Xiaomi sub-brand POCO has yet to announce the launch of the X8 series. There hasn’t been a ‘Max’ model in the POCO X series yet. This means the POCO X8 Pro Max will be a first. Some leaks also suggest that the POCO X8 Pro Max launching in India could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 5 Max, which was recently launched in China.
Design: Modern and Premium Look
The POCO X8 Pro Max’s design looks quite attractive based on leaked images. This phone comes with a flat frame, made of a metal mid-frame. This not only makes it sturdy but also gives it a premium feel. The back panel features a dual-camera setup, maintaining a clean and minimalist design. Thin bezels with a punch-hole front camera give it a modern look. Details regarding weight and thickness are not yet available.
Display: The POCO X8 Pro Max’s biggest highlight is its display. According to leaks, it will come with a 6.83-inch LTPS OLED screen that supports 1.5K resolution. With a 120Hz refresh rate, it will ensure smooth gaming and scrolling. HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support are expected, which will take video streaming to the next level. The brightness level can reach up to 2000 nits.
Performance: The Power of the Dimensity 9500s Chipset
In terms of performance, the POCO X8 Pro Max is leaving no stone unturned. It will be the world’s first phone powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset. This chipset is built on a 4nm process, offering a powerful combination of CPU and GPU. The AnTuTu score is reported to be around 3.29 million, which could rival the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Battery: A 9,000mAh Mega Powerhouse
The battery is the biggest surprise of the POCO X8 Pro Max. According to leaked reports, it will come with a 9,000mAh battery, which is POCO’s largest battery to date. Some sources are mentioning 8,500mAh for the global version, but a 9,000mAh battery is expected for the Indian market.
Looking at the Redmi Turbo 5 Max’s specifications, it is the world’s first phone to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s processor. This means the POCO X8 Pro Max could become the first phone to launch in India with the Dimensity 9500s chipset. The company could offer the POCO X8 Pro Max in India with both 12GB and 16GB of RAM. This Poco phone is also expected to feature the latest Xiaomi HyperOS 3.
