poco X8.

The teaser image shows a smartphone in a familiar Yellow colour, a shade that has been used on several X-series models in the past. Notably, Poco has not only shied away from revealing the official name, but it is yet to officially confirm any key details or the launch date.

Poco X8 5G Expected Specifications

According to recent reports, the Poco X8 could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 17 Pro 5G, which was launched in China last month. If that turns out to be the case, the Poco phone could feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The smartphone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset and could pack a huge 9,000mAh battery. For photography, the Poco X8 may feature an 8-megapixel front camera, while the rear could house a dual-camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary camera.

Other expected features include HyperOS 3 based on Android 16, an in-display fingerprint sensor and an IP68/69-rated body, which would provide a high level of protection against dust and water.

Earlier this year, Poco launched the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max in several markets. At the time, there was speculation that the company might skip the standard X8 model this year. However, the phone appearing on certification platforms in recent months has indicated that the device is indeed in development. The latest teaser now suggests that its launch may not be far away.
