Specs, Features
The Poco X8 Pro Max 5G has a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen with cutting-edge 3,840Hz PWM dimming technology. This makes for a seamless visual experience with a peak brightness of 3,500 nits and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The Poco X8 Pro 5G has a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen, which is slightly smaller than its sibling’s. The max refresh rate and resolution are the same, however. Both versions have IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for dust and water protection. This shows that they are built to last and can withstand harsh conditions.
Both versions also include an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which makes them more secure.
Out of the box, the devices operate on Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3, which is based on Android 16.
The Max variant has advanced specs, including a 3nm octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset, 12GB of LPDDR5x Ultra RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 internal storage. The Poco X8 Pro 5G, on the other hand, has a 4nm octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra SoC and can hold up to 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM. Its internal storage can hold up to 256GB using UFS 4.1 technology.
The max model has a Poco 3D Ice Loop cooling system that works well for managing heat. It has a large heat dissipation area of 5,800 square millimetres. The Pro 5G model, on the contrary, has a cooling system with a somewhat lower heat dissipation area of 5,300 square millimetres. The purpose is to keep the temperature stable while doing jobs that need a lot of power.
The Poco X8 Pro series phones feature dual rear camera units consisting of the following:
- Both models have a 50-megapixel (f/1.8) primary camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS).
- They include an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view.
- A 20-megapixel front camera is provided for selfies and video calls.
- The devices can record videos at 4K/60 fps.
