Editorial report

Xiaomi Poco X8 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Xiaomi Poco X8 suits buyers who put a bright display and a large-capacity battery first, and can live with a main camera sensor smaller than those in most phones of its time. It is also a heavy phone at 223 g.

Its 6.83-inch AMOLED display reaches 3,500 nits peak brightness, higher than on most phones launched around the same time. The display’s 447 ppi is also higher than on most. Refresh rate is 120 Hz. Its 9,000 mAh battery and 67 W charging both exceed what most phones of its time offer. Reverse charging is included as well.

The Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 scores 678,000 in AnTuTu v10, above most phones of its time. This configuration has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the Poco X8 is also sold with 8 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB. The 50 MP main camera has optical image stabilization, but its 1/2.76-inch sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time. A 2 MP depth camera is also included. Its NeoScore is 6.4, placing it above average among phones launched around the same time. The Poco X8 makes the most sense for buyers who want a bright screen and a battery with ample capacity, while accepting a heavier handset and a smaller-than-most main camera sensor.
