NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Xiaomi Poco M8s is the more complete choice for anyone wanting a better display, more storage and stereo sound. The Poco M7 Plus makes sense mainly if it costs less, although it adds a 3.5mm jack.
The decisive difference is the display: the M8s uses AMOLED, while the M7 Plus has IPS LCD. Both have a 6.9-inch screen, 1080 px resolution, 374 ppi and 850-nit peak brightness, but the M7 Plus adds a 144Hz refresh rate. The M8s offers 256GB versus 128GB on the M7 Plus; both use UFS 2.2 and support expandable storage.
The M8s also brings stereo speakers and Hi-Res Audio, compared with the M7 Plus’s loudspeaker. Both share a 7,000mAh battery, 33W fast charging and reverse charging, along with the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 and 8GB of RAM. The M7 Plus keeps the 3.5mm audio jack; otherwise, its trade-off is an IPS display and half the storage of the M8s.
