Xiaomi Poco M8x has been officially released on August 27, 2026.

Product Main Features:

The phone measures 170.1 × 78.4 × 8.8mm and weighs 232g, making it a fairly large and heavy phone. It has a glass front with Gorilla Glass 7i, a plastic frame and either a plastic or eco-leather back, along with IP64 protection against dust and water splashes. The display is a 6.9-inch IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and 720 × 1600 resolution, giving it around 254 ppi.

Gorilla Glass 7i provides screen protection, but the relatively low resolution is a noticeable limitation compared with the higher-resolution AMOLED panels found on more expensive models. Performance comes from the Snapdragon 4 Gen 5, built on a 4nm process, with two Cortex-A78 cores at 2.4GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz.

Xiaomi Poco M8x uses the Adreno 613 GPU and comes with 4GB or 6GB RAM, 128GB UFS 2.2 storage and a dedicated microSDXC slot for expansion. The rear camera setup includes a 50MP f/1.8 main camera with PDAF, accompanied by an auxiliary lens. Video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps, while the 8MP f/2.0 selfie camera also records at 1080p30 and supports HDR.

This is a fairly basic camera setup without advanced stabilization or high-resolution video options. Audio is handled by stereo speakers, and this model retains a 3.5mm headphone jack, with support for 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res audio. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BDS, while NFC is not available and FM radio is supported.

The phone uses USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG and includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, accelerometer, proximity sensor and compass. It supports dual Nano-SIM connectivity and 5G, while the software is Android 16 with support for up to four major Android updates. The battery capacity is 7,900mAh, paired with 45W wired charging and PD support. It also offers 22.5W reverse wired charging, allowing the phone to function as a power source for other devices. The available colours are Leather Green, Black and Blue.

Hardware

CPU The main chipset of the device.

Octa-core (2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 5
GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion.

Adreno 613
RAM (Memory) RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices.

4 GB, 6 GB
Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored.

128 GB
Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras.

microSDXC (dedicated slot)
Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device.

Fingerprint (side-mounted), accelerometer, proximity, compass

Software

Operating System OS => Every computer system run on a base software called Operating System (OS). Operating System controls all basic operations of the computer (such as smartphone, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices). The Operating System allows the user to install and run third party applications (apps), apps are used to add new functionality to the device.

Android 16
User Interface UI or user interface of a device is the look and feel of the on-screen menu system. How it works, its color scheme, how it responds to button presses, all of these things are part of the user interface.

Yes

Camera

Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality.

50 MP (wide) + Auxiliary lens

1080p
Video

1080p@30fps
Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration)

Network

SIM SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that contains mobile network subscriber's account information. This allows the phone using the card to attach to a mobile network. The SIM card is most commonly associated with GSM and UMTS mobile networks. Moving a SIM card from one phone to another allows a subscriber to switch mobile phones without having to contact their mobile network carrier. SIM cards can also be used by a phone to store limited amounts of data, such as phone numbers and text messages.

Nano SIM
Dual SIM

GPS GPS The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio navigation system, GPS permits users to determine their position, velocity and the time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world, In order to locate your position, your device or GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky.

Yes
NFC NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish peer-to-peer radio communications with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches.

No
Wireless Charging Wireless Charging (Inductive Charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. This is usually done with a charging station. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device.
