POCO is preparing to expand its X-series lineup in India after teasing a new “nexT” smartphone. Based on leaks and rumours, the upcoming launch is expected to introduce the Poco X8 Pro series, which could include the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max. Ahead of any official announcement, alleged retail images of the Poco X8 Pro 5G have surfaced online, revealing several key specifications.
The leaked images were shared by tipster Paras Guglani on X and show the retail box along with the device covered in its factory protective film. The packaging confirms that the phone will use a MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra processor and a 6,500mAh battery with 100W HyperCharge fast charging support.
On the front, the device is said to feature a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor with optical image stabilisation for improved photo and video stability. According to the tipster, the Poco X8 Pro could launch in India around mid-March 2026. The global rollout timeline remains unclear beyond a general “coming soon” indication. Earlier reports also suggested the Poco X8 Pro may be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 5, which debuted in China in January.
Previous coverage revealed that Poco India had already started teasing the launch through social media posts highlighting the letter X and referencing a smarter upcoming phone. Two models are expected, including the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max.
The Poco X8 Pro Max is tipped to feature a 6.83-inch 1.5K TCL M10 OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2000 nits peak brightness, and 3840Hz PWM dimming. It may run on the Dimensity 9500s processor with an Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU, paired with LPDDR5x Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The camera setup could include a 50MP Light Hunter 600 main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 20MP OV20B front camera. The device is also expected to pack an 8,500mAh battery with 100W wired charging and 27W reverse charging.
Earlier leaks for the standard Poco X8 Pro suggested features such as a Mali-G720 MC8 GPU, LPDDR5x Ultra RAM, UFS 4.1 storage, a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 20MP front camera. Other expected features include a metal frame, NFC, IR blaster, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, an optical in-display fingerprint scanner, WiFi 6 connectivity, and a possible Iron Man themed edition.
