Poco X8 Pro Series India Launch Timeline Leaked

According to tipster Abhishek Yadav @yabhishekhd on X, the Poco X8 Pro Max and Poco X8 Pro could launch in India by mid-March.

That’s not the only thing the tipser revealed. In the same X post, the tipster also shared a benchmark screenshot and claimed that an early test unit of the Pro Max variant achieved an AnTuTu benchmark score of 36,12,095. The screenshot further reveals that the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s. It had a CPU score of 951,052 points and a GPU score of 1,452,620 points, based on AnTuTu version V11.0.3-OB3.

However, the screenshot shared by the tipster does not mention the name of the smartphone anywhere. It instead mentions that the device could be a rooted version.

In any case, if this score holds true, the device could be positioned as a performance-focused smartphone in the upper mid-range segment.

Although Poco has not officially confirmed the launch date, a mid-March debut suggests that more teasers and announcements may surface soon.
