With this setup, the phone is expected to comfortably deliver up to two days of usage on a single charge, making it suitable for heavy users, gamers, and frequent travellers.
Based on current information, the Poco X8 Pro Max is believed to be a global rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 5 Max. The Redmi model was launched in China recently with an even larger 9,000mAh battery. The slightly smaller capacity on the Poco variant is likely due to regional safety standards and certification requirements. Even so, the Poco X8 Pro Max would still sit ahead of most competitors in terms of battery size.
