Xiaomi Poco X8 5G
The POCO X8 5G is a smartphone designed for those looking for outstanding battery life, a large display, and a build made for demanding everyday use. Its Snapdragon platform, 5G connectivity, and main camera with optical image stabilization make for a balanced package for communication, entertainment, photography, and everyday apps.
Screen
Its 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution delivers sharp images, vivid colors, and deep blacks. The refresh rate of up to 120 Hz makes scrolling through menus, web pages, and compatible content smoother.
The display reaches a localized peak brightness of up to 3,500 nits and features DC dimming and 3840 Hz PWM technologies. It also incorporates Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, Wet Touch Technology 2.0, and TÜV Rheinland certifications to reduce blue light and flicker.
Battery and charging
One of its main highlights is the 8,340 mAh silicon-carbon battery, designed to provide long battery life during intensive use.
Supports up to 67 W HyperCharge fast charging, USB Power Delivery protocols, and up to 22.5 W wired reverse charging. The power adapter is not included, so a compatible USB PD charger must be used to make the most of fast charging.
Performance
The device features the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 mobile platform, built using a 4 nm process and equipped with an octa-core CPU clocked at up to 2.4 GHz.
The Android 16 with Xiaomi HyperOS 3 operating system offers a smooth experience and adds artificial intelligence features, photo editing tools, Circle to Search, and Google Gemini compatibility. The availability of some features may vary by region and installed updates.
Camera
The 50-megapixel main camera with OIS optical image stabilization helps capture steadier, more detailed images. It is paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor to support portrait mode.
The front houses a 16-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. Both the rear and front cameras can record video at Full HD resolution at 30 frames per second.
Design and durability
The POCO X8 5G features a body 8.6 mm thick and weighing 223 grams, with a reinforced structure and protection against everyday knocks.
The version sold in Spain has IP66 and IP68 certifications for dust and water resistance under controlled laboratory conditions. It also has SGS-certified drop resistance from a height of up to 3 meters onto the surface used in testing.
Water resistance is not permanent and may decrease with wear. It is not considered a professional waterproof device and is not recommended for use in swimming pools, at beaches, in salt water, or while charging.
Connectivity
It offers 5G connectivity, Dual SIM with two nano SIM cards, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, infrared, and a comprehensive positioning system compatible with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS.
The USB-C port uses the USB 2.0 standard and supports OTG functions. The device is not compatible with eSIM or memory cards.
