Xiaomi’s subsidiary Poco today announced its new Poco M8 Power smartphone in India. It is a big-battery phone with 8000mAh capacity that Poco claims delivers up to three days of power.
You’d expect an 8,000mAh cell to make a phone feel like a brick, but Poco has kept things surprisingly trim here. The back panel is plastic, with a wide camera bar running across the width of the phone that houses two circular cutouts for the camera and flash, plus the Poco logo. Despite all that battery inside, the phone comes in at just over 8.4mm thick and weighs around 220 grams.
Poco M8 Power Specifications
Up front, you get a 6.9-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel running at 120Hz, with peak brightness hitting 1,800 nits and 960Hz PWM dimming to ease eye strain in low light.
Poco also claims the screen covers the full DCI-P3 colour range. Gorilla Glass 7i sits on top, and the phone carries IP65 protection against dust and light splashes.
Inside, you get a Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chip paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. You get 45W wired charging support, and the phone can even reverse-charge other gadgets at 22.5W.
On the back, you’re getting a 50MP main camera, while an 8MP shooter handles selfies. Both cap out at 1080p video. Software-wise, the phone ships on HyperOS 3 over Android 16, and Poco is promising four years of OS updates and six years of security patches. You also get an IR blaster and AI tools like Circle to Search along for the ride.
Price and availability
The Poco M8 Power starts at Rs 24,999 for the 6GB/128GB variant, while the 8GB/128GB model costs Rs 27,999. Poco is also throwing in bank offers worth Rs 3,000 on top to sweeten the deal. Sales kick off on August 7, 2026, exclusively through Flipkart.
