Poco X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max specifications leaked: Huge 8,500 mAh battery and Dimensity 9500s chip.
The Poco X8 Pro series impresses with its massive 8,500 mAh battery, 100W fast charging, and powerful configuration featuring the Dimensity 9500s chip and ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
Poco is preparing to refresh its flagship product line with the Poco X8 Pro and the first-ever high-end version, the Poco X8 Pro Max. According to leaked information, these will be mid-range devices with flagship-level power, featuring groundbreaking battery capacity and stringent durability standards.
Poco X8 Pro Max: The pinnacle of power with its 8,500 mAh battery.
The top-of-the-line version, the Poco X8 Pro Max, is truly impressive with its massive 8,500 mAh battery. This far exceeds the usual standards in the current smartphone market. The device supports 100W wired fast charging and 27W reverse charging, optimizing usage time for demanding tasks.
In terms of display capabilities, the TCL M10 features a 6.83-inch OLED screen with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. With a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits, this screen ensures a sharp visual experience even in bright light conditions.
The Pro Max's processing power comes from the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chip, combined with LPDDR5x Ultra RAM and high-speed UFS 4.1 storage. The camera system includes a 50MP main camera using a Light Hunter 600 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 20MP front camera. Notably, the device also features a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor and the advanced Wi-Fi 7 standard.
Poco X8 Pro: The perfect balance between performance and design.
The Poco X8 Pro aims for a balance with a more compact 6.59-inch screen size while retaining the same 1.5K resolution OLED panel and 120Hz refresh rate. This version uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra processor.
Despite being smaller than the Max version, the Poco X8 Pro still boasts a large 6,500 mAh battery and 100W charging. The main difference lies in the fact that this version uses a traditional optical fingerprint sensor and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.
