The POCO M8 5G has surfaced on Thailand’s NBTC certification database with model number 25118PC98G, signaling an imminent launch. Following multiple certifications across Singapore’s IMDA, EEC, and India’s BIS, the budget 5G smartphone appears ready for a global rollout in coming weeks.

What We Know About POCO M8 5G

The NBTC listing categorizes the device under Cellular Mobile (GSM/WCDMA/LTE/NR) with certification number B38826-25, but doesn’t reveal hardware specifications. However, Singapore’s IMDA certification confirms NFC support—a feature increasingly common in budget 5G smartphones. The model number ending in “G” denotes the global variant, while “I” refers to India-specific models.

Possible Rebranding Strategy

Based on POCO’s established pattern, the M8 5G could launch as a rebranded Redmi device. The Redmi 13C 5G became POCO M6 5G, while Redmi 14C 5G launched as POCO M7 5G. This suggests the M8 5G might be a rebranded Redmi 15C 5G, though some reports claim it could be the Redmi Note 15 5G instead.

The budget 5G segment continues heating up, and POCO’s M-series has consistently delivered value-focused options. As the M8 5G clears regulatory hurdles worldwide, expect official launch details within the coming weeks.
