Evidence-based overview

Poco M8 technical sheet

Poco M8 is a 5G phone built around a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with 1,080 × 2,392 px resolution. Its documented display equipment includes a 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling, peak brightness of 3,200 nits and DCI-P3 support. The fingerprint reader sits under the display, while the body measures 7.4 mm thick and weighs 178 g.

A 4 nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 powers the phone, paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 512 GB of expandable UFS 2.2 storage. Android 15 is installed, with 5 years of OS update support. The listed AnTuTu v10 result is 631,693; this is benchmark evidence, not a test performed by NeoTeo.

The 5,520 mAh Si-Carbon Li-Ion battery supports 45 W fast charging, reverse charging and 18 W wireless charging. The 50 Mpx main camera records 4K at 30 fps and includes RAW capture, Night Mode and phase-detection autofocus, but optical image stabilization is not listed. Poco M8 is best suited to users who prioritize a high-refresh-rate display, 5G, expandable storage and flexible charging features. The USB 2.0 connection is the clearest documented technical compromise.
