Xiaomi’s subsidiary Poco has introduced the X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max smartphones, featuring large silicon-carbon batteries, powerful chipsets, and 256GB of storage as standard. Despite being more affordable, these devices offer impressive specifications that outshine the recent Pixel 10A on paper. Notably, both phones incorporate a subtle approach to RGB lighting, with small rings of LEDs within their rear camera modules.
The standout feature of the X8 Pro Max is its massive 8,500mAh silicon-carbon battery, with an even larger 9,000mAh version available in select markets. This substantial battery capacity promises extended usage without compromising the phone’s slim 8.2mm form factor. Additionally, the 100W PPS wired charging ensures swift battery refills.
Performance-wise, the Pro Max is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500s chipset, offering 12GB of RAM, 256GB or 512GB storage options, and a sizable 6.83-inch OLED display. The slightly smaller X8 Pro features a 6.59-inch panel and a 6,500mAh battery capacity, driven by the Dimensity 8500-Ultra chipset. Both phones possess impressive dust and water resistance up to IP69K standards, though they come with relatively modest camera specifications.
