Poco is preparing to launch its next-generation Poco X8 series in India next week. The lineup is expected to include the standard Poco X8 and a higher-end Poco X8 Power, with both smartphones tipped to focus on display quality, performance, battery life and durability.
Ahead of the official announcement, leaked details have revealed several specifications of the upcoming smartphones. Both models are expected to feature large OLED displays, while the X8 Power could offer a significantly larger battery and faster charging compared with the standard model.
Poco has not officially confirmed the launch date, specifications or other details of the upcoming X8 series yet.
Poco X8 Series Launch Date and Price in India
According to the latest leak, the Poco X8 price in India could fall between ₹28,000 and ₹30,000. Meanwhile, the Poco X8 Power price in India is tipped to be around ₹35,000.
The reported pricing would put the standard Poco X8 in the competitive ₹30,000 segment, while the X8 Power could target buyers looking for a more powerful configuration and a larger battery.
