Poco will launch the Poco X8 Pro series in India and global markets tomorrow at 5:30 PM IST / 20:00 GMT+8. The lineup is expected to include the Poco X8 Pro, Poco X8 Pro Max, and a limited Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition. Ahead of the launch, a leak has revealed the expected pricing for the Indian market.
According to tipster Paras Guglani, the Poco X8 Pro will start at ₹33,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant. The 12GB + 256GB model is tipped to cost ₹37,999. The Poco X8 Pro Max is expected to arrive in two storage options. The 12GB + 256GB version may be priced at ₹41,999, while the 12GB + 512GB model could cost ₹45,999.
The leak also mentions a possible introductory offer for the base Poco X8 Pro model. Buyers may receive a ₹3,000 discount, which would lower the effective price of the 8GB + 256GB variant. It is not yet confirmed whether this offer will also apply to the higher memory version or the Poco X8 Pro Max models.
The Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition is also expected to launch alongside the standard variants. The limited edition device is tipped to carry a price of ₹43,999. With launch offers, the effective price may drop to around ₹40,999. The discount is expected to come through instant bank offers or cashback.
If the leaked pricing turns out to be accurate, the Poco X8 Pro series will launch at a higher price than its predecessor. The Poco X7 Pro launched in India last year at ₹27,999 without launch offers. This suggests a price increase of around ₹6,000. The increase reflects the wider smartphone market trend where rising component costs are pushing prices up.
Earlier details from the Flipkart microsite revealed key specifications of the devices. The Poco X8 Pro has an 8.3mm glass body with a scratch-resistant matte finish and a metal frame, weighing 201g. It comes with IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance and also carries SGS certification.
The phone features a 6.59-inch 1.5K display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. The panel supports a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3500 nits peak brightness. For photography, the device uses a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera with f/1.5 aperture and both optical and electronic image stabilization. It is paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera that offers a 120-degree field of view. Both camera modules feature red accent rings.
The camera system supports 4K 60fps video recording, 4K night video, zero delay shutter, and motion capture. AI editing tools include Image Enhancement for clarity, Image Expansion for extending scenes, Magic Eraser Pro for removing objects, and Sky Replacement for changing the sky in photos.
Audio comes from dual 1115F symmetrical stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision support. The phone also offers a 400 percent volume boost and a dedicated low-volume nighttime mode.
The Poco X8 Pro Max shares most of these features but comes with a larger 6.83-inch display. It also replaces the Sony IMX882 camera with a 50MP Light Fusion 600 sensor.
Both models will be available in Black, White, and Light Blue color options in India through Flipkart. Poco will also release the limited Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition alongside the standard models.
