Editorial report
Xiaomi Poco M8 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet
Poco M8 suits buyers who want a large, very bright display, a light body and 5G connectivity without a high price. Its main trade-off is the camera: the 50 MP main sensor is small for most phones of its time, and optical image stabilization is absent.
The 6.77-inch AMOLED display reaches 3200 nits and covers 89.7% of the front; both figures are better than most phones launched around the same time. At 178 g and 7.4 mm, the body is among the lightest and thinnest of its time, while 120 Hz is typical. IP66 and IP65 provide water and dust protection, and the stereo speakers support Dolby Atmos. Android 15, five years of system updates, NFC, Wi-Fi 6E and dual-SIM support round out the useful features.
The configuration shown pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage, while Poco M8 is also sold in 8 GB / 512 GB and 12 GB / 512 GB versions. Its 5520 mAh battery and 45W charging are typical, with reverse charging and 50 hours per cycle under the European energy label. Performance and connectivity are typical for its time, while the camera is worse than most because of its small sensor. NeoScore: 6.1. It is a bargain for buyers who prioritize the display and slim design.
