Poco unveiled the Poco M8 in the first half of the year in India. This was followed by the Poco M8 Power with an 8,000mAh battery earlier this month, and now the brand is back with the Poco M8x 5G. It comes with a 120Hz AMOLED screen, the latest Snapdragon 4-series chip, and a massive battery. Here’s everything you need to know.

Poco M8x 5G specifications and features

The Poco M8x 5G sports a 6.9-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 825 nits of brightness and 240Hz touch sampling. The panel also gets Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection, DC dimming and Wet Touch 2.0, while the phone carries an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance.

The M8x is India’s first phone to feature the all-new Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 chipset, built on a 4nm process. The new chip is coupled with up to 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. It runs HyperOS 3 based on Android 16, with Poco promising four Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates. The camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main rear camera with 2x digital zoom and a 2-megapixel macro camera, along with an 8-megapixel front camera.

The biggest highlight is the 7,900mAh battery, which supports 45W wired charging and 22.5W wired reverse charging. Poco claims the phone can deliver up to 35 hours of social media use, 27 days of messaging, 13 hours of GPS navigation, or 64 hours of music playback. A triple cooling system helps manage heat during extended use.

Poco M8x 5G price and availability

The Poco M8x 5G starts at Rs 20,999 (~$220) for the 4GB+128GB variant, while the 6GB+128GB model costs Rs 22,999 (~$240). A Rs 2,000 bank discount is also available. The phone will go on sale from August 27 at 12pm IST via Flipkart in Black, Blue and Leather Green, with the latter featuring a vegan leather finish.

The post Poco M8x 5G launches with 7,900mAh battery, Snapdragon 4 Gen 5, 120Hz screen appeared first on Gizmochina.

Poco is expanding its M8 series again, and early details suggest the newest model is aimed at people who want solid battery life and everyday performance without spending too much. While the company has already put out higher-spec versions earlier this year, this one looks like the more affordable option in the lineup.

Leaked specs point to the Poco M8x 5G coming with a 6.9-inch IPS LCD display at HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. That would make it the first M8-series phone to use an LCD panel, both the M8 (which launched in January) and the more recent M8 Power stick with AMOLED screens. Under the hood it’s expected to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300, paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage that can be expanded with a microSD card. It’s also tipped to ship with HyperOS 3 out of the box.

Battery life seems to be a focus, with reports talking about a 6,000 mAh cell and 33W wired charging. Camera details are still thin, though recent Poco teasers have shown a dual rear camera setup with an LED flash. Design-wise, there’s talk of a green colour option with a gold-accented camera module and a flat frame.

The leaked hardware lines up pretty closely with what’s been circulating about the Redmi 17C 5G, which is also expected to use a 6.9-inch 720p LCD, the same Dimensity 6300 processor, and a 6,000 mAh battery with 33W charging. Earlier speculation that linked the M8x to the Redmi 17 5G (which uses a Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 and a bigger 7,500 mAh battery) no longer looks accurate based on the latest info.

In India, the Poco M8x 5G would become the third M8-series model. Poco hasn’t confirmed the launch date, final pricing, or full specs yet, and the reported RAM and storage options still need official confirmation.

The post Poco M8x 5G specs leaked: Dimensity 6300, 6.9″ HD+ LCD display appeared first on Gizmochina.

Poco is adding another phone to its lower mid-range lineup. A new member of the M8 family has started showing up online, and it looks like it’s aimed squarely at people who want 5G at an affordable price.

The company has begun teasing the M8x 5G on Flipkart. The teaser reveals part of the rear design of the phone. Unlike the Poco M8 Power, it features a smaller camera island.

Based on the teaser, the device appears to have two rear camera cutouts. However, it wouldn’t be surprising if only one of those cameras turns out to be truly useful. For reference, the Poco M8 Power packs a 50MP main camera paired with a low-resolution auxiliary sensor.

The Poco logo sits right in the middle near the bottom. The flat middle frame also appears to have a gold accent, just like the camera module. Overall, it’s a pretty clean, straightforward look.

Beyond the rear design and the confirmation that it’s 5G, Poco hasn’t shared much else yet. Specs, price, and a firm launch date are still under wraps, though more details should drop in the next few days.

For context, the M8 Power has a 6.9-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chip, an 8,000mAh battery, up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. It launched at ₹24,999. The upcoming M8x will probably land in a similar price range or a bit lower, sticking to Poco’s usual playbook of packing decent hardware into affordable phones.

The fact that a dedicated Flipkart page is already live usually means the official announcement isn’t far off. India’s budget 5G segment is already crowded, and the M8x looks set to jump into that mix with the usual focus on everyday performance, solid battery life, and no-frills design.
