What Else Is Reportedly Under The Hood
Leaks suggest the X8 Power could pair its Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chip with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, alongside a 50MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide, and 32MP front camera.Tipsters also claim the phone could receive four OS upgrades and six years of security updates — a rare software commitment at this price segment.
The standard X8, meanwhile, is expected to carry a 9,000mAh battery, larger than even the existing X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max, suggesting POCO’s real pitch here is battery life over raw performance.
Where This Slots Into POCO’s Lineup
The X8 Pro currently retails around ₹39,999 and the X8 Pro Max around ₹49,999 in India, leaving a clear gap under ₹35,000 for the new X8 and X8 Power to fill. This positions the duo as accessible options built around battery endurance and durability rather than flagship-level chips.
Fast charging and massive-capacity batteries have become defining trends in the broader smartphone market, especially in budget and mid-range segments where all-day battery life often outweighs raw performance for everyday users.
