Rumors have been circulating for some time that Poco is preparing to add another smartphone to its X8 family. While the lineup already includes the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max, speculation suggested that a standard Poco X8 was also in development. That possibility has now gained credibility after the handset surfaced on a well-known certification platform.

Thailand’s NBTC and Singapore’s IMDA authorities have certified a new Poco smartphone carrying the model number 2607DPC18G. The NBTC listing confirms that the device will be marketed as the Poco X8.

Apart from identifying it as a 5G handset, the certification does not disclose any hardware details. On the other hand, the IMDA listing reveals few more details like support connectivity features, such as NFC, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.

Poco X8 specifications (expected)

A recent report revealed that the Poco X8 could be a rebadged version of the Redmi Note 17 Pro 5G, which recently went official in China. Therefore, the Poco X8 5G may feature a 6.83-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and up to 3200 nits of peak brightness. It may house a 9,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.

Under the hood, the X8 could feature the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chip, coupled with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. The device could feature a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. It may come with other features, such as an in-display fingerprint sensor, dual speakers, and an IP66/68/69/69K-rated body.

Apart from the Poco X8, the brand is gearing up to launch the Poco M8 Power. The brand has already started teasing this device, and is expected to launch either by the end of this month or early August.
