Poco has confirmed the launch date of the Poco M8 5G in India. While only limited details have been shared so far, official teasers already point towards a renewed focus on design, ergonomics, and everyday usability.
Poco M8 5G India launch and design focus
The Poco M8 5G will launch in India on January 8 at 12 pm IST and will be sold via Flipkart. According to the company, the new model represents a shift towards a design-led approach within the mid-range segment. The M-series has traditionally prioritized value and performance, but this time, Poco appears keen to highlight aesthetics and build quality as well.
Poco has positioned the Poco M8 5G as the slimmest smartphone in its segment, measuring just 7.35mm in thickness and weighing around 178 grams. The phone features a dual-tone rear finish, with recent teasers suggesting a combination of matte texture and vegan leather. The camera module sits centrally in a squircle-shaped housing, accommodating two rear cameras and an LED flash. Poco claims this design language is aimed at younger users who value both style and comfort in daily use.
Apart from the black variant showcased in the above image, the device is rumored to arrive in light blue and black-silver dual-tone versions.

The device is confirmed to feature a 50-megapixel AI primary camera, while other leaks hint at a dual rear camera setup.
