Poco is expanding its X8 series in India with two new phones, and one of them is clearly built for people who hate charging their phone multiple times a day. The Poco X8 Power leans hard into battery life, making it a practical pick for anyone who wants serious endurance.
The big story here is the battery. It packs a massive 10,000mAh silicon-carbon cell, one of the largest you’ll find on a mainstream phone, plus 100W HyperCharge for quick top-ups. It can even reverse-charge other devices at up to 27W over a wired connection. That huge battery does add some bulk though: the phone weighs 229g and measures 8.65mm thick. For comparison, the Poco X7 has a 5,500mAh battery, measures 8.4mm thick, and weighs 190g.
The display is a 6.83″ flat 1.5K AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and peak brightness up to 3,500 nits. It supports up to 3,200Hz instantaneous touch sampling in Game Turbo mode, Wet Touch 2.0, and TUV Triple Eye Protection, all under Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Under the hood sits the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5, with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB storage (base 128GB models use UFS 2.2, while higher ones get UFS 4.1). Other bits include a 32MP front camera, stereo speakers, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.
The phone carries IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for ingress protection. It runs Xiaomi HyperOS 3 based on Android 16, with four OS upgrades and six years of security patches promised.
Price and availability
The X8 Power is priced at Rs 35,999. With a Rs 2,000 coupon discount and a Rs 1,000 bank offer or exchange bonus, the effective price drops to Rs 32,999. It goes on sale from September 11, 2026, at 12 noon exclusively on Flipkart. You can also grab it on 12-month no-cost EMI starting at Rs 2,750 per month.
