The POCO X8 Pro is no longer just a rumour — it’s now showing up in benchmark databases, and the specs are looking very promising for mid-range phone hunters.
POCO X8 Pro Benchmark Leak: What We Know So Far
A device listed under model number 2511FPC34G has appeared on Geekbench, revealing the key internals of the upcoming POCO X8 Pro. The listing confirms a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 SoC, 12GB RAM, and Android 16 out of the box — a solid starting point.
| Spec | Details |
|---|---|
| Model Number | 2511FPC34G |
| Processor | MediaTek Dimensity 8500 |
| RAM | 12GB |
| OS | Android 16 |
| Display (expected) | 6.59″ 1.5K 120Hz AMOLED |
| Battery (expected) | 7560mAh, 100W charging |
| Camera (expected) | 50MP + 8MP rear, 20MP front |
| IP Rating (expected) | IP69K |
| Launch Timeline | March 2026 (India & Global) |
The POCO X8 Pro is expected to be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 5, which already launched in China last month with an IP69K rating and a massive 7560mAh battery with 100W fast charging. If POCO carries all of that over globally, this could be a serious value bomb.
Why This Is Exciting for India
The phone has already cleared NBTC and South Korean RRA certifications, meaning a global launch is imminent. Adding fuel to the fire, MediaTek confirmed it will bring a POCO device powered by the higher-end Dimensity 9500s to India — likely the POCO X8 Pro Max, a rebranded Redmi Turbo 5 Max.
According to MediaTek, the chip delivers flagship-level performance at a mid-range price, making it ideal for POCO’s positioning. Pair that with a near-7600mAh battery and 100W charging, and the X8 Pro could easily become the most talked-about budget flagship of early 2026.
